This depends on the type of building, it should be noted that trackers work via GPS and they must be able to communicate with a GPS Satellite. Should the device be in an underground car park, it’s possible it won’t function until it comes back above ground again. There are a small number of areas up and down the UK that have poor coverage. We have been able to limit this to a minimum with the type of antenna installed in the device.

This depends on the way the device is used. For example, a tracking device that is monitoring the whereabouts of a valuable asset may only need to report once a day on battery save mode, and the battery will last for months. Should you require your device to report every ten seconds, this will reduce the battery life. The Prime 3G GPS Tracker’s battery lasts for approximately ten days on a five-minute reporting schedule. Your device will ‘communicate’ with the Tracking Panel every four hours, even if the item has not moved. This ensures you are always confident the device is working correctly. This feature is only disabled in battery save mode.

Your tracking device will work anywhere with GPS and a mobile phone infrastructure. Today, this covers 147 countries around the globe.

Your device will be shipped with charge, so you can see the unit on its journey to your door by using the Tracking Panel or the app. Upon arrival we recommend you give your new device a full charge. The tracker will have 100 position credits and these are used when the tracker moves, using 1 credit every time the unit reports, if you ask the unit to report every 5 minutes for example you will use 12 positions in 1 hour. The unit will also have 25 SIM credits, they allow you to send commands to the unit, such as when you change the reporting time or you programme the Tracking Panel to alert you via text message. You can either opt for buying positions and SIM credits as required (PAYG) or take advantage of our unlimited plans that can be bought as 1 month, 3 months, 6 months or (for best value) 12 months. Unlimited plans give both positions and SIM credits.
