Your vehicle is a valuable asset that requires a great degree of protection. One efficient way to ensure the safety of your vehicle is by installing a tracking system. These days, however, tracking systems are far more than just devices for your vehicle. They provide you with peace of mind, assuring you that your loved ones are safe and sound when traveling.
Tracking system companies have integrated smart technologies into their products, presenting additional features and benefits to having one installed:
theft retrieval
location-based tracking
reports
app and web access
in-app car guard
license reminders
log vehicle expenses
roadside and medical assistance
service reminders
share my journey so your loved ones can monitor the progress of your trip and see that you have arrived safely
standard risk notifications
trip logbook
zones management
accident assistance
impact detection
Tracking devices not only alleviate the risk of you losing your vehicle, but significantly aid in its recovery in the event of a crime. With this in mind, it remains imperative that you frequently monitor the working status of your device, ensuring it is efficiently operational at all times.
You can also contact your respective tracking service - BEAME and MATRIX (011 654 8000) to request a check to ensure your device is activated alternative contact your Barker Insurance consultant to assist with checking your device.
Alternatively, you can download the BEAME or MATRIX APPs free from your mobile’s app store and this too, once signed up, will give you the status of your tracking device.
