Thatcham S5 insurance-approved tracker with automatic driver recognition.
The Meta Trak S5 is a Thatcham Category S5 stolen-vehicle tracker, the higher of the two tracker categories and the one insurers often ask for on higher-value vehicles. Alongside 24/7 GPS monitoring, it uses small driver ID tags. If the vehicle moves without a registered tag, Meta Trak's secure monitoring centre is alerted straight away and contacts you, then works with the police to recover it.
Key Features
Carry a small ID tag. When the ignition is on, the S5 checks for it, and no tag means an instant alert to the monitoring centre.
A secure control room watches for alerts around the clock, contacts you if something's wrong and coordinates with police to recover the vehicle.
Tracking and police liaison across the UK and Europe, useful if you travel or tour abroad.
Get alerts if the vehicle is lifted or towed, or if someone tampers with the tracker.
An internal backup battery keeps it reporting even if the car's battery is disconnected.
See your vehicle's location and journey history in the Meta Trak app.
How It Works
Drive with your ID tag and the S5 knows it's you.
The tracker alerts the 24/7 monitoring centre instantly.
The control room contacts you to confirm the theft, then works with police using the live GPS location.
