Covert GPS Tracker with 90 Day Battery

Purchased for my caravan which has no leisure battery connected, so a unit with its own power source was vital!! Did much research and battery longevity was paramount...this came up best, with a 180 day standby time claimed in its specifications.Came nicely packaged with all the necessary instructions and power cables should you wish to hardwire it to a vehicle battery.A Giff Gaff SIM is provided with it, however I swapped this out for an ASDA SIM card which has a lower text cost and also doesn't require a monthly top up. As long as there is 1 chargeable text or call made from the SIM in any 90 days the balance rolls over. With Giff Gaff you have to top up a minimum £10 every month!To me, this trackers selling point is the long battery life and I think this is what you pay for in the relatively high retail price tag compared to other cheaper trackers. But a good battery doesn't come cheap and hopefully it will stand the test of time.The tracker functionality itself is pretty much the same as most trackers on the market. I do however particularly like the "shock" functionality of this unit. ..with 3 different sensitivity settings low/medium/high sensitivity. So if my caravan is tampered with as regarding any vibration or movement...it will immediately text me to let me know and with my security cameras trained on the Caravan with remote access from my phone I can view at any time, so I have a sense of calm about my caravan being left on my drive now.I've had this unit 3 weeks now and since fully charging I've fitted it and put the unit into a deep sleep mode (all LED lights off and minimal power source used) so it will only awaken if vibration is detected. Done a status check on the tracker today via text and it's still showing 100% battery so it all seems pretty much as it states in the description.Different mode settings will give different battery power source length limits...it all depends on personal preference as to what setting suits you best for your needs. For example.. If GPRS mode is activated this sends out data every few minutes/hours therefore battery length is significantly reduced because of this....however an up to date record of the vehicles whereabouts is constantly to hand via the Internet, however there is an annual subscription of about £53 for this service....which equates to less than a pound a week if you look at the bigger picture, which I don't feel is too badly priced!Charging the unit takes approximately 7 hours to fully charged.I highly recommend this unit from the experience I have of it so far. I've had no issues and is performing exactly to my needs.I'm very much contemplating purchasing another for my Campervan and removing my subscription tracker for which I pay £6.99 a month for to do exactly what this one does.As a side note: this unit comes with a very strong base magnet so it can be mounted practically anywhere on a vehicle...and with no wires to trace back to the unit it will be undetectable to the would be thief if hidden well.

I bought it from Amazon UK, but using it in abroad. Being an Amazon buyer since last 8 years, I rarely post review of purchased items, but this time I felt the necessity of posting this to help other people so that they think twice before buying this item.I want to be precise on this review. I kept this device inside my car on an open space so that there is no obstacle for good communication with satellite and the device should able to give proper location data. But this is very frustrating that, having spent that much on a thing (190 GBP), the result is very poor. It's like a normal cheap non brand Chinese tracker. I have used several more local trackers in my country which are far better than this crap. The only reason I ordered this item is, it was advertised that the charge stays longer, around 60 days. So I thought to avoid hard-wiring the device in my car. Another reason was to avoid monthly contract with local companies for tracking my vehicle.I am using it outside UK (in Asia) and it's hard for me to send it back due to Customs issue. Otherwise, I could have returned it.Pros:1. Any operator SIM can be used (GSM 2G)2. Monthly contract is not mandatoryCons:1. Inaccurate GPS signal. Often it needs to restart to reset the location information. And it takes 8-10 minutes in open air for calibration. Otherwise it keeps on sending a location which is may be an week older.2. Location update is very poor. It needs totally open air to provide Location accuracy. For example, I was driving in highways and then came to my residence and parked the car. The device still gives me the location which is older than 15-20 minutes till I parked the car. This is ridiculous and no reason to spend 190 pound on this poor device. Also you will get much old location data if you have parked this car in a parking building.3. Even in open motor ways, calling the device from phone and getting reply SMS takes longes. In that time, vehicle might have moved several miles. So you never get a precise location anytime.4. Charge supposed to stay 60 days, but hardly it stays 20-25 days even with very low usage.5. The item body is blank and black. No mention of any company name. So it is not the same as described in Amazon.6. Help is poor. Guide is just a flyer type paper which missed many important things on 'How to use this device'.7. Overall an over overpriced item. I can't see any reason to buy it.

Used this fitted to my motorbike so folk at home could see where I was touring Scandinavia, the instructions not the best, it does more than I needed, similar to other units it works with a GiffGaff sim card, a phone call made then cancelled and the caller receives a txt with a link to a map - saves spelling difficult Norwegian place names!!

I run a small hire company and fit these to our equipment, I have now bought a few of these and four are permanently wired and the others are used as battery operated units due to the type of plant. They are very robust and the magnets more than capable of holding the units when used on sites. They come ready to use and the instructions are in plain English and everything you'll need is in the box. I will buy these again.

This works well most of the time. However, I have noticed a delay in it sending text messages at times. The magnet is very strong for attaching to the car but be careful, make sure you can get it off if you need to do that to charge it. The battery charge lasted a little over a month rather than the 90 days advertised and this is with very little use (i.e. I didn't request position alerts very often).

After few months of use, the battery is no longer holding its charge like it used to.

Love it .. Battery is already at 50% after 2 weeks but brilliant product

well impressed......coupled with excellent customer service......
