Our GPS tracking enables you to monitor the movement of a vehicle or parcel, keeping a log of the movement history and, most importantly, knowing where the vehicle is stopping and the duration of these stops.
Our highly trained professional detectives use small, discreet GPS trackers designed for covert installation beneath vehicles or concealment within packages. The trackers can determine the location of a vehicle with high levels of accuracy.
Our GPS tracking devices support surveillance operations and help investigators achieve more accurate and effective results. The devices provide 24/7 activity reports which you can download, save or print. You will also receive a case manager who can provide you with regular updates if you do not want to view the reports yourself.
In some situations, there may be a requirement for us to track physical items for theft or other scenarios. In these scenarios, we offer custom-built devices to fit your product if required.
If you suspect someone has fitted a tracking or listening device to your vehicle, our bug-sweeping service can locate and remove it.
How does a vehicle tracker work?
We covertly install a GPS tracking device underneath the vehicle. After installation, you’ll receive a unique password and website access, allowing you to monitor the vehicle’s movements 24/7. For more information on Vehicle Tracking, please look at our page located here
Can I install the device myself?
No, unfortunately, you cannot fit the device yourself. The devices must be fitted by a professional.
What information does the GPS Tracking device provide me with?
The tracking device will provide you with a live view of the vehicle’s movements, including the date and time of the movements, the speed of the vehicle, the time of any stops and the duration of any stops.

What Is Car Tracking & What Is It Used For?
Car tracking refers to the use of GPS (Global Positioning System) technology and telecommunications networks to monitor the location and movement of a vehicle in real time. A tracking device installed in the vehicle sends data to a secure platform, where users can view location, routes, speed, and other vehicle information.
Car tracking systems are commonly used by:
- Fleet operators managing multiple vehicles
- Businesses monitoring company cars or vans
- Parents keeping track of young drivers
- Individuals protecting personal vehicles from theft
- Insurance providers offering usage-based policies
Understanding GPS Tracking: How It Works and Its Applications
Introduction
GPS tracking has become a pivotal tool in various fields, offering precise location data and real-time monitoring. Whether used for personal safety, business logistics, or investigative purposes, GPS tracking provides valuable insights and enhances operational efficiency. Here’s an in-depth look at GPS tracking, how it works, and its various applications.
GPS tracking involves the use of Global Positioning System (GPS) technology. This determines the location of a person, vehicle, or asset. GPS devices receive signals from a network of satellites orbiting the Earth, enabling them to pinpoint exact locations. Our trackers are highly accurate.
How GPS Tracking Works
Display and Analysis:
Maps or tracking software display the received data, enabling users to view the location, movement history, and other relevant details.
Satellite Signals:
GPS devices receive signals from multiple satellites. The more satellites the device can communicate with, the more accurate the location data.
Data Processing:
The GPS receiver processes the signals from the satellites to calculate its exact position on Earth. The system converts the information into geographic coordinates (latitude and longitude).
Transmission:
The GPS device transmits location data to a central system or user using methods such as mobile networks, the internet, or radio frequencies. This allows for real-time monitoring and analysis.
How GPS Trackers Can Aid Surveillance
GPS trackers can support surveillance by providing lawful location data during an investigation.
They can help confirm movement patterns, identify regular routes and establish whether a vehicle visits relevant locations.
Used alongside physical surveillance, GPS data can help investigators plan resources more efficiently.
It can also reduce unnecessary observation time by highlighting when movement occurs.
GPS tracking may assist with:
- Confirming vehicle movements
- Identifying recurring locations
- Supporting surveillance planning
- Building an accurate timeline
- Corroborating observations made by investigators
- Reducing unnecessary surveillance hours
Use GPS trackers only where a lawful basis and appropriate authority exist.
- Ownership, consent, privacy rights and data protection requirements all determine whether tracking is lawful.
- Private Investigator Essex uses GPS technology only where its use is lawful and proportionate.
- Location data supports the wider investigation and requires assessment alongside other evidence.
- When properly obtained and documented, GPS information can help support Evidence to a Court Standard.
