3 Easy Steps
S5 Tracker Installation
Get in
Touch
Tell us your insurer's category requirement or ask us which S5 tracker suits your vehicle. If you have keyless entry, drive a high-value car or your policy has specifically required an S5 we will confirm the right product before you commit to anything.
Tailored Approach
We supply and fit your chosen S5 tracker at your home or workplace across Staffordshire and our full coverage area, usually within days of enquiring. Your ADR tags are set up on the day and you leave with the system fully active.
You are Protected
Your Thatcham S5 certificate is issued on the day and accepted by your insurer immediately. From that moment your vehicle needs your tag to move without alerting the monitoring centre. No Tag. No Start.
MetaTrak
S5-Deadlock
The MetaTrak S5-VTS approaches the S5 category from a different angle to its competitors. Certified to both the current Thatcham S5 standard and the legacy CAT-5 classification, it satisfies every policy that references either, removing any ambiguity for customers whose insurer documents use older terminology.
The subscription model sets it apart at this price point. The first year is included in the supply and fit price, removing the immediate ongoing cost concern that often makes buyers hesitate. After year one the annual subscription continues at a competitive rate, or a multi-year option is available for owners who prefer to lock in coverage without annual renewal.
Driver ID tags are included as standard and the system alerts the security control centre the moment the vehicle moves without a tag in proximity. Compact and fully waterproof, the device carries a 3-year manufacturer warranty that exceeds most competitor offerings at this level. The 12 and 24 volt compatibility makes it equally suited to private cars and commercial vehicles, and the transferable registration means the system moves with the vehicle if it changes hands.

TASSA Registered Engineers Who Understand Every Element of What They Fit.
An S5 Is a More Sophisticated Installation
Than Most People Realise
Automatic Driver Recognition integrates with your vehicle’s electronics in a way that requires genuine knowledge to execute correctly. A poorly configured S5 system produces an ADR tag that does not reliably communicate, a monitoring centre that does not respond at the right moment and a certificate that may not satisfy a scrutinous insurer.
H-Track’s engineers install S5 trackers day in and day out. Henry’s 20 years of vehicle security experience sits behind every installation decision and Cheryll’s compliance expertise ensures the paperwork is always right. We are TASSA registered, fully insured and directly employed across the board. No subcontractors. No shortcuts. Your S5 installation is carried out by people who understand exactly what they are fitting and why it matters.
FAQ
ask us
anything
What is an S5 tracker?
An S5 tracker is a Thatcham approved GPS tracking system that includes Automatic Driver Recognition alongside 24/7 professional monitoring and theft recovery. ADR means you carry a small discreet tag and the monitoring centre is alerted the moment your vehicle moves without it present. It is the tracker category specified by UK insurers for keyless entry vehicles, high-value cars and any vehicle with an elevated theft risk. H-Track supply and install three Thatcham approved S5 trackers across Staffordshire, the West Midlands, Greater Manchester, Yorkshire, South Yorkshire, Merseyside, Nottinghamshire, Shropshire, Derbyshire, Leicestershire, Gloucestershire, Warwickshire, Powys, Flintshire, Herefordshire, Oxfordshire and Lincolnshire.
What is Automatic Driver Recognition?
Automatic Driver Recognition is the technology that defines the S5 category. You carry a small discreet tag and the system communicates between the tag and the tracker. If the vehicle is moved without a recognised tag in proximity the monitoring centre is alerted immediately. It directly counters relay theft and key cloning because the theft gang can replicate your key signal but they cannot replicate your ADR tag. No Tag. No Start.
What is the difference between an S5 tracker and an S7?
The S7 tracks and recovers a stolen vehicle. The S5 does that and identifies the theft the moment it begins through Automatic Driver Recognition. Without your ADR tag present the monitoring centre is alerted before the vehicle has left your road. For any vehicle with keyless entry, for high-value cars or for any vehicle that has been previously targeted H-Track's recommendation is the S5 as the minimum appropriate protection.
How much does an S5 tracker cost?
H-Track supply and fit three S5 trackers. The Track Manager S5 and Scorpion S5-VTS are both supplied and fitted at £399 with subscriptions from £13.50 per month or £155 annually. The MetaTrak S5-VTS is supplied and fitted at £559 with the first year subscription included and a 3-year manufacturer warranty. The right choice depends on your priorities, call H-Track and we will advise honestly before you book.
Is there a cheap S5 tracker?
At £399 supplied and fitted the Track Manager S5 and Scorpion S5-VTS are the most accessible S5 options on this page at this specification level. It is worth noting that the cheapest installation is not always the best value. What matters is that the product is Thatcham S5 certified and the installer is TASSA registered, because only that combination produces a valid insurance certificate. H-Track supply and fit all three S5 trackers on this page with full TASSA certification included.
Which is the best S5 tracker?
H-Track's recommendation depends on your priorities. The Track Manager S5 offers premium 4G S5 protection with same-day certification at £399. The ScorpionTrack S5-VTS adds fleet-grade features and the heritage of a long-established British manufacturer. The MetaTrak S5-VTS includes the first year subscription and a 3-year warranty making it the strongest long-term value option. Call us and we will tell you honestly which suits your vehicle and your insurer.
Is an S5 tracker suitable for vans and commercial vehicles?
Absolutely. H-Track carry out S5 tracker installation across cars, vans, trucks, motorhomes and plant equipment. The S5 category applies to all vehicle types and the protection it offers is equally valuable across every asset class we cover.
Should I combine my S5 tracker with a Ghost 2 immobiliser?
H-Track's recommendation for any keyless or high-value vehicle is to consider the Ghost 2 immobiliser alongside your S5 tracker. The S5 identifies a theft as it begins and alerts the monitoring centre. The Ghost 2 prevents the engine from starting without a PIN sequence regardless of how the theft is attempted. Together they close every vulnerability that professional gangs currently exploit. H-Track install both in a single visit across all our coverage regions.
What happens if my vehicle is stolen after an S5 tracker is fitted?
The moment your vehicle moves without your Automatic Driver Recognition tag present the 24/7 monitoring centre is alerted. They will contact you immediately to confirm whether a theft is in progress and if confirmed will work directly with UK police forces to locate and recover your vehicle. The process begins in seconds, not hours.
Does my S5 tracker have to be fitted by an approved installer?
Yes. A Thatcham S5 tracker installed by an unregistered engineer produces a certificate your insurer can reject. TASSA registration is the standard your insurer requires from the installer, not just the product. H-Track are TASSA registered and every S5 installation comes with a valid certificate your insurer will accept on the day of fitting.
My policy says CAT 5, will an S5 satisfy it?
Yes. The Thatcham S5 is the current standard that satisfies legacy CAT-5 policy requirements. The MetaTrak S5-VTS is specifically dual-certified to both the current S5 standard and the legacy CAT-5 classification. If your insurer has referenced CAT-5 any of the three S5 trackers on this page will satisfy that requirement.
