Meta Trak S7 Caravan
The Meta Trak S7 Caravan tracking system is the industry's most advanced system, developed and specifically tailored for caravan applications. The system features automatic authorised towing recognition, enabled with the use of Meta Trak’s towing ID tags.
Criminals can bypass locks and physical barriers to access a caravan. Only a tracking device can improve the chances of recovery if this happens. The S7 Caravan solution does not require drilling into the internal cabinetry or bodywork to install, and there is no need to remember to flick a switch or turn a key before and after every journey. For those seeking proactive tracking, Meta Trak’s S7 Caravan solution provides constant connection to your caravan, real-time alerts, and battery voltage status.
When the caravan needs to be towed, the customer keeps the ID Tag with them in the tow vehicle. There is no need for them to remember to flick a switch to disable the system when they want to tow the caravan, unlike most other systems. Upon movement, if the tracking device does not detect the ID Tag, an alert will be sent within seconds to the owner and to Meta Trak’s control room.

Key Features
-
The Meta Trak S7 Caravan features category S7 insurance-approved tracking at its core. Category S7 is a high level tracking system accredited by Thatcham and approved by all UK vehicle insurers. The Meta Trak S7 Caravan's tracking capabilities include 24/7/365 professional theft monitoring and support, live tracking, journey logging, and towing behaviour scoring.
See more information about tracking in the general features section.

The Meta Trak S7 Caravan system features an ID tag for automatic authorised towing recognition. The ID tag is either attached to the tow vehicle's keys or carried on your person. When the tracking system detects motion, such as when the caravan is being towed, it will scan to find the ID tag. If the ID tag is found, the system recognises that an authorised person is towing the caravan. If the ID tag is not found after the system detects motion (such as unauthorised towing – theft), it will send an alert to Meta Trak’s secure operating centre within seconds. A member of the monitoring team will then contact you via phone to confirm whether or not a theft has taken place.
Unlike all other caravan tracking systems on the market that use a rocker switch or a turn-key switch for similar functionality, Meta Trak’s use of ID tags creates an automatic towing recognition system, making it unique in the industry. Fitting a rocker switch or turn-key style switch requires drilling of either the internal cabinetry or bodywork of the caravan, which is inconvenient for the installer and the customer. Additionally, the customer would need to manually operate it every time the caravan is to be towed, and then remember to switch it off again when the caravan is parked.
This process is cumbersome for installers, customers, and monitoring centres, often leading to false alerts due to customers forgetting to operate the rocker switch to enable manual towing recognition. With Meta Trak's caravan system and the use of their ID tag for automatic towing recognition, all these inconveniences are eliminated, providing a passive and simple solution for everyone involved.
Meta Trak’s ID tags use Bluetooth Low Energy technology to communicate with the system, and their battery life is approximately 12-18 months before replacement is needed.

