Take a look at WWW.mtrackonline.co.UK there is a annual fee, its self powered, but you get a better service with trackers with a annual fee, this alarms on movement, which could be simply opening the door, no wires to trace, also self fitted.

Some insurance companys sometimes only approve certain trackers,trouble with some they are totally regulated by yourself, if my pride and joy was being stolen I know I would have support from mtrack,regardless of the time of day or night.

THe only worry that I might have is that the GPS/GSM trackers can be blocked by devices that can be bought off Ebay.  I might be tempted to go for 'Tracker' which can't be blocked and is the one that police cars can track from their cars.

Go with what your insurers approve, if you personally feel that you want additional backup you could always install a secondary system such as installing a Phantom System with a Tracker system. If you store at home it is worth getting good quality security posts to slow any thieves down and with luck your tracking system will be an ornament.

The problem with tracker is the fact that the police can (or should I say could) track from their car, the police have a get-out saying "sorry sir the thieves must have disabled your tracker"


Because the tracking of Phantom is done by the company and the police notified of the whereabouts of a stolen van, the police have to respond.

If you have Tracker monitor fitted with a one off lifetime cost, then the company also notify the police if the caravan is moved. Initially they contact you, same as Phantom, and if it si nto you they then contact the police.

After the police is contacted who does the tracking?
