Stop Thieves in Their Tracks — Even Before They Try

Imagine the peace of mind knowing your vehicle is protected before a potential thief can even drive away. Unlike conventional trackers that only activate after a theft has occurred, the S5 Thatcham Insurance Approved Tracker takes a proactive approach to theft prevention. Our smart Driver ID card system offers an additional layer of security. Whether it’s parked outside your home, at work, or left in a public area, if the Driver ID card is not present when your vehicle is started the Monitoring Centre will be immediately alerted. You will also be contacted immediately to verify the whereabouts of your vehicle, allowing for immediate action to be taken in the event of a theft.

Note: If you want a further layer of security, then the S5+ with immobilisation, is the best option.  S5+ page

Tamper-Proof. Tow-Alert Ready. Theft Recovery Made Simple.

The S5 tracker is equipped with anti-tamper sensors and tow detection technology, so if someone tries to lift, move, or interfere with your vehicle, you’ll know immediately.

In the unfortunate event of theft, the S5 switches to recovery mode. Our expert team then takes over, coordinating directly with the police, and with real-time, precise location data provided by the S5, vehicle recovery often occurs within hours, not days.

Real-world scenarios this protects against:

  • Unauthorised towing or loading onto a trailer: Receive instant alerts if your vehicle is being moved without the engine running, potentially preventing theft by towing.
  • Attempts at battery disconnection or tracker tampering: Be immediately notified if someone tries to disable the tracker by disconnecting the power source or physically interfering with the device.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • What is the S5 tracker?

    Thatcham, also known as the Motor Insurance Repair Research Centre, is responsible for measuring and categorising the level of vehicle security a tracking system offers. The 'S5' is an indicator of the trackers Thatcham classification. All Thatcham approved tracking systems are designed to meet each Thatcham Category's specific criteria before installation.

  • What's the difference between the category S5 tracker and S5+ tracker?

    The S5+ offers one additional feature that the Thatcham category S5 lacks: immobilisation when the authorised driver tags are not present. More than just sending an alert in the case of an unauthorised movement, the S5+ tracker actually immobilises the vehicle so the would-be thief cannot move it. This optional extra feature makes the S5+ a popular choice among high value vehicle owners who want total security for their property, and who want to enjoy the lowest premiums from their insurance companies.

  • What's the difference between the S5 and S7 trackers?

    As the very first Thatcham Category, the S7 has significantly fewer features than the S5. The S7 trackers are not hardwired into the vehicle but instead are simply battery powered. The tracker is also only accurate within a few hundred yards, communicating via its RF frequency. If you're looking for a reliable and high security tracking system, we highly recommend installing the S5 tracker.
