The ScorpionTrack Driver S5+ (S5-Plus) represents the absolute pinnacle of proactive vehicle security. It builds upon standard Thatcham Category S5 criteria by combining high-accuracy GPS tracking with advanced Automatic Driver Recognition (ADR) and a dual-layer engine immobilization system.

Designed and manufactured in the UK to Police Preferred Specification, the Driver S5+ is engineered specifically to counteract sophisticated modern theft methods, such as relay attacks, keyless hacking, OBD port tapping, and key cloning.

Key Features

🔑 Advanced Automatic Driver Recognition (ADR)

The system is supplied with discreet, encrypted ADR fobs that the driver keeps on their person.

• How it Works: The tracking unit automatically scans for the presence of the tag as soon as the vehicle is accessed. If the vehicle is moved or started without the authorized tag nearby, a silent alert is immediately dispatched to the 24/7 monitoring center—even if the thief is using your actual vehicle keys or a cloned signal.

• Virtual Smartphone Fob: To accommodate multiple drivers seamlessly, the user can configure the ScorpionTrack smartphone app to act as a virtual driver tag via Bluetooth.

🛑 Double-Layer Immobilization (“No Tag, No Start”)

While a standard S5 tracker only alerts the monitoring center, the S5+ variant physically stops thieves in their tracks:

• Automatic Immobilization: The vehicle's engine is automatically locked down within seconds of the ignition turning off. The vehicle will not restart unless an authorized ADR tag or smartphone is recognized.

• Remote Control Room Intervention: In the event of an emergency where your keys and fobs are stolen together, the 24/7 monitoring specialists can issue a command to remotely immobilize the vehicle, ensuring the engine cannot be restarted once turned off.

• Driver-Controlled App Locks: Owners can also manually activate or deactivate immobilization parameters directly through their private smartphone application.

🔒 24/7/365 Professional Monitoring & Recovery

Your vehicle is continually managed by an elite, UK-based emergency monitoring team. If any unauthorized activity is flagged, the control room immediately alerts you to verify the vehicle's status. In a confirmed theft scenario, the team handles direct coordination with local police forces across the UK and Europe, providing live telemetry to achieve a highly successful 96% recovery rate.

📡 Multi-Satellite Precision & 4G Network Roaming

• Tri-Constellation GNSS: Utilizes standard GPS, GLONASS, and Galileo satellite arrays simultaneously to keep location data pinpoint accurate to within 10 meters, regardless of challenging terrain, city high-rises, or heavy foliage.

• 4G Multi-Network SIM: Equipped with a global roaming SIM that automatically connects to the strongest available cellular carrier. It seamlessly shifts networks to guarantee continuous data feeds and avoid black spots.

App & Desktop Convenience Features

Through the companion iOS and Android software, the Driver S5+ offers features to manage day-to-day use:

• Live Tracking & "Find My Vehicle": View your vehicle moving in real-time plotted directly onto standard Google Maps with active direction routing.

• Geofences: Draw customizable boundary circles around key locations and receive instant push notifications if the car crosses them.

• Driver Behaviour Logs: Utilizes built-in gyros and accelerometers to monitor driving habits like harsh braking, rapid acceleration, and cornering speeds to calculate an efficiency score.

• Private vs. Business Mileage: Log and separate business travel history effortlessly to generate instant expense sheets.

• Garage & Transport Modes: Temporarily suppress false alerts with a simple tap when your car is booked for a routine MOT service or traveling on a ferry.

• Privacy Mode: Safely suspend live location reporting or historic journey logs for personal discretion without deactivating underlying theft sensors.
