Using a covert GPS tracking device to monitor movements of items such as vehicles or parcels is a cost-effective and reliable method of surveillance—particularly well-suited for long-term tracking.
Our GPS tracking enables you to monitor the movement of virtually any item and keep a log of the movement history. Most importantly, know where the item is stopping and the duration of these stops.
Our highly trained and professional detectives covertly install our small and discreet trackers underneath vehicles or inside items. The trackers can determine the location of an item with high levels of accuracy.
GPS Tracking – Our Devices
GPS tracking involves using satellite signals to pinpoint the location of a device or person in real-time. People commonly use it for navigation, monitoring movements, and tracking assets or individuals for security, logistics, or personal safety purposes.
GPS tracking for surveillance is a technique that employs Global Positioning System (GPS) technology to monitor and record movements. Can track a person, vehicle, or object. By attaching a GPS tracking device to a target, real-time location data is transmitted to our monitoring system. Allowing the user to continuously or periodically track the target’s whereabouts.
Private investigators, security agencies, and in some cases, employers widely use this technology for various surveillance purposes. They use it to track criminal suspects, monitor vehicles, and oversee the movements of individuals.
The advantages of GPS tracking for surveillance include its high level of accuracy, ease of use, and the ability to monitor subjects over vast distances. Often without their knowledge.
Our GPS tracking systems come with advanced features:
- Geofencing (which alerts users when a target enters or exits a predefined area).
- Historical data (which allows users to review past locations).
- Real-time alerts (which notify the user of significant movements or events).
While effective, the use of GPS tracking for surveillance raises important legal and ethical concerns, particularly regarding privacy. In the UK, the use of GPS tracking without consent is subject to strict regulations. We stay within legal guidelines at all times.
We use our devices to aid surveillance and improve its results. The devices provide 24/7 activity reports which you can download, save or print. You will also receive a case manager who can provide you with regular updates if you do not want to view the reports yourself.
In some situations, there may be a requirement for us to track physical items for theft or other scenarios. In these scenarios, we offer custom-built devices to fit your product if required.
If you are concerned that your car has been intercepted and a tracking device or other devices have been fitted to your car, we provide bug-sweeping services. We will find and remove these devices for you.
How does a vehicle tracker work?
A tracker is covertly installed underneath the vehicle. Once installed, you will receive a website link and a unique password to log in and access the vehicle’s movements 24/7.
Can I install the device myself?
No, unfortunately, you cannot fit the device yourself. The devices must be fit by a professional.
What information does the tracker provide me with?
The tracking device will provide you with a live view of the vehicle’s movements. This includes the date and time of the movements, the speed of the vehicle. Also details on the time of any stops and the duration of any stops.
