Vehicle Tracking Thetford

Vehicle Tracking Thetford Norfolk (IP24): Vehicle tracking allows businesses in Thetford that run a fleet of cars, vans or other vehicles to manage and locate their fleet in an instant. It provides transport and logistics managers a solution to improve day to day operations and make the most efficient use of their vehicles with real time operation and control. For individuals in Thetford, a vehicle tracking system can be used to notify a car or motorbike owner if their vehicle has been stolen, or can be used to check the location of a shared car to keep your family safe.

HOW DOES VEHICLE TRACKING WORK?

Active vehicle tracking uses a variety of methods to locate and pass information about the location and movement history of the vehicle to which it is attached. Location, speed and direction can be monitored using a GPS device which links to a remote monitoring station via mobile network or radio transmission.

If a mobile network (GSM) is used then either a SIM card subscription, or a subscribed monitoring service via a professional company is required. For those devices using a VHF transmission method, a transmission is sent via radio frequencies (RF) to a bespoke monitoring station, possibly via privately owned repeaters.

Passive tracking systems for your vehicles in Thetford require no permanent link to a monitoring station. These devices store the data within a memory chip and can be uploaded via a hard wire connection or through a recognised wifi link. Active tracking systems will also store data to a local storage device in case of poor signal quality or loss of connection via GPS or GSM signals. Once the signal is restored the live and stored data is uploaded to the monitoring service.

WHICH TYPE OF TRACKING SYSTEM IS BEST FOR YOU?

There are a multitude of tracking systems available on the market; smart applications for your phone, single vehicle tracking and recovery, multi vehicle monitoring, 24 hour monitoring from by a remote company...and the list goes on. Choosing the perfect tracking system for your vehicle in Thetford can be confusing, so let's look at some of the benefits of the most popular types of vehicle tracking equipment:

• Trailers can be tracked in conjunction with their cab and if they are separated a warning can be given.
• Crash and collision detection can be applied with software that monitors if a tracker comes to a sudden or unexpected stop. A voice or text message is then sent to the driver of the vehicle. If there is no response within a specified time, an emergency call is made to either the operations room or directly to the emergency services.
• Vehicle diagnostics can be monitored in real time with OBD II (On Board Diagnostic) devices which plug into the specialised plug and play interface found on nearly all modern vehicles.
