I use Quartix
You can see yourself "live" from any PC
It also creates reports daily and I find it very useful
I paid no upfront costs and pay about 20 pounds a month per van.
Saves a lot on overtime

 All this van nicking is getting out of hand. I have a very good mate who does work for the police doing a lot of electrical work, he is a contractor with all necessary qualifications to fit Alarms, Hands free kits, trackers, Lights you name it he dose it. I was speaking to him on Friday about this van nicking and he had heard about it through the old bill. I have asked him for a price for a tracker and air time. I got a rough quote of around £200ish fitted + £120 a year air time. He said if i wanted he would approach the manufacturer and try and get discounts for so many orders so we  all could benefit. The thing that p*** me off, is all our premiums will go up as this is becoming quite common and insures will jump on it.

Tracker £170 fitted nationwide + £140.00 a year air time, Pill has 10 available. The system is monitored 24 hours a day for you also if your away you inform them and if it moves the get the police on to it straight away. Insurance approved so this should get  your premiums down.   sales@carextreme.co.uk

The difference between a Tracker and a GPS type system (such as Quartix) is that if a vehicle loses satellite lock, which it will do inside a garage, it becomes untraceable (though you will have a log of its position until it's put in there, but a van can cover quite a distance in a minute between fixes).  A Tracker, on the other hand, once switched on, will be trackable pretty much anywhere it ends up (even if it's put in to a shipping container, which used to be enough to block the signal in the early days, I believe).

I'm not saying one is better than the other, just pointing out the difference.

Hi Dave,

What do you use?

[Moderator David@stives]

I use Quartix

[Darranvps]

Same as me, I find it very good.

Quartix, Isn't that more for tracking staff and how long a van is in a certain location? How would the police track your vehicle say when your on your Holidays? and your a sole trader and your van is parked up for Two weeks? I like the idea phoning them up and telling them your van Isn't going to move, and when it dose the Police are on it straightaway.

With Quartix, you can set what they call a "geo-fence".  This is an area defined by you.  If your vehicle goes outside that area at certain times (that, again, you define), you get a text alert or email.

This is the proper tracker? Is that the Horizon, the one with GPS and VHF?

[Steve_c]

As far as i know yes.
