Vehicle Trackers

Vehicle trackers deliver real-time location, route history, and smart alerts to help protect cars, vans, and fleets. Using GPS + 4G/LTE, these car GPS trackers show where a vehicle is right now, where it’s been, and how it’s being driven—ideal for theft recovery, driver accountability, mileage logging, and business fleet management. Choose from plug-and-play OBD trackers, hardwired GPS units for 24/7 power, and magnetic, battery-powered trackers for fast, no-tools installs.

At SpyGear Direct, we curate GPS vehicle trackers for accuracy, app reliability, and battery life. Features include live tracking, geofencing, movement/tamper alerts, trip reports, driver-behaviour insights (speeding, harsh braking), and multi-network SIMs for dependable coverage. Whether you need a single car tracker or a scalable fleet tracking solution, our devices are built for clarity and control.

Why choose a GPS vehicle tracker?

  • Real-time location for theft prevention and recovery.
  • Geofence alerts when vehicles enter/leave set areas.
  • Trip & mileage reports for expenses and compliance.
  • Driver behaviour data to improve safety and fuel costs.
  • Flexible power: OBD, hardwired, or long-life magnetic units.

Key features to compare

  • Update rate (e.g., every 5–30s) and historical storage.
  • GNSS support (GPS/GLONASS/Galileo) for accuracy & fast lock.
  • Connectivity: 4G/LTE (with 2G/3G fallback), multi-network SIM.
  • Power: OBD plug-in, ignition-sense hardwire, or 10–20k mAh battery.
  • Sensors: accelerometer, tow/tamper detect, low-battery alerts.
  • Platform: mobile/desktop app, multi-user roles, exportable reports.
  • IP rating & magnets for covert, weather-resistant installs.

Installation & best practices

  • OBD: plug under the dashboard; confirm clearance for knees.
  • Hardwired: tie into constant + ignition + ground; mount with clear sky view and secure wiring with fuses.
  • Magnetic/battery: mount to clean metal undercarriage (flat frame rail or cross-member), away from exhaust heat; test signal and route updates before deployment. Enable geofences, set speed/tow alerts, name vehicles clearly, and schedule automated reports for mileage and usage.

Responsible use

Vehicle tracking is legal when you own the vehicle or have proper consent/authority. Always follow privacy and employment laws, inform drivers where required, and use trackers for lawful purposes only.

Frequently asked questions
Q: What is a vehicle tracker and how does a car GPS tracker work?

A vehicle tracker uses GNSS (GPS/GLONASS/Galileo) plus cellular data (e.g., 4G/LTE) to send live location and alerts to an app or web portal.
Q: What’s the difference between OBD, hardwired, and magnetic GPS trackers?

OBD plugs into the diagnostic port for quick install; hardwired units draw 12V power for 24/7 use and ignition events; magnetic/battery trackers mount externally for tool-free, covert placement.
Q: How accurate are GPS vehicle trackers?

Typically 1–5 metres outdoors with a clear sky view. Urban canyons/garages may reduce precision; multi-constellation GNSS improves lock and accuracy.
Q: How often do live locations update (refresh rate)?

Commonly every 5–30 seconds when moving, with configurable intervals to balance detail vs battery/data use.
Q: Do I need a data plan or SIM card?

Yes for connected models—either a bundled plan or your own multi-network SIM. Some devices store trips offline and upload when signal returns.
Q: Will a tracker drain my car battery?

Quality units use sleep/low-power modes and ignition sensing. Hardwired installs should be fused and configured to avoid parasitic drain.
Q: Can I get alerts for speeding, towing, or leaving an area?

Yes—set speed, tilt/tow, geofence, ignition, tamper, and low-battery alerts in the app.
Q: Where should I place a magnetic tracker on a car?

On a flat, clean metal surface away from exhaust heat and moving parts—e.g., frame rails or cross-members. Test signal and route updates after mounting.
Q: Do vehicle trackers work indoors or in underground car parks?

GPS requires sky view; accuracy drops indoors/underground. The device may switch to cell-based location and buffer data until signal returns.
Q: Can I export trip history and mileage reports?

Most platforms support CSV/PDF exports, automated email reports, and IFTTT/API integrations on higher tiers.