General Features
-
The Meta Trak S7 Caravan system is monitored 24/7/365 via Meta Trak’s Secure Operating Centre. Meta Trak uses a National Security Inspectorate (NSI) approved centre for the professional handling of alerts and stolen vehicle tracking. This shows that the teams have relevant technical experience and are working to International, British Standards, and NSI Codes of Practice. Should your system generate any alert, personnel from the monitoring centre will call the number associated with your account immediately to confirm with you the status of the vehicle. If you confirm that your vehicle has been stolen, the team will liaise directly with police forces to provide them with live location data to recover your vehicle. This service is available throughout Europe.
-
With Meta Trak’s modern smartphone app, it has never been easier to track your vehicle's location in real-time. See your vehicle's last updated position as soon as you open the Meta Trak app or send a position request command to receive your vehicle's live position. Keep the Meta Trak app open to watch your vehicle's live movements with Google Maps integration.
-
The Meta Trak app will log all your journeys for up to a year. A journey begins when the system detects movement of the caravan by interpreting GPS data, it ends once movement stops. This journey log can then be accessed inside the Meta Trak app with Google Maps integration. In addition to logging your journeys, the system can also monitor and score how well you towed your caravan during your journey using the inbuilt inertial measurement unit. You can easily view your scored journeys from 0-100 in the journey log within the Meta Trak app..
-
The Meta Trak S7 Caravan system utilises a multi-frequency GNSS receiver, providing ultra-accurate and reliable positioning data from the GPS, GLONASS, and Galileo satellite constellations, offering greater resistance to jamming.
Assisted GPS helps the tracking device acquire satellites faster via an internet link rather than being processed onboard, improving accuracy, speed, and reliability. This feature allows for more flexibility in installation, as it enables the devices to be installed in areas of the vehicle that would otherwise have navigational performance constraints, again aiding the covertness of any installation.
GSM can also be used to triangulate the vehicle's whereabouts using cell-based positioning.
-
Meta Trak's telematics devices utilise the latest generation Quad Band modem and a globally roaming SIM to ensure an optimal network connection for communications. This type of connectivity allows the device to connect to multiple mobile networks at the same time, switching seamlessly between the strongest signal available in the device's location. Automatic switching from network to network enables reliable data transmission and reception, even in areas with poor signal from a specific mobile network provider.
-
If the battery on your caravan is disconnected or if power is lost to the tracking unit, the system will send an alert to the secure control room. In the event of power loss to the tracking unit, it will switch to its internal battery backup to ensure continuous operation. Additionally, a push notification alert of the event will be sent to the Meta Trak app.
-
If your caravan's battery falls below a pre-set threshold the system will send a push notification through to the Meta Trak app. You can also view and monitor your caravan's live battery voltage in the Meta Trak app.
-
The tracking device load on the battery is virtually undetectable, but the device is still always reachable, i.e., not in a deep sleep state.
Depending on your specific Meta Trak security system, the quiescent drain is miniscule, at between 1 and 4mA (0.004A). To put that into context, a 100Ah battery (at 80% usable capacity) would take 28 months to drain with a 4mA load.
-
Firmware over the air (FOTA) allows your security systems operating system to be updated over the air, allowing enhancements to be deployed to existing customers.
-
For customer peace of mind, Meta Trak's insurance-approved security systems are actively monitored to ensure correct operation. As part of Thatcham's criteria for 'Vehicle Tracking Systems', Meta Trak will monitor and respond to any problems with your system that are reported through the system's daily health report.

The main security advantage is –
1 - Thatcham and Insurance-approved Category S7 Stolen Vehicle Tracking
Category S7 trackers fall under Thatcham's Category S7: Vehicle Tracking Systems. Insurance companies require them to be installed on high-value vehicles prone to theft. S7 trackers provide round-the-clock monitoring, theft support and live tracking. The Meta Trak S7 Caravan however is a little different because this system includes automatic towing recognition, included normally only with category S5 tracking systems but called automatic driver recognition (the same technology). Although classed as a category S7 tracking system, the Meta Trak S7 Caravan operates more as a category S5 tracking system. Effectively giving you S5 features at an S7 price and subscription rate.
The most significant advantage of the Meta Trak S7 Caravan system is its automatic towing recognition feature which quickly alerts the monitoring centre of any unauthorised movements of the vehicle, such as during a theft.
If a caravan is stolen, the monitoring centre confirms the theft with the owner and professionally liaises with the police to assist with the vehicle's recovery, using direct links to police control rooms.
The Meta Trak S7 is a modern Thatcham and insurance-approved category S7 stolen vehicle tracking system.
The Meta Trak S7 vehicle tracking system includes the following main features -
1 - Thatcham and Insurance-approved Category S7 Stolen Vehicle Tracking
Meta Trak’s S7 falls under Thatcham's Category S7: Vehicle Tracking Systems. Insurance companies often require customers to install them to lower value but still theft-prone vehicles. S7 trackers provide round-the-clock monitoring, professional theft support, live tracking, and more.
In a potential theft situation, your Meta Trak S7 system may automatically alert Meta Trak’s secure monitoring centre but more often the vehicle owner will need to report the theft via phone to Meta Trak to trigger a theft support response. Once you have reported a theft to Meta Trak’s monitoring team they will liaise with the police to assist with the vehicle's recovery using data from your S7 tracking system and communicate this through a direct link to police control rooms.

