Monitoring Service Subscription Options
Monitoring Service Subscription Options
An integral part of the Thatcham Insurance Approved solution is that your vehicle is continually monitored 24/7/365 by our NSI Gold Accredited Alarm Receiving Centre. The monitoring service subscription options are detailed below.
Built-in driver recognition and immobilisation prevent unauthorised use.
Prevent Thieves Before They Can Even Start the Engine
Imagine an impenetrable layer of security that doesn’t just track your vehicle, but actively prevents it from being stolen in the first place. The S5+ Thatcham Insurance Approved Tracker takes vehicle protection to the next level by combining its Driver ID system with the powerful addition of immobilisation. This means that unless an authorised driver is present with the Driver ID card, your vehicle simply cannot be started or driven. It’s a game-changing feature that halts theft before it even begins – the engine won’t even start if it’s in the wrong hands.
Whether it’s parked outside your house, at work, or left in a public area, the system immediately recognises when a thief is attempting to move it without permission and alerts you and our 24/7 monitoring centre right away, allowing for immediate action.
Perfect for:
- Completely neutralising key cloning and relay attacks: By preventing the engine from starting without the authorised Driver ID system, the S5+ renders these modern theft techniques useless.
- Providing unparalleled protection for high-value vehicles that are prime targets for thieves: The added layer of immobilisation offers an extra level of security for your most prized assets.
- Granting ultimate peace of mind when leaving vehicles unattended, whether overnight or for extended periods: Know that your vehicle is not only being monitored but also physically protected against unauthorised use.
Our UK-based control centre acts the moment there’s a threat.
24/7 Professional Monitoring Backed by Rapid Police Response
Even when your vehicle is out of sight, you can have complete confidence knowing it’s under the watchful eyes of security experts. With the S5+ Tracker, your vehicle benefits from continuous, round-the-clock monitoring provided by our NSI Gold-accredited Alarm Receiving Centre — a mark of the highest standards in security and reliability within the UK.
When a tracker alert is triggered, our trained security professionals act fast. They verify the alert, notify you immediately, and immediately initiate contact with law enforcement for a rapid and coordinated response.
We work directly with every UK police force, bypassing delays and ensuring that if your vehicle is compromised, it’s recovered as fast and safely as possible.
Here’s what this means for you:
- Verified alerts for genuine threats: Experience peace of mind knowing you’ll only be alerted when it truly matters, as our professionals meticulously verify events before contacting you, eliminating unnecessary worry.
- Rapid response by security experts: Benefit from the immediate action of trained security professionals who understand the urgency of the situation, rather than relying on automated systems to handle critical alerts.
- Accelerated recovery with real-time police coordination: In the event of theft, our direct communication and provision of precise location data to the police significantly speeds up the recovery process, increasing the chances of a swift and safe return of your vehicle.
Advanced tracking with business-ready features.

Meets stringent Thatcham S5+ certification and saves you money.
Thatcham S5-Approved. Fully Insurance-Compliant.
Crystal Ball’s S5+ Tracker proudly holds the stringent Thatcham S5+ certification, a testament to its superior security standards and its recognition by all major UK insurance providers. This approval isn’t just a badge of honour; it’s your key to potentially unlocking significant discounts on your insurance premiums and ensuring you meet crucial policy requirements for high-risk or high-value vehicles, avoiding potential complications down the line.
Why choose the S5+ over the standard S5?
Some insurers specifically require an S5+ level tracker for ultra-premium, performance, or high-theft-risk vehicles. If your policy hinges on meeting specific security standards, the S5+ guarantees you remain fully covered and compliant, providing essential peace of mind.
Why it matters:
- Helps meet coverage conditions for classic, custom, and luxury models: Whether you own a classic car, a custom-built vehicle, or a luxury model, the S5+ helps you satisfy the insurance conditions required for comprehensive protection.
- A financially sound alternative to dealing with post-theft recovery or premium hikes: Investing in the S5+ can be a more affordable and less disruptive solution than dealing with the aftermath of vehicle theft or facing consistently inflated insurance premiums due to inadequate security.
Built-in response to real-world theft attempts.
Immobilisation, Anti-Tamper Alerts, and Recovery Support
The S5+ Tracker comes equipped with tow detection and anti-tamper sensors. If someone tries to move or disable the tracker — whether through towing, disconnecting the battery, or breaking into the vehicle — you’ll be alerted instantly.
Crucially, the S5+ offers the significant advantage of immobilisation which provides a third tier of security .
This provides protection against scenarios such as:
- Towing without ignition: Receive immediate alerts if your vehicle is being towed away without the engine running.
- Battery tampering or tracker disconnection: Be instantly notified if anyone attempts to disable the tracker by disconnecting the battery or interfering with the device.
- Smarter “relay” theft tactics: The immobilisation feature effectively counters modern relay attacks aimed at exploiting keyless entry systems, preventing thieves from driving off even if they bypass the factory security.
We come to you, wherever and whenever it suits.

What does Thatcham-approved mean?
The Thatcham Research Centre carries out vehicle safety, security, and repair research in the UK. They developed the Thatcham categories, which are classifications of vehicle security devices widely recognised by insurers, manufacturers, and the automotive industry.

How can I keep my vehicle secure?
In addition to the installation of a Thatcham category S5+ tracker with GPS/GSM technology, following vehicle security best practices can help reduce your risk of theft. Where possible, park your vehicle in a private underground car park or garage with an alarm instead of on the street. If you have to park on the street, choose well-lit and busy streets with heavier footfall to reduce the risk of theft. Remember to double check the car door handle when you lock up – electronic remote jamming attacks are sometimes used by criminals to stop the doors locking.
