Scorpion S5+ Tracker with Immobilisation | Thatcham S5 Vehicle Security

Scorpion S5+ Tracker – Thatcham S5 Tracking with Immobilisation

The Scorpion S5+ Tracker with Immobilisation is an advanced Thatcham-approved vehicle tracking and security system designed to provide enhanced protection against vehicle theft, unauthorised movement and modern key-related theft techniques.

Building on the security features of the Scorpion S5, the S5+ adds automatic immobilisation, helping prevent the vehicle from being started when an authorised Driver Recognition Tag is not present.

The system combines 24/7 theft monitoring, GPS vehicle tracking, key-cloning protection, Driver Recognition, tow-away alerts and immobilisation, providing a comprehensive security solution for modern vehicles.

Thatcham-Approved S5 Vehicle Tracking

The Scorpion S5+ is part of ScorpionTrack's Thatcham-approved S5 tracking range, providing a recognised level of vehicle security for customers looking for an insurance-approved tracker.

The S5+ combines vehicle tracking with additional security technology designed to help detect and respond to unauthorised vehicle use.

Automatic Vehicle Immobilisation

One of the key differences between the S5+ and standard S5 tracking is its automatic immobilisation capability.

When the immobilisation feature is enabled, the vehicle is designed to start only when the authorised driver carrying the Automatic Driver Recognition (ADR) Tag is present.

According to ScorpionTrack's user guide, automatic immobilisation activates after the vehicle's ignition has been switched off for more than four minutes, when the tracker enters its sleep state. The feature can be armed and disarmed through the ScorpionTrack mobile app.

This provides an additional layer of security against unauthorised attempts to start the vehicle.

Key Cloning Protection

Modern vehicle theft can involve stolen or cloned vehicle keys. The Scorpion S5+ incorporates key-cloning protection through its Driver Recognition system.

The ADR Tag provides an additional method of recognising an authorised driver. If the vehicle is moved without the recognised driver tag, the system can identify the movement as potentially unauthorised and alert the monitoring team.

Automatic Driver Recognition

The S5+ uses Automatic Driver Recognition (ADR) to help determine whether an authorised driver is present.

The system includes two Automatic Driver Recognition Tags, providing a convenient solution for vehicles with more than one regular driver.

Driver recognition helps distinguish normal vehicle use from unexpected movement, adding another security layer alongside GPS tracking and immobilisation.

24/7/365 Theft Monitoring

The Scorpion S5+ is supported by 24/7/365 theft monitoring from ScorpionTrack's dedicated monitoring team.

When the tracker detects potentially unauthorised movement, the monitoring team can be notified and take the appropriate response according to the service and circumstances.

ScorpionTrack states that its monitoring team works with UK Police in the event of vehicle theft to assist with recovery.

GPS Vehicle Tracking

The S5+ provides GPS vehicle tracking to help monitor the location of your vehicle.

ScorpionTrack provides access through its mobile app and web-based tracking services, allowing customers to view vehicle location and journey information.

This makes the S5+ suitable for customers who want more than a traditional immobiliser, combining vehicle tracking with active security monitoring.

ScorpionTrack Smartphone App

The ScorpionTrack app provides convenient access to your vehicle's tracking information.

Depending on the installed system and enabled features, the app can provide access to:

• Vehicle location
• Journey history
• Security information
• Immobilisation controls
• Vehicle tracking data

The S5+ immobilisation function can be armed and disarmed through the mobile app.

Tow-Away & Tamper Alerts

The S5+ includes tow-away and tamper alerts, helping identify unexpected vehicle movement or interference with the tracking system.

Tow-away detection is particularly useful because a vehicle can be moved without its engine being started. ScorpionTrack states that its tracker can alert when a vehicle is towed or moved with the ignition switched off.

Automatic Health Checks

The Scorpion S5+ performs automatic health checks to help monitor the condition and operation of the tracking system.

This is designed to provide additional reassurance that the tracker remains operational and able to communicate with the monitoring service.

Multi-Network Roaming SIM

The S5+ uses a multi-network roaming SIM, helping the tracker maintain network connectivity across different mobile networks.

ScorpionTrack also describes its tracking systems as providing global coverage, with 4G capability on its current range. Actual tracking performance can depend on network availability, GPS signal and the environment in which the vehicle is located.

Heavy-Duty Waterproof Tracker

The ScorpionTrack S5+ is designed with a heavy-duty waterproof construction, making it suitable for demanding vehicle applications.

Low Current Draw

The S5+ is designed for low current consumption, with ScorpionTrack specifying less than 1mA when the tracker is in its sleep state.

This helps minimise the impact of the tracking system on the vehicle's battery when the vehicle is not being used.

Transferable to a New Vehicle

The Scorpion S5+ is designed to be transferable to a new vehicle, providing additional flexibility if you change vehicles.

Transfer conditions and any associated fitting or subscription requirements should be confirmed before transferring the system.

Suitable for a Range of Vehicles

ScorpionTrack's Thatcham-approved tracking systems are designed for a variety of vehicle applications, including:

• Cars
• Vans
• Motorhomes
• Commercial vehicles
• High-value vehicles

The S5+ can be particularly suitable for vehicles where enhanced theft protection and immobilisation are required.

Automatic vs Remote Immobilisation

The S5+ provides two immobilisation options depending on the configuration.

Automatic Immobilisation

When enabled, the vehicle can be prevented from starting unless the authorised driver carrying the ADR Tag is present.

Remote Immobilisation

ScorpionTrack's documentation also describes remote immobilisation, allowing the ScorpionTrack Vehicle Recovery Team to remotely immobilise a vehicle following a theft where automatic immobilisation has not already engaged.

Remote immobilisation is dependent on the relevant configuration/relay being installed.
