GPS tracker

[countrytravler]

Looking to install GPS tracking systems in our 20 plus cars. Just looking into this and I think this is the best way to keep track if a car is being moved without authorization. Would need a system that would alert your cell phone if the car is being moved.

Thanks

I was at a large car show several years ago and there was a company selling just what you are speaking about. They advertised it as a anti-thief device that would alert you by cell phone. Have not seen them in several years so they may have gone belly up. Try Google.

I will check my notes, but about six months ago I looked into it for our truck and trailer. There is a good system available, but you need to have the unit where it can pick up and transmit a signal. It looked like it was about 200 dollars per unit plus the tracking contract that was about 25 a month if I remember correctly. There may be a multiple discount. You can program it several ways to send emails and text messages. It works in real time, and the battery was small and inexpensive. I plan on installing it on my new truck sometime next year, and will also place one on the trailer. I think the trailer unit is mor particle and important than the tow vehicle. If I can find the info I will post it. I was also going to put a camera system on the trailer to send video when it was parked in the hotel parking lot. I have more concerns when we are on the road then when we are at a large shows trailer parking area. I also would like a rear facing camera for backing up and traveling down the road. Currently I have a dash camera recording the front and side view of the cab. Ed.
