What is ADR? 

This system is effective against key theft and key cloning. You will be provided with a small ADR fob / driver tag which will identify you as the authorised driver. In the event, the vehicle is moved, by starting the ignition or without your key while the fob is not present. A silent alert is instantly raised to our Control Room. We will then quickly determine if a theft is taking place and work directly with the police to recover the vehicle. 

You can also use your smart phone as a key tag using the mobile APP. 

Optional immobilisation 

The S5 VTS+ offers an additional layer of security that is independent of the vehicle manufacturer’s in-built immobilisation that could be easily prone to attack. Customers opting for this feature benefit from two types of immobilisation: 

  1. Automatic immobilisation – The vehicle will only start when the authorised driver with the ADR tag is present. 
  2. Remote immobilisation – If a vehicle is stolen with the ADR tag, our team can remotely immobilise the vehicle.

3 Year Standard Warranty 

When you invest in a ScorpionTrack product, you have secured peace of mind from an established British based manufacturer offering a 3 year comprehensive warranty as standard. 

Full 24/7/365 Theft Monitoring 

Upon unauthorised movement detection, the ScorpionTrack device discretely notifies our 24/7/365 Monitoring Centre of a possible theft.

iOS and Android Apps 

The free ScorpionTrack mobile app allows you to remotely access and manage security, safety and convenience features including location, journey history and notifications. 

Immobilisers

The Autowatch Ghost II CAN immobiliser

The Ghost is the world’s first aftermarket CAN bus immobiliser and protects your car from theft like nothing else on the market today. The Ghost protects your car from key-cloning, hacking, and even key theft. The only way a thief could take a Ghost protected car is by physically towing it away, even then they will never be able to drive it!  

The Ghost protects your car from key-cloning, hacking, and even key theft.  The Ghost has no key-fobs or LED indications to give away its location. The Ghost uses the buttons in your vehicle such as those on the steering wheel, door panels or centre console, to allow you to make a unique, changeable, disarm sequence (like a PIN code) that must first be entered before you can drive your car. Just like your credit card but you can make your car disarm sequence even safer by making it up to 20 presses long! 

In order to make extreme security also be hassle free, we have created a smart-phone application that connects to your car and allows you to get in and drive without having to enter the disarm sequence. This Ghost-II allows 2 phones to be connected. All you have to do is pair your phone with your Ghost-II, leave the Autowatch Ghost-II application running in the background with Bluetooth enabled and you can drive conveniently and securely. However, remember that if you phone is in range (5m to 10m) and the application is running the Ghost-II will be disarmed. 

The Ghost is compatible with hundreds of modern cars, even hybrid and EV (electric) vehicles.

We offer Insurance Approved systems from Vodafone (Cobra), Autowatch and Sigma, for both CAN and non-CAN (older) vehicles. The system we recommend will depend on the make, model and year of your vehicle.

We have been installing alarms for over 35 years so you can rest assured your vehicle will be in safe hands. Some of our recent installs include a 1998 Nissan Skyline and a 1987 Lancia Delta.
