As a commuter on Mzansi’s roads, having a GPS tracker and a camera in your vehicle is a must. We have unpredictable roads, high crime rates, and taxi drivers that are practising to join Formula 1; that’s why having both a GPS tracking device and a camera is your best bet.
According to Top Auto, it’s estimated that approximately 85 vehicles are stolen daily across South Africa, proving that theft is a real concern for SA vehicle owners. Also, that number doesn't even take into account hijackings or break-ins, making vehicle safety measures necessary.
This is why more and more South Africans are looking into GPS trackers and cameras for their cars. It’s a double safety measure that not only shows you where your car is but also what’s happening in and around it, and with Cartrack we can give you both options at the same time!
You need a GPS tracker and a camera so that you have a comprehensive security setup for your car. A GPS tracker will help in the case of theft and recovery, whereas a camera provides visual proof of the events that happen in and around your car.
When buying a GPS tracker and a camera, you need to look for one that matches your needs. For GPS trackers some just provide basic tracking, whereas more advanced ones have live monitoring and a recovery support team. The best one will obviously be one that not only lets you know where your vehicle is but also protects it as well.
When buying a camera for your car, the most important feature is clarity no matter the lighting conditions. Having a camera with poor quality recording is pointless when you need evidence of a smash and grab or a hit and run. You need a camera that’ll give you quality footage at all times.
Here’s a table with the key features you should look out for when buying a GPS tracker and a camera:
The benefit of pairing a GPS tracker with a camera is the peace of mind it’ll provide you with. South Africans are constantly on edge when they’re on the roads, between the road rage and aggressive driving, to the smash-and-grab hotspots and the risk of hijackings. Knowing that you and your vehicle have a double layer of security is unmatched.
Another benefit of having a camera in your car is that it can assist in deterring thieves from stealing your car. But, when you have a GPS tracker as well, you know that even if they still take the risk, you’ll have a good chance of getting your car back!
If you have a family, a GPS tracker and a camera will enable you to keep a close eye on your family from anywhere! On top of that, you can capture memorable road trip moments that can preserve all these special moments for you to always have!
Finally, an added benefit is that you can possibly reduce your insurance premiums when you install an insurance-approved camera and GPS tracking device. The reason being that your car is fully protected 24/7. No matter where you’ve parked or where you drive to, there’s an added layer of protection, saving your insurance company on costs and ultimately lowering yours.
You should choose Cartrack for your GPS tracking and camera solution because we can provide you with the most important thing… reliability. You want a GPS tracking device and a camera that doesn’t fail when you need it the most.
In an emergency situation you want assistance to either recover your vehicle or get high-quality footage for the police in minutes. When you buy just any old tracking device or camera from one of those overseas shopping sites with deals that are way too good to be true, you’re getting what you pay for.
You want a camera that’ll give you footage you can actually use and a GPS tracker that comes from a provider that can actually go out and get your vehicle for you.
When you choose an unknown provider because you want to save costs, you end up spending more in the long run. An unreliable GPS tracker and camera will not only waste your money, but it’ll compromise your safety as well.
