GPS Patrol (Hard-Wired Tracker)

The GPS Patrol hard wired gps tracker really is the ideal tracking device for long-term or permanent tracking of vehicles or mobile assets.

Ideal for fleet vehicles, motorcycles, plant machinery, lorries, motor boats and other outdoor equipment, this hard wired gps tracker is a versatile option in our trackers range.

Connecting directly to vehicle electrics (6V–36V), it provides continuous, reliable monitoring without requiring frequent manual battery recharging.

Full Package Provided — No Hidden Running Costs

Many tracking device providers have ongoing running costs in the form of tracking credits, in addition to adding credit to the SIM card.

This normally means that regular payments have to be made to keep credits topped up in order to ensure that location information from the device is accessible on the tracking panel to which it is linked, which can prove very costly over time.

The GPS Patrol package gives you our latest hard wired gps tracker fitted with an active cross-network UK and EU roaming SIM card, including a data package together with your own password-protected access to our sophisticated online tracking platform.

Through this, you will be able to see your vehicle moving live in real time from your PC, iPad, or Smartphone, benefiting from automatic switching between EE, Vodafone, and O2 networks.

Accurate GPS With LBS Tracking Backup System

The GPS Patrol car tracker can send location information updates as frequently as every 15 seconds while on the move.

Where GPS signal is available, locations will be accurate within approximately a 5-metre radius.

Where GPS signals are blocked—such as inside covered structures or underground car parks, the hard wired gps tracker system provides an approximate backup location using mobile base station triangulation (LBS tracking).

This essential backup facility ensures that high-value vehicles, machinery, and expensive cargo are never lost from sight.

Onboard Memory Backup and Ignition Sensing

Equipped with internal memory storing up to 50,000 location points, this hard wired gps tracker caches route data during cellular dead zones and automatically uploads it once signal is restored.

Its ignition-sensing wire feed allows the tracker to prime itself instantly when the engine starts, preventing static battery drain or unnecessary reporting while parked.

Full historic tracking data is saved for up to 12 months for later playback, and custom Geo-fence boundary alerts can be configured to notify you via email whenever a vehicle enters or exits designated areas.

Robust Hardware Built For Extreme Conditions

Boasting an IP67 weatherproof rating, this hard wired gps tracker is completely dust-tight, rainproof, and heat-resistant up to 85°C.

An internal 3450mAh rechargeable backup battery ensures continuous operation if the host vehicle’s battery fails or is disconnected, instantly triggering an external power loss alert.

You can test our live monitoring console by exploring the Futuretrack demo panel (Username: spydemo / Password: spydemo).

Provided you deploy your surveillance equipment for lawful purposes, the situations that suit using a voice recording device or hard-wired vehicle tracker are extensive.

If you have questions regarding auto-electrician wiring or platform configuration for your hard wired gps tracker, please feel free to contact our expert team today.

How accurate is the hard wired gps tracker?

In open conditions with a clear view of the sky, the uBlox GPS receiver delivers location accuracy to within 5 metres. In urban canyons with high-rise buildings, minor signal reflection may slightly affect precision.

What happens if the vehicle loses GPS signal in an underground car park?

The GPS Patrol features LBS cell-tower triangulation backup. If satellite signals are blocked, it uses surrounding mobile network masts to display an approximate location circle on your tracking map.

Can I install the hard wired gps tracker myself?

Installation involves a basic 2 or 3-wire connection (6V–36V) to your vehicle’s electrical supply. While competent DIYers can fit it easily, we recommend using a qualified auto-electrician on modern vehicles to prevent interference with ECU electronics.

Does the tracker continue working if the vehicle battery is disconnected?

Yes. The unit features an internal 3450mAh backup battery that immediately takes over power duties while sending an automated power-loss alert to your tracking panel.

Are there any monthly tracking credit fees?

No. The purchase price includes 12 months of unlimited tracking access and UK/EU cross-network SIM data. After the first year, an annual subscription renewal fee applies to maintain service.

Can I set up alerts when the vehicle enters or leaves a specific area?

Yes. You can configure multiple custom Geo-fence boundaries on the tracking panel. Whenever the vehicle crosses these mapped zones, an automated email alert is triggered at no additional cost.

What happens to tracking data if the vehicle travels through a area with no mobile signal?

The onboard flash memory caches up to 50,000 location logs while offline. As soon as cellular coverage is restored, the cached data automatically uploads to the tracking platform to complete your journey history.

Will the tracker work outside the UK and Europe?

The standard included SIM card covers the UK and European Union member states. If you require permanent international coverage outside Europe, please contact us prior to ordering to arrange a specialised international SIM.

There is no charge for Geofence alerts because these are now all sent by email with no ongoing costs incurred

Does the GPS Patrol hard wired gps tracker have a battery?

Yes, this unit has a 1000mAh battery that acts as a back up the power system of the vehicle into which it has been fitted. These devices will accept voltages between 6V and 36V and as such can be fitted to all manner of vehicles from motorcycles, cars and trucks through to plant equipment.

Is this something that I can fit myself?

Is is recommended that on modern vehicles attachment of additional electronic systems be conducted by a qualified auto electrician. We can make arrangements if required (as a cost option).

How can I watch the movements of my tracking device?

You are provided with a secure login to our feature-rich web-based tracking console.

Consider The Following When Using This Vehicle Tracker:

• Each tracker requires an annual licence fee to be paid. This fee is included in the purchase price and if you wish to continue using the service after the 12 month period then £65.00 + VAT (£78.00) will be payable.
• If you select the UK / EU Unlimited SIM card option then this provides unlimited tracking cross-network service in the UK  and EU for a 12 month period. If intending to use outside the EU then you must contact Spy Equipment UK to discuss arrangements.
• The UK / EU SIM fee is included in the purchase price (where selected), but a renewal is payable after 12 months of issue unless you decide not to continue the service at this point.
• If you decide not to continue the UK / EU Unlimited SIM service or pay your licence fee at the 12 month expiry period, but decide to resume at a later date, then you will have to contact Spy Equipment UK to make arrangements for this.
• If you intend to use the tracking device permanently outside the UK then you will need to contact Spy equipment UK to make arrangements for an active international SIM to be fitted in the tracker. This allows for testing of the unit and for sealing the unit after testing prior to despatch.
• If you are not a car electronics fitter then it is recommended that you employ the services of one to complete the tracker installation. Incorrectly fitted devices can not only fail to function correctly, but also may cause interference with the vehicle ECU signal set up.
