Consider a Tracking Device for Your Car Before Getting Lost

Posted by Tramigo GPS on September 28th, 2018

It’s prudent for fleet owners as well as private car owners to buy tracking devices for cars for security purposes. GPS trackers can keep you informed about the location of your vehicle at any given time. They play a major role in finding a lost car or even preventing such incidents from happening. Here's how GPS tracking devices for vehicles can help you.  

1.Send notifications when your car is disturbed 

The best tracking devices for cars have motion sensors that detect suspicious movements such as forced entry. These trackers can send alerts or notifications to the owner’s mobile phone immediately—there is no need to log on to a website or an application. You will receive the alert via SMS. That way, you have time to react before the intruder steals your car. 

2.Confirm if the threat is real or a false alarm 

Some trackers also have a remote listening function so that you can verify if the alert is real or not. This prevents unnecessary and impulsive decisions, such as reporting a false alarm to the police. 

3.Monitor your car while someone else is driving it 

Tracking devices for cars also let you monitor the driving habits of your family members or friends who are borrowing your car. You can instantly see if the driver is exceeding speed limits. In some GPS trackers, you can even set the speed limit as well as other thresholds to keep your mind at ease. 

4.Disable the engine when your car is stolen 

The first thing that you should do upon confirming the theft is to disable the engine—and you can do that through your GPS tracking system. Thieves won't easily get away even if they have the key, and the police can locate your car faster. The engine will only start once you enable the ignition again via your GPS tracking system. 

It’s important to really look at the features when buying a GPS tracker. Choose a unit that does more than tracking—you want something that also has monitoring capabilities. The good news is that reputable car accessory companies in the Philippines offer GPS trackers with advanced features. They can help you choose the right model that suits your needs.
