Usb powered tracker (1 Viewer)

[ericonabike]

I have a Phantom tracker on my 2017 Bailey, which is needed due to insurance requirements. From reading reports of stolen mohos, it seems they are easily located and ripped out by thieves. So I wondered if an additional tracker, powered by a USB off the Leisure battery, would be helpful. I have the ideal location for one in the locker where I keep my mifi router. Anyone know if this is feasible/practical?

I have one of these hidden on my motorcycle, you will need to buy a sim card to install into it, I have a M2M sim which works on all networks in many countries £3.60/month.

Yes Rewire I think they're called do a tracke that only transmits a million second up to 8 times a day, so you can leave it set on once a day then if it's stolen, after a day or so, ask them to change the number if times it transmits so you can hopefully locate it.

The chances of anyone trying to find a tracker at exactly the same 'milli second' as it transmits is unlikely, so they won't know it's there!

Most insurance approved trackers have to be professionally installed.

I set mine to transmit location every 5 minutes but you can set it at what you want by sending it a text message. It also powers off totally 20 minutes after the ignition goes off but the location stays on the map

I suppose that’s the last sent gps, until the ignition powers on again then it sends new data?

Yes starts sending again every 5 minutes, network data lasts forever

If you set the tracker to go to sleep when it's not moved you will spend a lot less than £3 a month.

Thanks all. Looking on another Web site, seems these can all be scanned and location detected when vehicle is moving (and so they are transmitting) —is this correct?

Any product that is in communication with the mobile telephone network will be detected with the right equipment.

which is why the Rewire Asset Tracker seems to be worth considering ...... i think the latest is AT100

It does go to sleep when not moved, however I am quite happy paying a fixed price for a sim that works throughout Europe and some other countries on every network without user intervention, the only thing that needs to be done is to set up the APN by sms when you first install the sim and that's it, fit and forget, the battery in the gps stays charged for a couple of months or you rig it up to a USB charger in situ. If you know of an equivalent sim card at a cheaper price I'd be happy to check it out.

I know, I've got one but my £5 top up lasts for months, Giff gaff payg sim. I've been to Spain and Portugal works perfectly with no interventions.

Yes and as above mine runs on a gift gaff sim
