Differences between S7 and S5 Trackers

THATCHAM APPROVED S7 TRACKERS

The S7 Thatcham-approved tracker will soon permanently replace the CAT 6 Tracker. We are now nearly 3 years since the introduction of these new categories, so it will become rarer to hear the term CAT 6. However, if you do then you can rest assured that the S7 tracking device will be suitable (and the same thing). 

If you have an active CAT 6 tracker installed then this will still remain valid and active if your insurance policy is now requiring an S7.

They are the same level of service and GPS tracking technology, hence why some insurers have not yet changed the terminology for this category. 

THE S7 Tracker is the standard requirement for theft recovery security systems and is, therefore, the most commonly fitted tracking device. 

• 24/7 Control Room Monitoring

In the event of a theft, the fully staffed control room is trained to guide the police directly to the vehicle, using the advanced real-time tracking tech that is a standard feature of the S7 Tracker. 

• Global Coverage

Typically, once your vehicle is logged as stolen it will be recovered within minutes. However, just in case, the S7 Tracker has global coverage, so even if the thieves make it out of the country they'll still be found.

This also means that you can use your vehicle abroad with the same level of protection that your S7 Tracker offers you in the UK. 

• Motion Alert

Even if your vehicle is moved by thieves without the ignition starting, they won't get far. Any attempt to tow your vehicle will raise an instant alert in the control room.

S5 THATCHAM APPROVED TRACKER

The S5 Tracker has all of the benefits of an S7 with the addition of the below:

 ADR (Automatic Driver Recognition)

The Automatic Driver Recognition system is the most effective proactive alert against key theft/cloning.

As the owner of your vehicle, you are provided with a small ADR fob (and one spare) to identify you as an authorised driver.

This is just kept with you whenever you use your vehicle but does not attach to your car key. 

If your vehicle is moved, whether by starting the ignition with or without your key, and the fob is not present in the vehicle, a silent alert is instantly raised in the Control Room. 

The Control Room will quickly determine if a theft is taking place and work directly with the police to recover the vehicle.

This means, even if your car key is stolen or you are a victim of relay crime, the thieves will not get very far.
