Does having a tracker mean that it will be more likely that my vehicle will be recovered?
The chance of recovery is improved greatly as you can live track the vehicle and receive alerts when a vehicle is moved.
Can the driver delete or amend records?
Drivers and any other users are not able to delete or modify any tracking records that are sent by our tracking devices.
Will my tracker work in an area with no phone network?
The simple answer to this is yes.
Even if there is no network at the time that the tracking device sends the data, the tracker will keep trying to send until the network is received and then all the data is “backdated” so you do not lose any data
Will it record my speeds and how accurate is this?
The tracker will record your speed via GPS, a poll is made every second and the speed is calculated across multiple points using the distance the vehicle has travelled during the time between the polls (this is usually more accurate than your speedometer.)
How often does my tracking device update?
The tracking device gets new GPS information every second and will create records based on set rules using this information. Records are sent to the server as they are created, the tracking platform updates to show them.
How does it work?
The system works by installing a small tracking unit within the vehicle or item you wish to track. Once installed the device communicates with our system over the mobile networks to give an accurate location of your item.
What are the benefits?
Each organisation will be given an exclusive log in to their system, with this you can track vehicles current live location, vehicles past location history, mileages, driving behaviour (with certain units only), and much more.
We only need to track 1 vehicle, can we still use the system?
Even with 1 vehicle you can use the system, each customer is treated equally and our technical support team will make sure you are up and running as smoothly as possible.
