SmarTrack 5 is a Thatcham Category S5 certified vehicle tracking system widely used in the UK and Europe. It offers robust security and real‑time location monitoring and is often endorsed by insurers for stolen vehicle protection.

Key Features

Automatic Driver Recognition

You can verify the driver using either:

  • A physical driver-ID card (Bluetooth-enabled), or
  • The D-iD™ mobile app, which utilizes your smartphone instead of carrying a tag.

If the vehicle is moved without an authorised driver present, the control centre sends an alert.

Back-up Battery & Tamper Alerts

Includes built-in battery backup, allowing the device to function even if main vehicle power is cut. Sends instant alerts on battery disconnection or tampering.

Geofencing & Movement Detection

Set virtual zones and receive alerts when your vehicle enters or exits them. Alerts if the vehicle moves with ignition off.

App & Web Access

Track live location, view historical journey data, check battery status, set geofences and receive reports via the Global Telemetrics app or secure online account.

International Network Roaming

Supports roaming across networks to maintain signal quality even across Europe.

Durable Design

IP67-rated for water and dust resistance, built to survive harsh conditions.

Transferable Device

Can be reinstalled in another vehicle, making it useful for vehicle turnover or repurposing.

Optional

Optional Remote Immobilisation (S5+)

Certain variants (like the S5+) allow for an engine immobilisation function, remotely activated via the Secure Control Centre or at police request in theft situations.
