SO WHAT IS TRACKER AND HOW DOES IT WORK?

A TRACKER unit is a small electronic homing device, which is fitted to your vehicle in any number of covert places that are virtually impossible to detect, Unlike other more expensive systems, there are no telltale antennae or aerials to give its presents away. When stolen, it will emit a signal that the Police can pick up. there are two systems, TRACKER RETRIEVE and the rapid alert TRACKER MONITOR.

1. THE VEHICLE IS STOLEN
   Thieves are becoming more and more skillful at bypassing modern day alarms and immobilisers often knowing exactly what your vehicle is fitted with.
   
   
2. THE VEHICLE HAS GONE, WHAT DO I DO NOW?
   With TRACKER there is a choice of two types of system:-
   
   With TRACKER RETRIEVE, once you realise your vehicle has been stolen you then notify both Police and the 24 hour TRACKER Network Control Room.
   
   TRACKER MONITOR incorporates a movement detector so the unit actually senses the theft of the vehicle and automatically alerts TRACKER Network who in turn contact you to inform you of a probable theft.
   
   
3. ACTIVATE THE SYSTEM
   Once the theft has been confirmed by you, the 24-hour TRACKER Network Control Room based in Uxbridge activates the unit on the vehicle via a nation-wide network of transmitters. The unit then begins to emit a uniquely coded silent tracking signal which can be detected by the Police and the tracking procedure begins.
   
   
4. TRACKING THE VEHICLE
   All of the UK's 52 Police Forces operate the system. Police cars and helicopters are fitted with the necessary computers that will enable them to track and locate your vehicle, normally within a few hours.
   
   
5. APPREHENDING THE VEHICLE
   As the system uses radio wave technology, the vehicle can be located anywhere - in a garage, underground, in the back of a lorry or even in steel shipping containers. TRACKER detectors are also sited at fixed sites, such as ports, to reduce the chances of exportation. Once the Police pick up the signal, they will find the vehicle. Police cars have an effective range of up to 5 miles and helicopter units have a range of up to 50 miles. There is no safe hiding place. Quite often, as well as finding your vehicle, the thief is also caught. Sometimes, the Police will also find other stolen vehicles in a "haul" as well as yours.
   
   
6. GUARD AND RECOVER
   The theft of your vehicle is never convenient. it is even less convenient when you are informed that it is 100 miles away in a not so desirable area. Thanks to TRACKER this is no longer a problem, GUARD AND RECOVER is a standard service on both systems. TRACKER will arrange for a uniformed security guard to be sent immediately to wait with your vehicle after the Police recovery and will ensure its safe return to you by the AA anywhere in mainland Great Britain.
