How do I know the tracker is working?
When your approved SmarTrack engineer installs your system of choice, they will commission your device via our commissioning app or the Global Telemetrics Commissioning desk. At this time, the app or Secure Control Centre team member will check the information provided by the device and confirm full operation of the SmarTrack tracker. The information will include battery voltage, battery back/up voltage, ignition key position (on or off) and its GPS position. With all of the latest models of SmarTrack tracking devices a free Android/Apple app is available to the customer to view locations.

If you have a CAT5/S5/SmarTrack Fleet/uTrack/Trident/Maxi/Caravan system installed you can have a full secure online account- this will show you your vehicle’s location on a virtual map. You will also have full fleet features including multiple Geofences, journey history and reports.

Can I keep the Driver Detection Card in my Wallet/Purse?
Yes as long as the Wallet/Purse is not RFID protected.
Can I put my Driver Detection Card onto my keys / do you do a keyring version?
The simple answer for this one is no, but we feel with good reason! With the increase of thefts and violent thefts including break ins, we wanted our detection cards to be a separate entity. If someone breaks into your house and steals your keys, because the card isn’t attached, the system will generate an alert to our Secure Control Centre and we will contact you immediately. This gives us a better chance of getting your car back quickly.
Can the police see my data?
We will never share data without permission from the owner, unless under a court order / court warrant from the police. Similarly, your app account can only be accessed by you and people you give access to. To have an account added for your vehicle to the app we will need your permission and the email of the person to add it to our system.
