Category S5 Trackers

Category S5 Trackers

Insurance Approved Cat S5 Trackers

Shop our range of Category S5 trackers below. Tracker systems previously categorised as Thatcham Category 5 trackers are now automatically compliant with Thatcham Category S5.

A Category S5 offers Automatic Driver Recognition and all Cat S5 trackers utilise a Driver ID tag. If someone without the tag on their keys tries to move the car, an alarm triggers. Category S5 trackers are considered a more advanced option versus Category S7.

We can help you to select the ideal tracker for your vehicle. Ghost Installations has years of experience installing trackers in cars throughout the country. We can therefore advise on additional features that might prove useful like European coverage or remote immobilisation. If cost is a concern, we offer financing of 0% for four months to help you reach your security goals easier. Lastly, all of our prices include fitting and VAT as standard. Our best selling S5 trackers include the Scorpion S5 tracker and the SmarTrack S5 tracker.

Category S5 Trackers: The Highest Level of Thatcham Approved Protection

A Category S5 tracker is the top tier of Thatcham approved stolen vehicle recovery, built for high-value cars, vans and motorhomes that need the strongest protection. What sets S5 apart from lower categories is Automatic Driver Recognition (ADR). Each authorised driver carries a small tag, and if the vehicle is moved without one present, the system immediately alerts a 24/7/365 monitored control room. That gives the response team, and the police, the best possible chance of recovering your vehicle quickly.

Why choose a Cat S5 tracker?

An insurance approved S5 tracker is often a requirement for prestige, performance and specialist vehicles, and it can help lower your premium. Alongside driver recognition, S5 systems provide live GPS tracking across the UK and Europe, battery disconnection and tamper alerts, unauthorised movement warnings, and a smartphone app so you can view journeys and manage your account. Our best selling options include the Scorpion S5 and the SmarTrack S5, both fully transferable to your next vehicle when you upgrade.

Free nationwide S5 tracker installation

Every tracker on this page includes free professional installation at your home, work or dealership. As the UK's leading approved installer of the Autowatch Ghost Immobiliser, our engineers fit your device discreetly and correctly, so your Thatcham approval and manufacturer warranty stay intact. A subscription is required for any S5 tracker to operate and for control room monitoring to remain active.

Not sure if you need S5 or S7?

Category S5 offers maximum protection with driver recognition, while Category S7 provides affordable, insurance approved recovery without tags. If your insurer has specified a category, that will decide it for you. If you are unsure, our team can help you match the right system to your vehicle and budget. Call 0800 246 5538 or request a callback and we will guide you through the options.

S5 Tracker FAQs

What is a Category S5 tracker?

A Category S5 tracker is a Thatcham approved stolen vehicle recovery system that includes Automatic Driver Recognition. If the vehicle moves without an authorised driver tag, a 24/7 control room is alerted to begin recovery.

Is an S5 tracker insurance approved?

Yes. All S5 trackers are Thatcham approved and accepted by insurers. Fitting one may be a condition of your policy on higher-value vehicles and can help reduce your premium.

What is the difference between S5 and S7 trackers?

S5 trackers include driver recognition tags and alert the control room if the vehicle is driven without one. S7 trackers offer insurance approved GPS recovery without driver recognition, at a lower price.

Do S5 trackers need a subscription?

Yes. An active subscription is required for the tracker to communicate and for 24/7 control room monitoring. Without it, the device will not operate.

Is installation included?

Yes. Free nationwide installation is included with every S5 tracker, carried out by our professional engineers at a time and location that suits you.
