Key Features of the Battery Powered Tracker Retrieve
-
Thatcham Category 7 Approved: The Tracker Retrieve is certified to the Thatcham Category 7 standard, a key requirement for many insurers. This approval ensures the tracker meets strict industry standards for vehicle security and stolen vehicle recovery.
-
5-Year Battery Life: Unlike traditional trackers, the Battery Powered Tracker Retrieve doesn’t rely on being connected to your vehicle’s battery. It comes with a built-in, long-life battery that can last up to five years on standby. This feature makes it ideal for vehicles or assets that may not have a constant power source, such as trailers, plant equipment, or caravans.
-
VHF Technology: The Tracker Retrieve uses patented Very High Frequency (VHF) technology, which offers superior tracking capabilities. This system is specifically designed to locate stolen vehicles, even when they are concealed in metal containers, underground car parks, or other hidden areas where GPS and GSM signals might struggle. VHF technology isn’t available on all tracking systems, but its ability to penetrate difficult environments makes it invaluable for recovering stolen assets.
-
Jamming Resistance: With modern thieves increasingly using GSM jammers to block tracking signals, the Tracker Retrieve is equipped with technology that is resistant to jamming. This means that even if criminals attempt to block the tracker’s communication, the system will still function effectively, ensuring your asset remains traceable.
Ideal for Non-Powered Assets
One of the main advantages of the Battery Powered Tracker Retrieve is that it doesn’t require a constant power supply from a vehicle. This makes it the perfect solution for protecting assets that are not always in use or do not have their own power source, such as caravans, trailers, or plant equipment. Even if the asset is parked or stored for long periods, the tracker’s 5-year battery will continue to operate, providing constant protection.
Wide Coverage and Support
-
EU-Wide Coverage: The Tracker Retrieve is not limited to the UK; it provides coverage across several European countries, including France, Spain, Italy, Poland, and Russia. If your vehicle or asset is stolen and transported across borders, you can still track its location and work with local authorities to recover it. This is especially useful for businesses with international operations or individuals who frequently travel with their vehicles.
-
Nationwide Police Support: The Tracker Retrieve works in partnership with all UK police forces, meaning that once a theft is reported, law enforcement can use the tracker’s data to locate and recover your vehicle. This partnership significantly increases the chances of a successful recovery, often within hours of the theft being reported.
Easy Installation
Installation of the Battery Powered Tracker Retrieve is simple and straightforward. Our professional engineers, approved by Thatcham, will discreetly install the unit into your vehicle or asset. The device is hidden from sight, ensuring that thieves are unaware of its presence, further enhancing the security of your property.
Health Check and Warranty
To ensure optimal performance, the Battery Powered Tracker Retrieve performs a health check every 14 days, reporting its status back to the control center. This regular check ensures the system is always ready to respond in case of theft. The unit also comes with a 3-year warranty for cars and light commercial vehicles (LCV), and a 1-year warranty for other types of vehicles, giving you additional peace of mind.
The Battery Powered Tracker Retrieve is a versatile and reliable solution for tracking and protecting vehicles and assets that do not have a constant power source. With its VHF technology, jamming resistance, and wide coverage across the UK and Europe, it offers an unparalleled level of security.
