The Meta Trak S7 tracking system features category S7 insurance-approved tracking. Category S7 is a high level tracking system accredited by Thatcham and approved by all UK vehicle insurers.

See more information about tracking in the general features section.

The Meta Trak S7 vehicle tracking system can make use of Meta Trak’s wireless link architecture technology. This technology allows various Meta Trak hardware to seamlessly pair into your S7 system. For example, suppose at some point after the initial installation of your S7 ALS, you decide to add Meta Trak’s engine immobiliser to your S7 tracking system. In that case, this can be done via an over-the-air software reconfiguration.

The new engine immobiliser would need to be physically installed, but the engineer would not need to disrupt your initial installation by connecting your S7 tracker and the new engine immobiliser via hardwired connections. Your new Meta Trak engine immobiliser can be installed anywhere in the vehicle, after which it will be remotely paired with your existing S7 tracking system and communicate with it wirelessly.

Meta Trak’s Wireless Link Architecture technology makes upgrading any Meta Trak tacking system fast, easy, trouble-free, and cost-effective. It also allows for the most covert and secure installation possible by ensuring wire tracing between components is not possible.

The Meta Trak S7 tracking 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 a year. A journey begins when your vehicle's ignition switches on, the vehicle moves, and ends when the vehicle's ignition switches off. 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 your driving behaviour. You can easily view your scored journeys from 0-100 in the journey log, thanks to the system's built-in gyro and accelerometer.

The Meta Trak S7 tracking 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.

Should the position of your vehicle change while the ignition is off, such as if your vehicle is being towed, the system will send an alert to the secure operating centre. A team member will then call you to confirm the status of the vehicle. Additionally, a push notification alert of the event will be sent to you through the Meta Trak app.

If the battery of your vehicle 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 vehicle's battery falls below a pre-set threshold (11.6V) the system will send a push notification through to the Meta Trak app. You can also view and monitor your vehicle'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 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.

Of course, there are many more features included with the Meta Trak S7, please see further information in the ‘Key’ and ‘General’ features sections.

Yes, the Meta Trak S7 is recognised and accepted by all UK vehicle insurers as a Thatcham category S7 tracking system.

The Meta Trak S7 tracking system includes an industry leading lifetime parts and labour warranty.

• For the original owner only.

• A subscription must be active to make a claim.

A subscription is necessary for your Meta Trak S7 tracking system to operate. 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.
