Stolen vehicle recovery
Majority of people in parking lot or just sitting at their home often think about their car security and have this dread feeling that is their car safely parked or is it been stolen. The other situation can be, the car is actually stolen and thereafter the car owner is just left with a question what’s now?
The police have little to go on, they will merely ask for the description of your car and its license plate number as a legal procedure. If you actually want your car back at that instance, it should have installed with a GPS car tracking system before it joins the list of vehicles stolen each year.
The GPS car tracking systems are the latest measure in the auto-security arena, which work on the basis of the Global Positioning System through which the precise location of the vehicle fitted with the GPS unit is transferred to a central computer network via the wireless cellular services. These signals are transferred on a regular basis, which makes it easy to pinpoint the exact location of the vehicle at any time.
GPS car tracking system or GPS vehicle recovery systems contain a GPS unit which is installed in car. This GPS unit has a SIM card in it to transmit the data to and from a monitoring center. There are technical limitations of GPS car tracking systems as they require clear signals from the satellites in order to locate the car’s location, it will not be able to locate if the car is in a concrete parking structure or anywhere that blocks the GPS signals. There are sometimes “dead spots” where cell phone service does not work.
There are options to choose from GPS car tracking systems depending on their price and technology of the car. For example, if the vehicle has an OBD port (On board Diagnostic), the plug & play GPS car tracking device can be used to eliminate wired installation. Alternatively, for vehicles without OBD port wired installation can be done.
