How vehicle tracking can protect you and your family

You might think a vehicle tracker is unnecessary or something you’ll never really use.

But your car is one of the most valuable assets you own — and often one of the most expensive.

If it’s stolen, the financial and personal impact can be significant.

Without a vehicle tracking service, there’s only a small chance of getting your car back.

With one, the likelihood of recovery increases dramatically. And with South Africa’s ongoing high rates of vehicle crime, the risk of hijacking or theft is real.

Not only is losing your car incredibly inconvenient, but you could also end up paying for a vehicle you no longer have.

Installing a tracking device is one of the best steps you can take to protect your car. And today, tracking is about far more than stolen vehicle recovery.

Modern tracking systems offer a wide range of features designed to enhance your personal safety and keep your family protected.

Here are some of the ways that current car tracking technology can support you and your family:

• Emergency response: Services like Tracker Care include impact detection that immediately alerts the control centre if your vehicle is involved in an accident. They can even detect the severity of the accident. The control centre will attempt to contact you, and if you can’t be reached, emergency response teams will automatically be dispatched to your vehicle’s location, ensuring help arrives when you need it most.
• Emergency assist: These services also include an assist button to request roadside or medical emergency assistance, ensuring support is always within reach.
• Share your journey: One of the most valuable features of tracking systems is the ability to share your journey with a friend or loved one. By doing this, they can keep watch and check in should you deviate from the planned route or take too long to reach your destination. This is especially beneficial for when you’re travelling alone or driving in unfamiliar or unsafe areas.
• Vehicle monitoring: Today’s GPS/GSM vehicle tracking technology lets you personally monitor and proactively track your car’s location and status at any time via a smartphone app. You can check odometer readings, speed, and whether the car is stationary or moving. You can also add family vehicles equipped with tracking units to your profile, allowing you to check in on the safety of your loved ones.
• Proactive alerts: Premium services provide extra benefits, such as notifications for unauthorised vehicle movement and standard risk events, like battery disconnection. They can also alert you when your vehicle enters high-risk zones or leaves your chosen safe zone, adding an additional layer of security by warning you of possible threats.

When you choose a car tracker, you’re not only protecting your car.

You’re taking an important step toward protecting yourself and the people you care about.
