Hardwired vs Plug-In Trackers

Plug-in trackers are easy but easy to unplug. Hardwired trackers stay powered and are hard to find. Battery trackers work anywhere. We help you choose based on what you need to protect and how long you need it.

Use trackers responsibly

Use a tracker only on vehicles you own or have the legal right to monitor, and tell drivers, family members and renters. A tracker should never be used to follow someone who has not agreed. We cannot give legal advice, so ask an attorney if you are unsure.
