DECISION GUIDE

Which Tracker Do I Need?

Not sure which tracker is right for you? Here are some common scenarios to help you decide.

"I own a performance vehicle"

Recommend S5

If you drive a high-value, performance or prestige vehicle, the S5 is typically the recommended choice. Its Automatic Driver Recognition provides the highest level of protection, and many insurers require S5 category for these vehicles.

"I've been asked by my insurer"

Check requirements

If your insurer has asked you to fit a tracker, check whether they specify a category. Some require S5, while others accept S7. If you're unsure, contact us with your insurer's requirements and we'll advise on the most suitable tracker.

"I simply want to protect my vehicle"

S5 or S7

Both S5 and S7 provide valuable protection with 24/7 UK monitoring and fast vehicle recovery. The S5 offers additional Driver Recognition for enhanced security, while the S7 offers excellent value for everyday vehicles.

24/7 UK Monitoring

S5

Scorpion S5-VTS Tracker

Thatcham Category S5 — Highest Insurance-Approved Standard

The S5 is the highest category of insurance-approved tracker available. It includes Automatic Driver Recognition (ADR) — if your vehicle is moved without one of the supplied ADR fobs present, an immediate theft alert is triggered to the 24/7 monitoring centre, even if the thief has your original keys. This makes the S5 the recommended choice for high-value, performance, and luxury vehicles where insurers often mandate Category S5 as a condition of cover.

Thatcham Category S5

The highest insurance-approved tracker category. Recognised and required by most major UK insurers for high-value and performance vehicles.

Automatic Driver Recognition (ADR)

Two secure ADR fobs are supplied. If the vehicle moves without an ADR fob detected, an instant theft alert is sent to the 24/7 monitoring centre — even if stolen with the original keys.

Relay Theft Protection

Protects against all modern theft methods including relay theft, key cloning, and remote OBD hacking — the techniques used by today's sophisticated thieves.

24/7 Theft Monitoring

A UK-based Secure Control Centre monitors your vehicle around the clock, 365 days a year. Vehicles are often recovered within 15 minutes of a confirmed theft.

Live Tracking & Journey History

Real-time GPS location, journey history, speed monitoring, and geofence alerts — all from the ScorpionTrack mobile app.

ScorpionTrack Mobile App

Full control from your phone: live location, alerts, privacy mode, transport/garage modes, find-my-vehicle directions, and Touch ID login.

S7

Scorpion S7-ALS Tracker

Thatcham Category S7 — Entry-Level Insurance-Approved Standard

The S7 is the entry-level insurance-approved tracker standard, replacing the older Thatcham Category 6 and 7 classifications. It provides the same 24/7 UK monitoring and fast recovery as the S5, but without Automatic Driver Recognition. If your insurer requires a tracker but doesn't mandate S5, the S7 offers excellent protection at a more accessible price point.

Thatcham Category S7

The entry-level insurance-approved tracker standard, replacing the older Thatcham Category 6 & 7 classifications. Accepted by virtually all UK insurers.

Theft Detection

Detects unauthorised vehicle movement and immediately alerts the 24/7 monitoring centre, who contact you to confirm the theft and liaise with police for recovery.

24/7 Theft Monitoring

Same UK-based Secure Control Centre as the S5 — continuous monitoring, 365 days a year, with fast vehicle recovery.

Live Tracking & Journey History

Real-time GPS location, journey history, and vehicle management — all accessible via the ScorpionTrack mobile app.

ScorpionTrack Mobile App

Full mobile app access: live location, alerts, privacy mode, journey history, and find-my-vehicle directions.

Battery Backup & Tamper Alerts

Internal battery backup keeps the tracker active even if the vehicle's battery is cut. Instant tamper alerts if the unit is disturbed or disconnected.
