One of the most frustrating events that we wish you wouldn’t have to go through, is to see your hard-earned possessions gone… taken by a lowly thief. Don’t allow these criminals to exploit you; claim your rights and protect your property. Install Spy Spot’s GPS trackers and keep an eye on your vehicles. What we offer you is peace of mind. 


8 things you need to consider before buying a spy tracker

Size

There are four different trackers available, all roughly the size of a golf ball. The GL320MG Micro Tracker is a compact and portable unit that can be discreetly placed anywhere with ease. Another option is the OBD Tracker, which is tiny and should be linked to your OBD port, typically located near the bottom left of a steering wheel. Then, there's the Mounted GPS tracker, which can be attached to the vehicle's battery or live wire to track live pinpoint locations. Lastly, there's the Hardwire GPS Tracker, which also connects to a vehicle's battery. Similar to the previously mentioned mounted GPS tracker, this device has a unique feature; it can be activated and deactivated with just a click of a button!


Storage Capabilities

These trackers retain a history of activity spanning six months. This stored history simplifies the process of monitoring a vehicle’s whereabouts even if it has been a while since it was regretfully stolen. This abundance of information enables you to retrieve any stolen vehicle even after some time.


Connectivity Range

Spy Spot's GPS Trackers operate on a 4G network, ensuring a strong and consistent signal with an extensive coverage area. Regardless of their location, no matter the distance, you'll remain informed.


Battery Life 

When considering battery life, your primary concern will be the GL320Mg Micro tracker, which, as previously mentioned, is a portable unit and can last 2-3 weeks on a single charge. However, the Mounted, Hardwire, and OBD Trackers are all linked to the vehicle, ensuring continuous power supply.


Compactness

All the trackers are hardly the size of a golf ball; they are really small and will surely go unnoticed. 


Waterproof

The Mounted and Hardwire GPS Trackers are resilient to extreme weather conditions; whether facing scorching heat or blizzard-like cold, they remain undamaged. As for the GL320Mg Micro tracker, it can be acquired with a magnetic case that offers weatherproof and waterproof protection.


Navigation App 

With all four of these trackers, you can access their location via the "SpySpotGPS" app or online. Through the app, you can view the live location feed and access a 6-month history report containing detailed records. These records include MPH (miles per hour), breadcrumb trail, street view, satellite view, on/off ignition reports, and various other details.


Easy to hide

All four tracker options are relatively simple to conceal. The Hardwire and Mounted GPS Trackers are installed beneath the hood of your vehicle, making them inconspicuous unless the vehicle is undergoing maintenance. For the OBD Tracker, a broad cable is available for purchase with this unit, allowing you to conceal the tracker while still maintaining access to an OBD Port. Lastly, with the Micro GPS Tracker, as mentioned earlier, you can acquire a magnetic case. The magnets on the case are exceptionally strong and are typically placed underneath a car. These trackers are all compact, inconspicuous, and discreet—no one will suspect a thing!
