Anti-theft protections for motorcycles and
scooters

Before purchasing a GPS tracker, it is important to know that in Belgium there are rules and laws in force regarding the recovery of stolen objects or vehicles. You have surely heard of stolen smartphones that can be geolocated, but the police cannot intervene for fear of violating the law. Absurd, isn't it? But that's the law.

Only GPS trackers, accompanied by a ministry-approved remote monitoring service, are effective for post-theft recovery of stolen vehicles with police support.

Why? Because as soon as the alarm system takes over the GPS tracker of the stolen vehicle, the location tracking stops for the owner in order to comply with the law protecting the thief's privacy.

Are ineffective for post-theft recovery:

• – Mobile applications and original vehicle trackers
• – All trackers that do not include an approved alarm center

We have been selling GPS trackers since 2014 with products that meet the requirements of the market and Belgian law. We have a range of products certified by the INCERT label, proving the quality and effectiveness of our products. Security is a profession we take very seriously and which must be handled in a very procedural and professional manner.

If there are GPS tracker products with or without a paid subscription on the market, it means there are significant differences between these products that are important to understand.

• The first difference is that a GPS tracker without a subscription does not have an approved monitoring center to recover a stolen vehicle. In Belgium, they are ineffective for vehicle security and are generally not intended for this purpose.
• The second difference is the network they use. In most cases, for cost reasons, GPS trackers without a subscription use the Sigfox network to locate the vehicle. This network is less powerful, less present (antennas) and less precise than the EDGE or 4G cell phone network. To recover a stolen vehicle, it is extremely important to have impeccable network precision and responsiveness.

> – Our subscription of €99/year or €8.25 per month gives you access to EDGE and 4G networks worldwide, a state-of-the-art mobile application, approved theft assistance, and unlimited Roaming.

Although a padlock, chain, or disc lock are deterrents, they are not inviolable. If the motorcycle is not attached to a post, it is very easy for a thief to lift the motorcycle and place it directly into a van. This takes a maximum of 60 seconds. However, if the motorcycle is attached to a post, it slightly complicates the thief's work. At that moment, he takes out his battery-powered angle grinder and, whether certified or not, nothing resists him: a maximum of 120 seconds.

So what should you do to make your motorcycle as safe as possible?

The most effective solution is to equip your motorcycle with an audible alarm accompanied by a GPS tracker. At the slightest movement, the alarm will trigger a 116 dB speaker instantly scaring off the thief, and the GPS tracker will immediately alert you to the incident so you can react as quickly as possible. Our products are equipped with back-up batteries for operation without power supply.

Even in case of theft, our GPS tracker is equipped with theft assistance available 24/7 and operated by a ministry-approved alarm center. Its objective is to contact the police to do everything possible to recover your stolen motorcycle: 96% of our customers' stolen vehicles equipped with our EasyTrak GPS tracker are recovered within 24 hours after calling the center.
