Stealth Tracer is designed to be a GPS asset locator that performs as an ‘interval tracker’. Interval tracking, often referred to as "sleeper" mode, is a feature of our GPS asset tracking device that allows it to remain dormant for set periods of time and only activate at predefined intervals to send location updates. This makes the device virtually undetectable by thieves using GPS scanning tools, as it emits no signal when in sleep mode. It also extends the battery life, compared to other battery-powered GPS trackers that need to be retrieved and recharged as often as every two weeks.

Interval tracking is when a device reports its location periodically per its configured intervals. In between its interval location updates, it 'sleeps', not emitting any GPS signal. It allows a small internal battery to last for a number of years & provides resistance to thieves trying to GPS wand your asset to find the device.

The device operates on a low-power, intermittent signal transmission basis. When in its 'sleep' state between its location reports, it does not emit any GPS signal, making it invisible to GPS scanning "wands" commonly used by thieves to locate trackers. It only emits a signal for under 1minute at the set intervals to transmit its location update, reducing the risk of detection.

The Stealth Tracer device comes pre-configured to report its location 2 times every 24hrs.

Yes, you can change the device's location reporting interval to report into the app: 1, 3, 4, or 6 times per 24hrs. Please remember that increasing the frequency reduces the battery life of your device.

No, the Stealth Tracer is designed to be self-installed. It's an easy, wire-free installation as the device is battery powered. It only requires you to covertly fit the device in your asset, while ensuring the device can still get GPS signal. For further information on installation, please see our digital user guide.

Yes, your device will come with two types of sticky pads & 2x heavy duty releasable cable ties. We recommend you use both where possible.

Yes, you can reassign the asset within the app & move it to any asset you wish to protect. You can purchase additional fixings to do this on our shop.

We currently don't yet offer pro-fit, but you can contact any local auto electrician or garage to assist you with covertly hiding the unit by safely removing panels.

The Stealth Tracer device pairs to our iOS or Android mobile apps. You then simply switch on your device & follow the quick signup/pairing process.

No, the Stealth Tracer device will first report into your app within 24hrs of switching it on. It will always first report in at 9AM or 9PM per its factory configuration. Your app dashboard's map will show blank & update countdown times will be incorrect until the device first reports in its location. Please wait for your first push notification within 24hrs of switching the device on.

Yes, the Stealth Tracer app allows you to pair as many devices as you wish to your account. You will be able to view information about each individual device on the dashboard, along with a collective view on the all asset map.

No, once you have switched on the Stealth Tracer device as part of your initial device setup, the button on the front of the device cannot be used to switch it off. This is so you can't accidentally switch off the device when installing it into your asset or other accidental contact with the device. If you wish for your device to be fully disabled - please use our support page form to make the request.

Our device uses advanced GPS technology to provide location accuracy within a few meters.

In certain locations, such as underground car parks or in certain types of building structures, your device may be unable to transmit its location until it is next able to lock onto a satellite and/or regain cellular coverage. This is a common characteristic of all tracking devices that rely on GPS.

The Stealth Tracer uses a global roaming sim card that allows it to connect to any network. However, there will be instances where the device won't be able to get a cellular connection. Network coverage in certain areas can be unpredictable & the device only has a certain window to quickly get signal when it wakes up to report its location before going back to sleep in its undetectable state.

Your device can report exactly on the minute you configured it to. But it sometimes may take an extra 1-5mins to transmit its GPS location fix in low signal/high network traffic areas. The report times being slightly varied also aids us to be less predictable to thieves!

Yes, it is IP67 rated. An IP67 rating means a device is completely dust-tight and can withstand immersion in water for up to 30 minutes at a depth of up to 1 meter.

Yes, the app is free to download & there is no subscription required to use Stealth Tracer.

The battery life depends on the tracking interval you select. For example, if the device is set to update every 12 hours as per our factory configuration, the battery can last between 24-26 months. If you configure your device to report more frequently, the battery life will be shorter. Please refer to the table in the full digital user guide which will inform you of expected battery life for higher frequency location reports. Please remember if you change away from the factory interval, you'll lose the 2 year battery life warranty.

Yes, as with all batteries, their performance can be affected by the environmental conditions (high/low temperature, humidity etc..). This means all our expected battery life figures are estimations based on average environmental conditions.

Yes it does, our device & monitoring/recovery service is Thatcham S7 certified.
