The ScorpionTrack S5 (also known as the S5-VTS) is an industry-leading, top-tier GPS vehicle tracking system designed to meet strict insurance mandates. Representing one of the highest levels of vehicle security available, the S5 category specifically targets advanced theft methods like relay attacks, key cloning, and keyless vehicle hacking.

The critical upgrade that differentiates the S5 system from standard trackers (like the S7) is the inclusion of Automatic Driver Recognition (ADR).

• How it works: Every time the vehicle is driven, the tracker automatically scans for the presence of a valid ADR tag.Specialist Trackers UK

• Instant Theft Detection: If the vehicle is started or moved without a registered tag being present (even if the thief has cloned your key or hacked your keyless system), the tracker instantly triggers a silent alert to the 24/7 control center.Specialist Trackers UK

• Smartphone Integration: The system supports "Phone Tag," allowing you to use your smartphone's Bluetooth via the ScorpionTrack app as a virtual driver recognition tag.Specialist Trackers UK

🔒 24/7/365 Professional Monitoring & Police Liaison

Backed by a fully staffed, UK-based emergency response center, the tracker is monitored around the clock. If an unauthorized movement alert is triggered, operators call you immediately to confirm if a theft is in progress. Upon confirmation, they interface directly with local police control rooms across the UK and Europe, feeding live speed, direction, and location data to secure a rapid recovery.
