About the SmarTrack S5 Tracker
The SmarTrack S5 Tracker is one of the UK’s leading insurance-approved vehicle trackers, designed for drivers who want the highest level of theft protection. It uses encrypted driver-recognition tags to verify who’s behind the wheel – if the tag isn’t detected, the control room is instantly alerted. This makes it especially effective against key cloning, relay theft and unauthorised use. Combined with live GPS tracking, backup battery power and 24/7 control-room monitoring, the S5 offers serious peace of mind for high-end vehicle owners.

FAQs about SmarTrack S5 Tracker
What does ‘S5’ mean in the SmarTrack S5 Tracker?
‘S5’ is the highest Thatcham-approved category for insurance-approved vehicle trackers. It means the tracker includes driver-recognition technology and meets strict UK standards for theft prevention and recovery. In short, if someone tries to drive your vehicle without an authorised tag, the system alerts the monitoring centre immediately.
How much are vehicle trackers like this one?
A professionally fitted live vehicle tracker like the SmarTrack S5 typically starts from around £379 including installation, with an annual subscription for monitoring. While cheaper, self-fit devices exist, they don’t include 24/7 control-room protection or insurance approval – making the S5 far more reliable if theft occurs.
What does GLONASS mean?
GLONASS is Russia’s version of GPS. The SmarTrack S5 uses both GPS and GLONASS satellites for more accurate and reliable coverage, especially in built-up or remote areas. That dual-system technology helps locate your vehicle faster if it’s stolen or moved without permission.
How does the SmarTrack S5 Tracker prevent theft?
This is a GPS tracker for vehicle theft that combines live location tracking with driver ID tags. If someone tries to start or move your car without the tag nearby, it immediately triggers an alert to you and the control room, which can work directly with police recovery teams.
What’s the difference between the S5 and S7 trackers?
The S7 provides monitored GPS tracking but doesn’t include driver-recognition tags. The S5 adds an extra layer of security – verifying the driver before the vehicle can be used. This makes it ideal for keyless or high-value cars targeted by relay thefts.
Does the tracker still work if the power is cut?
Yes, the SmarTrack Tracker has an internal backup battery that activates automatically if the main power is disconnected, so tracking continues even in a theft attempt.
