If you own a theft-prone but lower-value vehicle, you may need to install an S7 tracker, which falls under Thatcham's Category S7: Asset Locating Systems. S7 trackers offer continuous monitoring and theft support, including live tracking.

The most significant advantage of S7 trackers is their 24/7 professional monitoring and theft support. While they may alert you to theft attempts, you may need to report the theft manually by contacting the monitoring centre in most cases. The monitoring centre will then handle the process of tracking and recovering your vehicle professionally on your behalf. The monitoring centre has direct links to the police control room and can quickly liaise and direct the police to your vehicle.

The convenience of keyless entry and start systems for drivers has led to new methods of vehicle theft. Unfortunately, thieves have found ways to exploit this technology, making it easy to steal vehicles in under 30 seconds.

This rise in keyless vehicle theft has prompted insurance companies to take action. Theft-prone vehicles of any value are often now required to have Thatcham approved vehicle tracking systems installed, protecting both insurers and customers from financial losses caused by vehicle theft. To ensure complete coverage, many insurers now stipulate that customers must fit as mandatory a Thatcham category S7 tracker to their vehicle.

Insurance-approved S7 trackers increase the security of your vehicle by utilising 24/7 professional monitoring and theft support. If a theft is confirmed by the vehicle owner, the monitoring centre initiates a recovery operation to track the stolen vehicle's location and relay this information to the police for assistance in recovering the vehicle. Without this type of technology fitted there would be a vanishingly slim chance of ever seeing the vehicle again.

However, while insurance-approved S7 trackers have benefits, they do not prevent vehicle theft. If your insurance company mandates the installation of a Thatcham S7 tracker but you desire to deter vehicle theft instead of solely having the capability of recovering a stolen vehicle, it is necessary to also install an immobiliser.

Take a look at our selection of combined tracker and immobiliser systems by clicking the button below. These systems feature an insurance-approved S7 or S5 tracker but pair this with an engine immobiliser for the prevention of theft.
