Vehicle tracking and stolen vehicle recovery have developed quite a lot over the years, and there’s room for them to evolve even more. If you're curious as to what the future will bring, keep reading as we take a dive into the next chapter of vehicle tracking and SVR.
The future of GPS tracking is moving to more intelligent, accurate and efficient monitoring. It’s moving beyond simple vehicle tracking and evolving into driver & vehicle behaviour monitoring.
The advantages of a vehicle tracking system are:
The disadvantages of a vehicle tracking system are:
No, Cartrack does NOT pay for stolen cars in South Africa. Our main priority is tracking and recovering your vehicles.
Cartrack is definitely one of the best car tracking companies around because we have some of the best tech available, and we have an unmatched recovery rate!
GPS won’t be replaced by AI but rather enhanced by it. AI will be able to provide:
Yes, car thieves do try to locate and remove tracking devices. This is why at Cartrack we install your tracking device in a discreet place where not even you as the car owner know where it is. We also have backup devices like the Cartrack Tag that will keep your car traceable even if your main tracking device is removed.
Car thefts are common throughout the year, so it’s difficult to pinpoint a specific time of the year when the most thefts occur. But according to data, car theft declines in December, and this is simply because there’s less predictability on the roads because so many people are not sticking to their daily commutes.
Yes, you should still track your old car. Many cars are stolen for their parts, and if you have a car that has original rare parts, it could be a target of theft.
EVs are changing the way cars are stolen. EVs have to be digitally hacked and can't be hotwired like a traditional car would. They're also more difficult to steal, and rely on charging stations, which makes them less desirable to thieves.
With Cartrack you can track your car if it's taken across the border. Our units have international roaming so we can track your vehicle locally and globally!
The latest technology for tracking and stolen vehicle recovery uses a combination of GPS/GSM tracking and AI-powered analytics, smarter anti-jamming tech, and IoT-enabled & more intelligent alert tools. These all work together to prevent theft from happening and, if it does happen, make recovery easier and faster.
No, self-tracking like an AirTag isn't as good as a professional service. That’s because a tool like an AirTag solely relies on Bluetooth and the Apple Find My network, whereas professional tracking devices use GPS/GSM tech. Another major difference is that professionals like Cartrack have a dedicated recovery team to go out and get your vehicle for you!
