Trackers

[Mozza]

Trackers are ace, My mates got one on his Bentley, It cost him £400 to have fitted and with first years subscription and now its £140 a year, He works on the oil rigs, He rings the tracker company when hes away and says if it moves between these dates somethings worng and to ring him, His dad borrowed it when he was away once and he couldnt tell them in time,they did actually ring him, So at least he knows it works :thumbup1:

Just came across this while rummaging. Its from Hong Kong and its a none subscription type but requires a sim card;

 

GPS TRACKER REAL TIME SPY CAR VEHICLE TRACKING SYSTEM on eBay (end time 05-Feb-10 08:29:29 GMT)

 

Any thoughts on this type?

mines a satrack system, runs on gps n vodafone sim, accurate gps coordinates given by texting or ringing it, tells me speed and heading, if it starts, if ignition is on, even if its moved or vibrates, easily programmable, can even turn engine off on it, if tracker is disconnected it lets me know too, think it can cook and clean but not tried that function yet, only 500+vat fitted...bargain.

You want to get a tracker with assisted GPS, this way if it's parked undercover or in a container, it can get a location from the phone network.

For the portable device i.e. not wired into a 12V battery I looked at this system http://www.carnetics.co.uk/downloads/brochure_asset.pdf (sorry if you not allowed to post links) Although I have not done this I was thinking of putting it onto my Ifor Tipper as mentioned because wiring a normal tracker into the battery would be a bit obvious due to the battery being on show. However concealing it on a tipper is a little difficult without welding extra bits onto it.

 

I will dig out a link tonight for the system on my JCB.

 

My JCB is covered by Trafficmasters Trackstar, as I said very happy with it.

Is it true that if you reverse the polarity on the battery, then run a strip of weld on the machine it blows the tracker?

I sincerely hope not, as you've just told them how to do it if they didnt already know:001_rolleyes:
