S7: tracking and recovery support
TrakShield S7 Monitor provides live tracking without S5 driver recognition. TrakShield Counterstrike pairs an S7 tracker with a separate Sleeper. Two trackers do not make a system S5.
Compare the categoriesS5: add driver recognition
TrakShield S5 Authenticate includes an authorised-driver ID fob as well as tracking. TrakShield Prevent combines S5 tracking with Category 2 immobilisation as described by the shop. Driver recognition on its own is not an immobiliser.
Ask for the exact requirement
Confirm the category, any immobilisation condition, installation documentation and monitoring/subscription requirement with your insurer. Approval and insurer acceptance must relate to your actual installation.
No assumptions about premiums
A security product does not automatically guarantee an insurance discount or policy acceptance. Speak to your insurer before ordering, and keep any required tracking subscription active.
