Tracker S5 Plus – Premium Thatcham S5 Vehicle Tracking

The Tracker S5 Plus is a premium Thatcham Category S5 vehicle tracking and stolen vehicle recovery system, designed to provide advanced protection for cars, LCVs and motorhomes.

Combining military-grade patented VHF and MESH technology with GPS and GSM, the Tracker S5 Plus provides four-way location tracking designed to remain resilient against GPS/GSM jamming. It also features Driver ID tags, unauthorised driver alerts, vehicle movement alerts and battery disconnect alerts, giving you multiple layers of vehicle security.

The system is also compatible with hybrid and electric cars, making it suitable for a wide range of modern vehicles.

Thatcham Category S5 Tracker

The Tracker S5 Plus operates to the Thatcham Category S5 standard, meeting the vehicle insurance requirements associated with this category.

Thatcham S5 trackers are designed to provide enhanced stolen vehicle recovery and include automatic driver recognition, allowing the system to identify whether an authorised driver is using the vehicle. Tracker explains that Driver ID is a key requirement of the S5 category.

If your insurer requires a Category S5 tracker, always check your individual policy requirements before installation.

Advanced 4-Way Location Tracking

One of the key advantages of the Tracker S5 Plus is its four-way location tracking technology.

The system combines:

• Patented VHF technology
• MESH technology
• GPS
• GSM

This combination provides a more resilient tracking system than GPS/GSM tracking alone and is designed to help maintain vehicle visibility when criminals attempt to interfere with conventional tracking signals.

VHF & MESH Anti-Jamming Technology

The Tracker S5 Plus incorporates military-grade patented VHF and MESH technology, alongside GPS and GSM.

Tracker states that this makes the S5 Plus far more resilient to jamming attacks, providing an important additional layer of protection against attempts to disrupt conventional tracking technologies.

Automatic Driver Recognition

The Tracker S5 Plus includes Driver ID tags designed to identify authorised drivers.

If the vehicle is started without an authorised Driver ID tag being detected, the system generates an unauthorised driver alert, helping identify potentially suspicious vehicle use. Tracker states that the customer will be contacted following such an alert.

This provides an additional security layer beyond simply knowing where your vehicle is.

Vehicle Movement Alerts

The S5 Plus can detect unauthorised vehicle movement and generate an alert.

This can help provide early awareness if your vehicle moves unexpectedly, adding another layer of protection when your vehicle is parked or unattended.

Battery Disconnect Alerts

The system also includes a vehicle battery disconnect alert.

If the vehicle's battery is disconnected, the S5 Plus can generate an alert, helping identify potentially suspicious activity involving the vehicle's electrical supply.

Tracker Touch App

The Tracker Touch app gives you convenient access to your vehicle's Tracker system from your smartphone.

The S5 Plus provides additional app-based features including:

• Geofence alerts
• System health checks
• Vehicle battery health information
• Access to Tracker services

The app provides a convenient way to stay connected with your vehicle and its security system.

Geofence Alerts

The Tracker Touch app allows you to use geofence alerts, providing another way to monitor where your vehicle is operating.

A geofence can help notify you when your vehicle enters or leaves a defined area, depending on the system configuration.

24/7 Stolen Vehicle Recovery

The Tracker S5 Plus is designed around stolen vehicle recovery, rather than simply providing location information.

Tracker has more than 30 years of experience in stolen vehicle recovery and operates a security network designed to support vehicle recovery when a theft occurs.

The system combines advanced tracking technology with professional recovery support to help locate a stolen vehicle.

Compatible With Hybrid & Electric Cars

The Tracker S5 Plus is compatible with all hybrid and electric cars, according to the current Tracker product page.

This makes it a suitable option for owners looking for Thatcham S5 tracking on newer vehicle types, subject to vehicle-specific installation requirements.
