What is a Cat 5 Tracker?
The quality of any vehicle or car tracking device is only as good as its installation. Unless installed correctly even the most sophisticated system could fail to protect your vehicle and may cause electrical/electronic systems to malfunction. All our engineers here at Tracker Fit are Thatcham Approved – giving you peace of mind that an expert is on the job.
Thatcham Cat 5 is the highest specification stolen vehicle tracking device that is approved by insurers. Cat 5 trackers are ideal for high performance and high-value vehicles, and when fitted correctly provide the owner with peace of mind that their vehicle is secure. Huge advancements in the technology and security on modern vehicles means they are much harder to steal, due to this there has been an alarming rise in the number of criminals turning their focus away from the car and onto the keys.
Thatcham are constantly working with the police and other partners to develop a range of technologies. One of which led to the introduction of the Thatcham Cat 5 Criteria for after theft recovery systems. This advanced system involves ‘Automatic Driver Recognition’ and vehicle immobilisation – which can only be authorised by UK Police under certain theft conditions.
A Cat 5 tracker device is one of a number of categories that Thatcham have defined as the highest Class of vehicle security tracking systems.
