Vehicle theft has always been an issue all over the world. Car manufacturers keep improving the built-in security measures over the decades but experienced criminals always find a way to get around these safeguards and manage to steal vehicles. The newer car owners also have to worry about the keyless crime wave targeting the vehicles with keyless entry and ignition systems. With all the security concerns and tech-savvy criminals, people have a right to be worried about the security of their vehicle. However, modern technology doesn't only help criminals to steal cars; vehicle tracking devices can boost the security of a vehicle and protect it from theft attempts with their advanced features.
GPS tracking technology has vastly advanced over the years. Tech firms have been developing GPS-based applications and devices to protect people, assets and vehicles. Among these, vehicle tracking systems have become one of the most effective security systems that people can use to ensure their vehicle's security. Vehicle tracking devices are equipped with sophisticated features such as geofence zones, remote immobilization, motion sensor, event alerts and live tracking. GPS tracking systems have a solution for every possible scenario.
Geofence zones are virtual boundaries that people with access to the tracking device can use to create around a specific location on the map. These perimeters act as a safe zone and the tracking device sends an alert in case of any breaches. Geofence zones are an excellent way to keep an eye on the movements on your vehicle when they are stationary for extended periods of time. Thieves tend to act when vehicles are parked for the night or when people leave their vehicles unguarded in an office parking lot. Should the worst happen and a criminal steals your car, the vehicle tracker will notify you as soon as it leaves the preset geofence zone. This way, you can alert the local law enforcement agencies and have them recover your car by tracking its location and relaying it to the police officers.
Sensors also act as an alarm system and they are very sensitive. Motion sensor, tamper alert and ignition sensors notify the owner when activated and detect a sudden movement, tamper attempt or if someone turns the engine on without authorization. In these cases, car owners can once again call the police and may even stop a theft from happening.
