Getting Started

Hardwired, Plug-In or Battery GPS Tracker?

Key takeaways

  • Hardwired trackers stay powered and are hard to find
  • Plug-in trackers are quick but easy to unplug
  • Battery trackers suit trailers and equipment
  • Where it is placed matters as much as which kind you pick

A tracker is only useful if it stays on, has a signal and is not found first. Power and placement decide all three.

Hardwired

Wired into the vehicle and tucked behind a panel. It stays powered and is hard to spot, which makes it the usual choice for fleets and theft protection.

Plug-in

Plugs into a port under the dash. It is quick and easy, and just as easy for someone to unplug.

Battery

Runs on its own cell, so it works on trailers, equipment and anything without power. You recharge or replace the battery now and then.

How to choose

Start with what you want to protect and how long you need it. We talk it through with you, then install and test on site.
