    If you own an expensive vehicle it’s likely that you will need to have a Thatcham Cat 5 tracking system fitted in Rotherham. Vehicles are getting much harder to steal and it is beyond the capabilities of all but the professional criminal.  The response from the car thieves has been to focus on breaking into premises to steal the vehicle keys.  To try and combat this trend of key theft manufacturers have been working on new tracking products.  The new products have modern technologies with the ability for remote immobilisation, hence Cat 5.

    The main features of a Cat 5 tracking system are Battery Disconnect Alert, Driver Recognition Tags, Police approval immobilisation trigger, Illegal Motion Detection, Positional Data Store and an Approved Secure Operating Centre. 

    Which Category?

    The major differences between Cat 5 and Cat 6 tracking systems are the Driver Recognition tags and the Police immobilisation.  Once notified that a vehicle theft has taken place the Police can, at a safe point in time, send a signal to immobilise a stolen vehicle. As soon as the vehicle is parked up and the ignition off it will not restart.

    Thatcham TRI Recognised Installers in Sheffield

    Now, there can be confusion between a ‘Thatcham approved security system’ and a ‘Thatcham Recognised Installer’.  A Thatcham approved security system (usually known as a Cat1 or Cat2 for an alarm/immobiliser and Cat5 or Cat6 for a tracking system) is a product that the company who manufactures it has paid a fee to send it through the Thatcham testing procedure to give it the status of an insurance approved system.  An installation company who they then train and certify can fit these products.  A TRI is a company who has gone through a series of checks and tests by Thatcham. Thatcham is the governing body for the motor insurance industry. Once these checks are done you gain accreditation as a TRI.
