Thatcham S5 tracker with Bluetooth driver detection, by card or smartphone app.
The SmarTrack S5 is a Thatcham Category S5 stolen-vehicle tracking system, monitored 24/7/365 by the Global Telemetrics Secure Control Centre in the UK. Driver recognition is built in: carry a Bluetooth Driver Detection card, or use the D-iD smartphone app. If the vehicle moves without an authorised driver, the control centre is alerted straight away and contacts you, and its dedicated recovery team works with police to get the vehicle back.
Key Features
Carry the Bluetooth Driver Detection card, or use the D-iD app on your phone. The tracker knows an authorised driver is present, with nothing to press.
If the vehicle moves without an authorised driver, the Global Telemetrics Secure Control Centre is alerted immediately and contacts you.
Monitored around the clock from the UK, with a dedicated recovery team that works with police to recover stolen vehicles.
Location from GPS and GLONASS satellites, sent over the mobile network across the UK and Europe.
An internal backup battery keeps the tracker reporting even if the vehicle's power is cut.
Set virtual boundaries and get an alert if the vehicle leaves them, plus warnings if the vehicle battery runs low.
See your vehicle's location and alerts in the free GTE Track app.
How It Works
The S5 detects your Driver Detection card or D-iD app while you drive.
If no authorised driver is detected, the control centre gets an instant alert.
The control centre contacts you, then its recovery team works with police using the live location.

FAQ
Both are Thatcham-approved trackers with 24/7 monitoring. The S5 adds driver recognition, so the system knows when an authorised driver is present. If your insurer specifies S5, you need an S5.
Yes. As well as the Bluetooth Driver Detection card, the SmarTrack S5 works with the D-iD smartphone app.
No. The S5 is a tracker, not an immobiliser. It alerts the control centre if the car moves without an authorised driver. Pair it with a Pandora or CAN-Phantom immobiliser for layered protection.
The monitoring subscription is paid separately once the tracker is installed: 1 year £159, 2 years £269, 3 years £369, duration of vehicle ownership £649, or £14.49 a month by Direct Debit.
