My Auto Security S5 Tracker | Thatcham S5 Vehicle Tracker

My Auto Security S5 Tracker | Thatcham S5 Insurance Approved Tracker

Protect your vehicle with the My Auto Security S5 Tracker, a Thatcham insurance-approved vehicle tracking system combining real-time GPS tracking, Automatic Driver Recognition, 24/7 UK monitoring and advanced theft alerts.

Designed for cars, vans and vehicles requiring a higher level of monitored security, the S5 Tracker helps protect against unauthorised driving, tow-away theft, tampering and power loss.

With a discreet professional installation, Driver ID technology and access to a dedicated UK monitoring centre, the My Auto Security S5 provides security and peace of mind whether you're protecting a personal vehicle or managing a fleet.

Thatcham Category S5 Vehicle Tracker

The My Auto Security S5 Tracker is Thatcham Insurance Approved under Security Certificate TSC 524, making it suitable for vehicles where an insurer requires an approved Category S5 tracking system.

Thatcham S5 tracking goes beyond a standard GPS tracker by combining monitored vehicle tracking with Automatic Driver Recognition (ADR).

This means the system can identify when a vehicle is being driven without an authorised Driver ID Tag and alert the monitoring centre.

Always check your individual insurance policy to confirm which Thatcham category your vehicle requires.

Automatic Driver Recognition

One of the key features of the My Auto Security S5 Tracker is Automatic Driver Recognition.

The system uses a Driver ID Tag to identify an authorised driver.

When the authorised Driver ID Tag is detected, the vehicle can be driven normally. If the vehicle is driven or moved without the recognised tag, the system can generate an alert to the 24/7 monitoring centre.

This adds an extra layer of protection against unauthorised vehicle use.

Driver ID protection can help detect:

• Unauthorised driving
• Vehicle movement without the authorised tag
• Tow-away activity
• Potential theft attempts

The Track Manager system also supports using a smartphone as a Driver ID option through its secure app, according to the supplied product information.

24/7 UK Vehicle Monitoring

Your vehicle is monitored around the clock by a UK-based 24/7 monitoring centre.

When a relevant security alert is triggered, the monitoring team can contact the authorised recipient to establish whether the vehicle is being used legitimately.

This means you're not relying solely on noticing a notification yourself.

The monitoring service can also support the recovery process following a confirmed theft.

Priority Police Response & Recovery Support

The Track Manager S5 is connected to a monitoring service capable of supporting a Level 1 priority police response following a verified theft.

If your vehicle is stolen, the monitoring team can liaise with the police to assist with tracking and recovery.

If a theft occurs, you should contact the police immediately and obtain the required crime or incident reference number before following the monitoring provider's recovery procedure.

Real-Time GPS Vehicle Tracking

The My Auto Security S5 provides real-time GPS vehicle tracking, allowing you to monitor your vehicle's location and movements.

The system uses GPS/GLONASS, GPRS and GSM technology to provide vehicle location information.

Through the tracking platform, you can access information such as:

• Live vehicle location
• Journey routes
• Destinations
• Journey duration
• Distance travelled
• Previous vehicle movements

This gives you greater visibility of your vehicle whether you're at home, at work or away from your vehicle.

Tow-Away Detection

The S5 Tracker is designed to detect vehicle movement even when the ignition is not present.

This is particularly important if someone attempts to steal your vehicle by towing it, winching it onto a transporter or moving it without driving it under its own power.

If unexpected movement is detected, an alert can be sent to the monitoring centre.

Tow-away protection can help identify:

• Vehicle towing
• Winching
• Flatbed recovery movement
• Unauthorised vehicle movement

Tamper & Unplugged Alerts

The S5 doesn't only monitor where your vehicle is.

It also monitors the tracking system itself and can provide alerts if the tracker is tampered with or unplugged.

This provides an additional layer of protection against attempts to interfere with the tracking system.