The Meta Trak S7 Caravan differs from the regular Meta Trak S7 due to its automatic towing recognition feature. This means that the S7 Caravan operates more like a category S5 tracking system. It can detect whether an authorised person is towing your caravan or not. It uses Meta Trak's ID tags to do this. When the system detects that the caravan has started moving, it scans to find the ID tag. If the ID tag is found, the system knows that an authorised person is towing the vehicle, after all, only you have access to the ID tag as it’s normally kept on your tow vehicle’s keys. If the system does not find the ID tag upon vehicle movement, an alert is sent to Meta Trak's secure operating centre. Shortly after, you will receive a phone call from a member of the monitoring team to establish whether a theft may have taken place.
This differs from the normal Meta Trak S7 tracking system, which does not feature any form of automatic authorised towing recognition. If your caravan is stolen, you need to realise that fact and then call Meta Trak’s monitoring team to report the theft and to receive professional theft support. The reason for this is that without any form of towing recognition, the Meta Trak S7 does not know if it's you or a thief that’s towing the caravan, this is solved however with the Meta Trak S7 Caravan with the use of an ID tag. Now the system can check whether or not the person towing the caravan has an ID tag to determine whether or not it's an authorised person towing or whether the movement is unauthorised (towing without the ID tag). With the Meta Trak S7 Caravan, if your caravan is subject to unauthorised movement, the system will automatically alert Meta Trak’s secure operating centre if an ID tag is not detected.
In summary, the Meta Trak S7 Caravan is a more advanced tracking system developed specifically for caravan and towed vehicle applications. It automatically alerts you to unauthorised movement of your caravan using Meta Trak’s ID tags and its automatic towing recognition technology. Potential theft events are proactively monitored and alerted, prompting a rapid response from a monitoring team member to deliver professional theft support using a direct line into the police control room for recovery efforts.

Your Meta Trak S7 Caravan tracking system requires a subscription simply to operate correctly and communication data.
A subscription is necessary for the operation of the system/hardware. All telematics products (tracking systems) incur costs as they transmit data and communicate over the mobile network.
Airtime:
Think of a tracking system as like a mobile phone and its airtime plan; you pay for the handset/tracking device, as well as for the data that the handset/tracking device transmits over the mobile network to the network providers.
In our case, your subscription pays the network providers to carry your tracking system's data across their network. Your subscription is slightly more expensive than a normal airtime plan. However, a modern tracking system usually utilizes multi-roaming, so it transmits data over the network provider with the best connection in a given area. Your tracking device is not tied to a single network provider.
Theft Monitoring:
When you subscribe to a tracking system, you are paying for the 'airtime' for your hardware to use the mobile network to transmit data, as well as for 24/7/365 theft monitoring.
If your tracking system is Thatcham-approved (Insurance-approved), it will include 24/7/365 theft monitoring as standard. The subscription costs for these types of products are higher than for a device that is simply used to transmit location data, such as a fleet or self-monitored type of product.
Your subscription cost covers both the cost of 'airtime' and a professional theft support service. This theft support service is available 24 hours a day to notify you of the potential theft of your vehicle.
In the event of an alert being generated by your vehicle tracking system, it is sent to the monitoring centre. Personnel at the monitoring centre are then notified on screen of the alert, and all alerts are responded to by a telephone call to the vehicle owner/driver. If a theft is confirmed, monitoring centre personnel will use direct lines into police control rooms to coordinate the recovery of your vehicle.
Summary:
As you can see, the professional theft monitoring service included with Thatcham/Insurance-approved tracking systems commands a higher subscription price compared to ordinary tracking devices used solely for locational purposes.
A professional theft support service is mandatory for a tracking system to be accredited as a Thatcham category S7 or S5 product. Both categories are used by vehicle insurers to lower their risk concerning vehicle crime and are also known as insurance-approved vehicle tracking systems.
