Vehicle GPS trackers increasingly operate on 2G GSM and 4G LTE networks, making them difficult to detect because they use the same frequencies as legitimate in-vehicle systems such as eCall, fleet management, and telematics.
– Bug Detect provides a solution to detect and identify these cellular GPS trackers.
Complicating matters further, today’s vehicles often contain numerous legitimate cellular-enabled systems.
These may include:
The challenge is no longer simply detecting cellular activity.
The challenge is determining:
Traditional vehicle inspections rely on detecting active RF transmissions, an approach that is increasingly ineffective against modern cellular trackers. To extend battery life and reduce detection risk, many trackers employ aggressive power-management strategies.
Others may only communicate when:
As a result, a tracker can remain entirely undetected during a conventional short-duration inspection despite being fully operational.
Not all tracking devices behave the same way.
Which is why Bug Detect’s GPS Tracker Detection identifies both continuously transmitting trackers and low-duty-cycle (intermittent) devices designed to minimize detection by transmitting only at periodic intervals.
Continuous-Transmission Devices
These include trackers that:
Intermittent or Low-Duty-Cycle Devices
These include trackers that:
