The Best Caravan Trackers
With the British summer hopefully just around the corner, thoughts turn to holidays, time off work and a couple of weeks spent stress-free with the family. For those of you who enjoy a caravan holiday, that stress doesn’t always disappear completely.
When it comes to protecting your valuable caravan, having a reliable tracker is just as essential a piece of kit as a suitcase and sun lotion.
A caravan tracker not only enhances the security of your vehicle but also provides peace of mind knowing that you can locate it quickly if it’s ever stolen.
In this blog, we will explore three of the best caravan trackers available to you. Each of these trackers offers a unique set of features designed to keep your caravan safe and secure and these are just three of the incredible systems available in our store designed specifically to secure your home on wheels.
MetaTrak S7 Caravan Tracker
Let’s start big! Not by the size of the caravan, but by the latest and most advanced tracker you can currently buy, the MetaTrak S7 Caravan Tracker.
This incredible piece of kit uses state-of-the-art GPS technology to provide accurate real-time tracking. This means you can monitor the exact location of your caravan at any time, from anywhere thanks to its dedicated app.
In addition, by using its 2x ID tags, the system can also differentiate whether the camera is being towed by you, or someone with less than honest intentions. Something that’s historically been a problem with a lot of other tracking systems.
If your caravan is moved without authorisation, you will receive instant notifications via SMS, email, or app notifications. This prompt alert system allows for quick action, potentially preventing theft.
The Geo-Fencing feature allows you to set virtual boundaries for your caravan. If your vehicle crosses these pre-defined boundaries, you will be notified immediately. This is particularly useful for ensuring that your caravan remains within a designated area, like a caravan park or even stored out of season.
Of course, the joy of a caravan is its independence. As such, the MetaTrak S7 comes with a built-in battery backup, ensuring that it remains operational even if the main power supply is disconnected. This feature is crucial in situations where thieves attempt to disable the tracker by cutting the power.
With comprehensive nationwide coverage, the Meta Caravan Tracker ensures that your vehicle can be tracked anywhere within the UK. This extensive coverage provides peace of mind, knowing that your caravan is protected no matter where you travel. You really can’t go wrong with this amazing tracker.
ScorpionTrack S7 Caravan Defender
Whilst the previous tracker is great, the ScorpionTrack S7 Caravan Tracker is no slouch either.\
It’s Thatcham-approved, which means it meets the highest standards for vehicle security. This tells you a lot about the device itself, but this industry approval can also often help in reducing insurance premiums, adding an extra layer of financial benefit.
With 24/7 monitoring services, the ScorpionTrack S7 ensures that your caravan is always under watch. Any unauthorised movement triggers an alert to the monitoring centre, where operators can take immediate action.
The tracker is also equipped with advanced motion-sensing technology. It comes includes a switch, with an optional security key, which will arm/disarm the tracker. If triggered, an alert will be sent to the 24/7 Control Centre should your caravan be moved when the system is armed.
If any unusual movement is detected, the system will alert you instantly. This feature is particularly useful for detecting potential theft attempts before they happen.
Like any modern vehicle security system, the ScorpionTrack S7 offers seamless integration with mobile apps, allowing you to monitor your caravan directly from your smartphone.
Even if you’re not particularly tech-savvy, the app provides a user-friendly interface for tracking, alerts and configuring settings.
Whilst this technology might be new to us, it’s not to the team at ScorpionTrack. They have been providing vehicle security since 1973 and the S7 Defender has been designed and manufactured in the UK to Police Preferred Specification so you know you’re in safe hands.
SmarTrack S7 Caravan Protector
Last, but by no means least is the S7 Caravan Protector from SmarTrack. This device is approved by many insurance companies, potentially helping you to reduce insurance costs. Its approval signifies that it meets stringent security standards as highlighted by its S7 nomenclature.
Unlike many other trackers that only offer national coverage, the SmarTrack S7 provides global tracking capabilities so if you’re off travelling around Europe, or even further afield this summer this is ideal for you and your caravan.
This is especially useful as the tracker also records the journey history of your caravan, allowing you to review past trips. This feature can be useful for keeping track of travel routes and ensuring that the caravan has not been moved without your knowledge.
The SmarTrack S7 offers multiple types of alerts to give you peace of mind, including movement, low battery and tamper alerts. These comprehensive alert options ensure that you are always informed about the status of your caravan.
The SmarTrack S7 Caravan Defender has been highly rated for its advanced features, particularly the global coverage. Many of customers appreciate the peace of mind that comes with knowing their caravan is protected not just within the UK but anywhere in the world.
