What is a category S5 tracker? ›

Category S5 Trackers

A Category S5 offers Automatic Driver Recognition and all Cat S5 trackers utilise a Driver ID tag. If someone without the tag on their keys tries to move the car, an alarm triggers. Category S5 trackers are considered a more advanced option versus Category S7.

S7 trackers are not only approved by all leading insurance companies but in most cases, they can help you reduce your insurance premiums. Offering peace of mind at an affordable price point, S7 trackers are the ideal solution for car owners looking for added security.

Category S5 and Category S7 vehicle trackers are similar in that they both have motion detectors, GPS capabilities, and 24/7 monitoring. However, the S5 also comes with driver ID tags, adding an extra security layer.

The main way in which the S5 Plus differs from the S5 is the driver ID immobilisation feature. In short, each authorised driver is issued a unique fob which allows them to start the vehicle.

Typically you would select a CAT 5 car tracker for high-value and luxury vehicles. However, they are compatible with any vehicle and may be recommended for areas with a particularly high car crime rate. S5 trackers are the newest categorisation and provide the same level of features and protection as the CAT5.
