GPS Vehicle Trackers

You would be surprised how many of these are deployed.

A core of my clients are Private Investigators.

Bread and butter work for PI's (other than process serving) has historically been following suspected unfaithful partners.

Since the availability of GPS / GPRS trackers and the improvement in battery technology this model of investigation has become almost redundant.

Now when a suspiciousness wife wants to know where her husband is going she hires a GPS Tracker from a PI usual around £150 to £200 a week and pays for the PI to stealthily fit the device to the underside of the vehicle usually in the early hours of the morning.

This in itself can be a problem especially with modern cars as you need a flat metal surface to attached the tracker and be in a position where it won't get knocked off.
There is a car encyclopedia available with all the available mounting positions on the various makes and models.

Battery life on a modern tracker can be up to a month or with just GPRS up to three months if set to 30 second position update and can be monitored in real time from a browser.

Several of the PI's that I know have at any one time up to 20+ of these devices fitted to vehicles out on the road and as they make the cost of the tracker back in the first week's hire its a good money earner for little work.

If you can get access to the inside of the car for a bit - mobile phone with a charger wired up somewhere discreet and phone hidden in the dash on silent. Before you fit it, set it up with one of those services to track your kids mobiles and you've tracked your car well cheap.
