Looking for a Thatcham Approved S7, S5 or S5 Plus Tracker?

Vehicle Defence specialises in the professional installation of insurance-approved GPS tracking systems for cars, vans, motorhomes and commercial vehicles throughout Greater Manchester, Derbyshire, High Peak, Staffordshire, Yorkshire and the North West.

Whether your insurance company has requested a tracker or you simply want the best protection against vehicle theft, we supply and install industry-leading tracking systems that provide real-time vehicle monitoring, theft detection and rapid recovery. Many insurers specify Thatcham-approved tracking systems for higher-value vehicles because they meet recognised security standards.

As a fully mobile installation company, we come directly to your home, workplace or business premises, providing a convenient and professional fitting service.

Thatcham Approved Trackers are independently tested to meet recognised UK security standards and are accepted by many insurance companies.

These systems are designed to:

• Help recover stolen vehicles
• Monitor vehicle location in real time
• Detect unauthorised movement
• Alert a professional monitoring centre
• Provide peace of mind 24 hours a day

Depending on your insurer and the value of your vehicle, you may require either a Thatcham S7, Thatcham S5 or Thatcham S5 Plus tracking system. The key distinction is that S5 systems include Automatic Driver Recognition (ADR), while S7 systems focus on theft tracking and recovery.

Thatcham Category S7 Tracker is an excellent choice for everyday vehicles, prestige cars, vans and motorhomes where insurance-approved GPS tracking is required.

Typical features include:

• Live GPS Tracking
• Smartphone App
• Journey History
• Geofencing
• Tamper Alerts
• Theft Detection
• 24/7 Monitoring
• UK & European Coverage (selected systems)

S7 trackers are designed to maximise the chances of recovering your vehicle quickly if it is stolen.

A Thatcham Category S5 Tracker offers everything included with an S7 system while adding Automatic Driver Recognition (ADR).

ADR uses a secure driver tag or approved smartphone to confirm that the authorised driver is using the vehicle. If the vehicle moves without recognised driver identification, the monitoring centre is alerted immediately.

Benefits include:

• Live GPS Tracking
• Driver Recognition
• 24/7 Monitoring
• Theft Alerts
• Smartphone App
• Geofencing
• Journey Reports
• Battery Monitoring
• Insurance Approved

This is the preferred choice for many prestige and performance vehicles.

For customers wanting the highest level of protection, we also install Thatcham S5 Plus Trackers.

An S5 Plus system combines advanced GPS tracking with driver recognition and, on compatible systems, additional immobilisation functionality to provide another layer of defence against key theft and relay attacks. Features vary by manufacturer and vehicle compatibility.

Ideal for:

• Prestige vehicles
• Supercars
• Performance cars

• High-value vehicles