Low Battery Monitoring

The system also provides a low battery warning, helping identify potential vehicle battery issues or situations where the tracker may be losing its power supply.

Track Your Vehicle From Your Phone

The My Auto Security S5 works with a free iOS and Android mobile app, allowing you to monitor your vehicle from your smartphone.

The app provides access to vehicle movement and journey information, making it easy to keep an eye on your vehicle wherever you are.

Mobile tracking features include:

• Real-time vehicle location
• Journey information
• Route history
• Destinations
• Travel duration
• Distance travelled
• Vehicle monitoring

GPS Journey History

The S5 provides detailed information about your vehicle's journeys.

Review previous routes, destinations, travel times and distances to understand how your vehicle has been used.

This can be particularly useful for:

• Personal vehicle monitoring
• Business vehicles
• Company cars
• Commercial vans
• Fleet management
• Reviewing journeys following an incident

Discreet Professional Installation

The S5 Tracker is professionally and covertly installed within your vehicle.

The Track Manager system specifies professional installation so the tracking device can be discreetly positioned within the vehicle rather than being left visible or easily accessible.

My Auto Security can arrange professional installation to suit your vehicle and requirements.

Insurance Certificate

Once your S5 Tracker has been professionally installed, the required documentation can be provided for your insurer.

Because insurance requirements differ between vehicles and policies, always check with your insurer to confirm that Thatcham Category S5 is the required level of security.

What Makes an S5 Tracker Different From a Standard GPS Tracker?

A standard consumer GPS tracker may simply show you where a vehicle is.

The My Auto Security S5 provides a much more comprehensive monitored security solution.

Feature	My Auto Security S5	Standard GPS Tracker
Thatcham S5 approval	✓	Usually no
Real-time GPS tracking	✓	✓
24/7 UK monitoring	✓	Usually no
Automatic Driver Recognition	✓	No
Driver ID Tag	✓	No
Tow-away detection	✓	Varies
Tamper alerts	✓	Varies
Unplugged alerts	✓	Varies
Low battery alerts	✓	Varies
Professional installation	✓	Varies
Police/recovery support	✓	Usually no

The key difference is that the S5 combines tracking technology with monitored vehicle security and Driver ID recognition.

S5 vs S7 vs S5+

Choosing the correct Thatcham category is important, particularly if your insurer has specified a particular category.

S7

Monitored vehicle tracking with features such as tow-away, tamper and power-loss detection.

S5

Adds Automatic Driver Recognition and Driver ID technology, helping identify unauthorised driving.

S5+

Adds engine immobilisation to the S5 specification, providing No Tag, No Start protection.

If your insurance policy specifically requires S5, the My Auto Security S5 provides the appropriate S5-level solution. If your insurer requires S5+, you should choose an S5+ system instead.

Who Is the My Auto Security S5 Tracker Suitable For?

The S5 Tracker is suitable for a wide range of vehicles where monitored tracking and driver recognition are important.

Personal Cars

Protect your vehicle with live GPS tracking, Driver ID recognition and 24/7 monitoring.

High-Value Vehicles

An S5 tracker can provide an additional layer of monitored protection for vehicles where security is a priority.

Commercial Vans

Monitor business vehicles and help identify unauthorised vehicle movement.

Company Vehicles

Track vehicle journeys and help maintain greater visibility over business vehicles.

Fleet Vehicles

What Happens If Your Vehicle Is Stolen?

If the S5 detects an event such as:

• Unauthorised driving
• Movement without the Driver ID Tag
• Tow-away activity
• Tampering with the tracker

an alert is sent to the monitoring centre and the authorised contact can be contacted.

If the vehicle has genuinely been stolen, you should contact the police and obtain a crime or incident reference number.

The monitoring team can then assist with tracking the vehicle and liaising with the police during the recovery process.

S5 Tracker Subscription

The S5 is a monitored tracking system, meaning an active subscription is required for the ongoing monitoring service.
