Think About Functionality When deciding where to put your GPS tracker you also need to think about its security, the weather and signal blocking. Posted in News By TrackerFit.
The only thing is that you will need a trained mechanic for this purpose. With the help of a mechanic, open the front bumper. The device when installed in this area will have uninterrupted power as the hidden device will be connected directly to the power supply of the vehicle. It will ensure that you keep on receiving the updates from the GPS tracking device for a long time without any break.
Wheel Wells. You can be a bit innovative when it comes to installing the device. No one will think that a device can be hidden inside a wheel well. You can keep the device in any odd item including a cylinder or a tiny box.
It is much easier to attach a magnetic tracking device to the metal part of the wheel. Rear Bumper. In the rear bumper as well, you will find many wires similar to the front bumper which makes it easier to conceal a small black box containing a tracker.
In the midst of all the cables and wires for sensors and cameras, it will be very difficult to find out the wiring of the tracker making it difficult for anyone to find it. Under Carpets. Convertible cars having sunroof offer more scope for concealing the GPS tracking device. From under the carpets to below and between the seats you can keep the tracker cleverly hidden. In the long run, the survival of a fleet management company is decided by its level of productivity.
You can end up losing large money in any case your employees are not working during their allotted working hours. When you install GPS devices for tracking on the fleet of your vehicles, you can find out who is really contributing his working hours to work and who are simply wasting time on the regular basis.
This update on the motions of work helps you decide the perks, wages and other advantages that you offer to the employees. When you track employees on a regular basis, it becomes easier to find out the most productive one. You can notify the employees that all the vehicles are on GPS tracker which will indirectly pressurize them to elevate their overall performance and contribution to work. It directly increases your level of production and with just small investment in tracking device; your profit is automatically increased.
Someone may have loosened the liner to attach a magnetized tracker to the frame or body behind it. Your flashlight and telescoping mirror will also come in handy in checking underneath the vehicle. If you have a creeper, and the ground clearance is high enough, slide under the vehicle to perform a thorough inspection.
Focus on areas someone could easily hide a tracker without taking too much time or effort, and keep in mind that the tracker could be covered in road dirt and grime. Trackers can also be hidden under, or inside, bumpers. You'll need a flashlight and mirror to perform a thorough inspection here as well. In some cases, you may have to reach up and inside the bumper to feel around. While trackers can be hidden inside the engine compartment, it isn't common. If someone can get inside your car to open the hood, they are more likely to hide the device inside the car.
Since hidden GPS trackers can be small, they can be tucked away anywhere inside a car or truck. You'll want to focus on places where such a device could be hidden quickly, but that won't always do the trick. While the most discreet trackers are battery-powered, simpler units are designed to plug directly into a vehicle's data connector. If you can locate the data connector, which is usually found under the dash near the driver's legs, and it has something plugged into it, that's a reason for concern.
If you don't notice anything that obvious, use your flashlight and mirror to check under the seats, under and behind the dash, inside and behind the glove compartment, and in the center console. Trackers can also be hidden in seat pockets, between seats, behind sun visors, and elsewhere. One of the difficulties involved in locating a hidden GPS tracker inside a car is that it may blend in with other components.
For instance, small modules like the one that runs the power door locks may easily be confused for something more nefarious. In cases where someone is determined to have their surveillance device go undetected, they may hide a tracker inside a seat cushion, behind a door panel, and in other out-of-the-way locations.
These devices can also be hidden in a trunk. If you have a spare tire, remove and inspect it. At that time, you can also peel back the trunk liner, which can easily hide a small GPS tracking device. Electronic sweepers, which are also called bug detectors, are handheld devices that detect electromagnetic signals like those used by radio transmitters and cellphones. This type of equipment can be purchased from some of the same places you find GPS trackers, or you can build one if you have the right spare parts laying around.
Since sweepers rely on detecting transmissions, they aren't useful in finding passive GPS trackers. However, they can be a great help in finding well-hidden active trackers. If you are able to get a bug sweeper, power it up and then slowly walk around your vehicle. Depending on the sensitivity, you may have to hold it near all of the locations mentioned in the previous sections.
When a bug detector locates a suspect signal, it typically lights up, vibrates, or buzzes to let you know.
That's your cue to go over that area with a fine-toothed comb. In some cases, you may run into a tracker that transmits only when the vehicle is moving.
When the vehicle is stopped, this type of tracker remains passive, and a bug sweeper can't detect it. So if you don't detect anything at first, ask someone else operate the vehicle while you keep an eye on the sweeper.
Most hidden GPS trackers are battery-powered and held on by magnets or tape. If you find one of these, all you have to do is pull it loose, and you're done. The same is true of trackers that plug into a diagnostic connector or the cigarette lighter socket.
In rarer cases, where a GPS tracker is hard-wired into power and ground, you may want to seek professional assistance.
