A CAT S5 tracker main feature is the ADR (Automatic Driver Recognition) system, which recognises the authorised driver upon entering and exiting the vehicle. 

In addition to 24/7 monitoring and instant theft alerts, the system ensures a rapid police response in case of theft.

To achieve Thatcham approval, an S5 Tracker must meet several security standards, including ADR and control room integration.

The benefits of a Thatcham S5 tracker go way beyond appeasing your car insurance provider.

The best Thatcham S5 trackers will provide comprehensive security, full peace of mind and are the most advanced products in the vehicle security category.

To meet Thatcham category S5 approval, these are some of the requirements:

ADR (Automatic Driver Recognition): A small portable tag identifies the authorised driver. If the vehicle is moved without the tag present, an instant alert is triggered in the Control Room.

24/7 Control Room Service: If your vehicle is stolen, the Control Room provides a level 1 police response and guides officers to the exact location of the vehicle. A Recovery Team is also deployed.

Sophisticated Alert System: You’ll receive alerts for battery tampering, disconnection, geo-fencing, and lift/tow-away incidents.

Optional Immobilisation: While no longer an essential feature, CAT S5 trackers with immobilisation is still an optional extra and is available with the S5 PLUS category.

Thatcham S5 tracker cost starts at £379. As the highest level of vehicle security, this tracker pricing includes 24/7 monitoring, theft alerts, and has a 96% recovery rate. 

It's worth noting that the overall price can vary based on the subscription plan and installation fees for the brand that you opt for. Trackershop also always have deals on. So it's always worth enquiring before shopping around.

Although there may be slightly cheaper options available, it's important to check the credentials of the company installing any vehicle security product. Alway do some due diligence online to ensure you are happy that the company working on your vehicle are established, competent and have experience with your vehicle make/model.

The best S5 Trackers are designed to counteract key theft and relay attacks. 

Relay attack has become the effective car theft method of choice in recent years, due to how quick and easy it is to perform on keyless entry vehicles. 2 car thieves work together with relay equipment to hack your key signal, tricking your car into thinking the key is in close proximity - subsequently unlocking your vehicle, allowing the thief to enter without making a noise or causing damage.

Fortunately, the primary feature that helps to detect this method of theft is the ADR (Automatic Driver Recognition).

ADR detects if an unauthorised person has accessed your vehicle, and triggers an instant alert in your 24/7 control room. This means that an immediate response to theft occurs - resulting over 96% recovery rate.
