BlueLineFish 615 Posted December 1, 2013 Can anybody recommend a good system for tracking stuff. Looking for a small tracker to hide and a way to monitor it. Nothing too crazy or super expensive. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Respect2A 0 Posted December 1, 2013 Cheating wife? Pain in the ass child? Lol I think these devices that can be actively monitored are quite expensive. Some cell phones can be monitored that way though. IPhone can. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tony357 386 Posted December 1, 2013 You should have asked someone on your drug task force at work, we sold boats to 3 NYPD detectives back in the late 1980's that had some cool equipment for tracking, recording, and listening devices. Did you try Google ? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sell682 1 Posted December 1, 2013 There's a store called Covert Resource on rt 46 in saddle brook with quite a bit of equipment. Maybe give them a call or visit if your near. http://www.covertresource.com/ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

maintenanceguy 510 Posted December 1, 2013 I've used these: http://www.brickhousesecurity.com/product/trackport+gps+tracker.do It plugs into the ODBII port under the dash - no work to install it instead of just plugging it in...usually. They work great. But there are 3 minor issues. for some reason they designed these with visible LEDs. You'll need black electrical tape to cover those If the truck battery is removed, they will beep when first powered up. It's just a quick beep and probably not enough to be found. In about half the vehicles I've used these in, the OBDII port was close enough to the face of the dashboard that these stuck out where you could see them. I've had to fabricate extension brackets to move the port back a few inches before I could use these. That means about 10 minutes access to the vehicle. Otherwise, you can have these deployed in seconds. Tracking is real time with about 1 minute latency. It gives a record of all travel listing street names and directions. It also records idle time and how long the vehicle was at that location. It can map the travel route for any period of time that you choose. My favorite feature: you can draw geo-fences and the system can alert you by text message or email if the vehicle enters or exits a geo-fence. We have lost these in areas that did not have cell coverage but got them back when the vehicle returned to civilization. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
greatgunstatenj 32 Posted December 1, 2013 Do they own a smart phone? Do you have access to it? There are a bunch of companies that sell software that will allow you to monitor gps position, microphone, video, web traffic, etc. http://www.mobile-spy.com/ http://www.stealthgenie.com/ Edit: And I'm sure you realize that unless you actually own the piece of equipment you install this on you are breaking the law. Hacking can get you up to 5 years I think. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We used something like this at my old job... you can set up some pretty cool features with a program. You can set alerts for different things and different times of day. For instance you can program a text alert if the car is turned on or moved between a specific time, or set an alert for speeding. You can actually buy an extension or y harness for these.. the ones we had were tucked into the steering column. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BlueLineFish 615 Posted December 1, 2013 Not a hardwired setup. Small battery operated tracker that is easily hidden. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
maintenanceguy 510 Posted December 2, 2013 I've tried a few of the magnetic under-the-car type. Signal kept getting lost. I don't know if I was using poor quality units or if the location - on the frame of the vehicle was the problem. Switched to the under dash ones and have had no problems.

Just trying to find where something that is taken ends up and have the ability to follow it live rgr. there was a setup i was going to work on for our cap vehicles. it wasn't covert though. it simply plugged into the obd2 dlc. they had the ability to track livetime, and if the vehicle was moved while no one was monitoring, one could go into the system, and backtrack to whenst they were. it gave speed, engine runtime, etc.....
