COBRA LAUNCHES ENHANCED STOLEN VEHICLE RECOVERY RANGE WITH WEB MONITORING SERVICE
Revised line-up includes web upgrade offering Vehicle Location on Demand and Geofence Protection
Cobra is launching a revised CobraTrak stolen vehicle recovery product range to coincide with its presence at this year's CV Show at the NEC in Birmingham from 12th to 14th April. With more than 300,000 vehicles stolen in the UK every year, even the largest HGV and its valuable cargo can go missing without trace in a matter of minutes.
CobraTrak uses the latest GPS/GPRS/GSM technology to locate a vehicle to within 10 metres. Cobra's network of 24 hour monitoring centres across 39 European countries, Russia and South Africa commence live tracking when a theft is reported and liaise with police authorities in local language to recover the vehicle quickly and undamaged.
Both of Cobra's tracking products CobraTrak Plus and CobraTrak 5 can be upgraded with a brand new web monitoring service for a small additional fixed annual fee, offering the following valuable benefits to commercial vehicle operators:-
Web Monitoring including:
Real time vehicle location: via a simple password protected web application. This user friendly web application gives vehicle operators the ability to obtain a pinpoint location for their vehicles on demand. This is available for multiple vehicles, making it ideal for commercial vehicle fleet operators.
Geofence: this facility allows operators to self set a geofence zone (effectively a "safe" zone) around vehicles and receive immediate alerts via SMS/email/voice alert should a vehicle enter or leave the pre-set area.
Self-set Transport Mode: for use when travelling for instance by ferry, or Garage Mode when the vehicle is being serviced. Both prevent false alerts from being generated.
There are two CobraTrak stolen vehicle recovery systems, both available with the above web monitoring upgrade.
CobraTrak Plus: - The new CobraTrak Plus system delivers GPS stolen vehicle tracking with pan European coverage, plus the added security of generating the following alerts:-
Tow-away alert: Triggered when motion is detected with the ignition switched off
Tamper alert: Activated when the vehicle battery is disconnected or discharged, or when the system wiring is cut
GSM jamming alert: Triggered when an attempt to jam the GSM signal is made
CobraTrak 5: The latest version of CobraTrak 5, Cobra's flagship Thatcham Category 5 accredited product, the highest independent security rating available for a stolen vehicle recovery device, incorporates all the benefits of CobraTrak Plus, with the added benefit GPS and GSM jamming detection, plus the peace of mind offered by:-
Automatic Driver Recognition via Driver Card: Drivers are issued with a unique pocket-sized Driver Card and on leaving the vehicle the system automatically arms itself. If the vehicle is moved without the Driver Card present, Cobra's Secure Operating Centre is alerted instantly to a potential theft, even if the vehicle is taken using the vehicle's own key.
Remote Ignition Lock: Enabling the Police to authorise Cobra to send an alert to the vehicle and prevent the engine being restarted once it comes to a standstill. This significantly increases the chance of both the vehicle and its contents being recovered undamaged, and can help avoid high speed police pursuit of suspect vehicles.
Aside from the obvious financial implications of losing a vehicle, commercial vehicle theft can damage confidence in an operator's ability to deliver loads securely and on time, which could result in the loss of further contracts and potentially destroy a business overnight.
Through its CobraTrak and NavTrak brands, Cobra is the European market leader for stolen vehicle tracking and location based services. The company supplies stolen vehicle tracking and recovery services at a pan-European level to Audi, Bentley, Ferrari, Infiniti, Lamborghini, Maserati, Mitsubishi, Nissan, Porsche, Renault, and Tesla.
