Camtrack Thatcham S5 Tracker
Insurer-preferred S5 protection with ADR driver-ID tags that stop relay theft, supplied, fitted at your location and monitored 24/7. The right choice for £30k–£50k and high-theft models.
In stock
24/7 UK monitoring subscription from £180/year required (set up on the day). Includes your insurer certificate of installation.
How the S5 protects your car
Carry the tag with you. If the car moves without it, the monitoring centre is alerted instantly, beating relay and key-cloning attacks.
Pinpoint location around the clock, with tow-away and tilt sensors that trigger if the car is lifted or moved.
A secure operating centre confirms the theft and works directly with police to recover your vehicle fast.
Fitted at your home or work across West Yorkshire on a fitting date chosen by you.
Specification
Most people buy an S5 because their insurer asked
An S7 covers monitored tracking and recovery. The S5 adds automatic driver recognition, which is what insurers increasingly want on higher-value cars, vans, motorhomes and business vehicles.
Check the exact wording on your policy first
Insurers word this differently, and the difference matters — fitting the wrong category can get a theft claim refused. If any of these appear in what they've sent you, this is the product they mean:
If they've asked for S5 with immobilisation, you need the S5+ instead. If they've only asked for S7, the standard tracker will satisfy them for less.
S5 or S7 — the difference is driver recognition
An S7 tracker is monitored tracking and recovery: useful once a car has gone. The S5 adds an ADR tag that tells the system whether an authorised driver is present.
Move the vehicle without the tag and an alert goes to the call centre. That's the bit that catches relay and key-cloning theft, and the reason insurers name S5 on higher-value vehicles.
This one doesn't immobilise
Worth being plain about: the S5 gives you driver recognition, monitored tracking, app and web access — but it can't stop the engine restarting during a theft.
If your insurer asked for immobilisation, or you want that extra barrier, the S5+ is the one you want. Don't buy this page's product and hope it counts.
See the S5+ with immobilisationA cheap GPS tracker isn't the same thing
A £40 device shows a dot on a map. It isn't Thatcham certified, nobody is watching it at 3am, and no police force will act on it the way they act on a call from a monitoring centre.
If your insurer has specified S5, a self-fit GPS unit almost certainly won't satisfy them — and you'd find that out at claim time.
Why professional fitting matters
Badly hidden kit is kit a thief can find and pull out. The tracker needs to go in discreetly, wired to the right connection points, not tucked under a seat.
Craig fits it himself, then sets up your app, your web login and your subscription before he leaves — so it's live and you know how to use it from day one, across Leeds, Bradford, Wakefield, Huddersfield, Halifax and the surrounding areas.
Not certain which category your policy needs? Call 07973 273721 and read us the wording — we'd rather put you on the right one than sell you the wrong one.
The part that gets your car back
The tracker in your car is only half the job. Monitoring is the 24/7 UK control room watching it, and it's what turns an alert into a recovered vehicle. Insurers require it to be active for your S5 approval to count.
A secure operating centre, staffed around the clock, every day of the year. Not an app notification you might sleep through.
If your tag is missing or the car is moved without it, they call you first to rule out a false alarm, then escalate.
The control room liaises with police forces directly, passing live location as your vehicle moves. That's the difference between a crime number and your car back.
Monitoring terms
For reference — you choose your term in the order form at the top of this page, and it's added to your total there.
Set up on the day of fitting. We'll remind you before it renews — no auto-renewal traps.
What the order form asks for, and why
A tracker isn't a box we post you — it's a fitted, insurer-registered device. The few extra questions at checkout are what let us turn up prepared and get your paperwork right first time.
Your tracker needs an active subscription for the control room to respond, and for your insurer to accept the S5 approval. 1 year, 3 years or lifetime — the longer the term, the better the value.
We fit at your home or work, so we're working around one van and real traffic. Giving us three options means we can almost always confirm one of them straight away instead of going back and forth.
Optional upgrade. Lets the control room stop the engine restarting once the vehicle is stationary during a confirmed theft. Some insurers ask for it specifically — if yours has, choose it here.
The ADR tag that tells the system it's you driving. One is included; add a second if someone else drives the car regularly, or it'll flag their trips as unauthorised.
Every vehicle wires differently. Knowing what we're fitting to means we arrive with the right loom and mounting, and it's what goes on your certificate of installation for the insurer.
Keyless cars are the relay-theft targets, so we set the system up differently. And we need to know where the car will actually be on the day if that's not your billing address.
Not sure on any of it — especially whether your insurer wants immobilisation? Call 07973 273721 before you order and we'll set it up correctly with you.
