What Our Users Are Saying:
Very impressed by the simplicity of the service. Previous devices we've used have been overly complicated & expensive, that was not the case here. Immediately Luca was in contact with us - he set everything up for us and it all worked perfectly. We just plugged the tracker in and done!

“
I've been using the FM3001 to track my personal vehicle for several months now and it's been great. I've never had any issues, it's very accurate and reliable. This was the first car tracker I've purchased so I was a bit nervous, but Luca made everything so simple so there were no worries!

New to GPS Trackers?
Every ten minutes a vehicle is stolen in Australia. In the U.S., it's roughly 13 times that rate - to be fair, they have roughly 13 times the population.
More than 50% of all vehicles were stolen from a residence. Majority of which occurred between 4pm & midnight over the weekend.
What's worse is 35% of all thefts are never recovered.
However, 90% of cars with a GPS Tracker installed were recovered within a week. 80% of those were recovered in 24 hours.
As you can see, installing a tracking device is one of the simplest and most effective methods of protecting your car from theft.
In fact, many insurance companies will give discounts on your vehicle premiums just for having a GPS tracking device installed. That's because they understand that by having tracking devices the likelihood of vehicle recovery in the event of theft is much higher, therefore saving them money.
But I thought they were expensive and only for large companies?
This is a very common misconception.
Tracking devices have advanced a lot in the last few years, and now they're widely available and very affordable.
A large portion of our customer base is actually made up of individuals tracking their personal vehicles.
Whether that be for theft protection, monitoring their teenage kids, saving on fuel, tracking their vehicles travels, or any number of reasons.
So, how do GPS Trackers actually work?
Nearly all tracking devices use a SIM Card to transmit their data to their respective online tracking platform.
This data is then translated on the platform into an understandable format. In terms of the location, it's shown as a vehicle on Google Maps. In terms of alerts, they're shown as notifications on the Online Platform and App. You can see the time, date and location of the alert.
This is why there are always monthly costs associated with tracking devices. You need to pay for the data costs of the SIM, along with signing up for an Online Tracking Platform, unless you resort to using a free one which I do not recommend.
