Frequently Asked
Questions

We provide the ultimate tracking solution for fleet managers' peace of mind.

Can I remotely disable a vehicle or asset?

Yes! With Trackhawk's Kill Switch Trackers (VL03 and TH75), you can instantly disable a vehicle's starter or ignition system from anywhere using our mobile app or web dashboard.

How it works: The kill switch function is available on compatible vehicle trackers Log into the Trackhawk GPS app on your phone or computer Select the vehicle you want to disable Tap the "Enable Killswitch" button The vehicle will be unable to start until you reactivate it

You can also set up Smart GPS automation to disable your vehicle automatically under certain conditions, such as: 

  • If it leaves a designated area without authorization
  • If it moves during restricted hours If tampering is detected This remote disable feature gives you powerful control over your vehicle's security, even when you're miles away.

How does the system work to keep non-vehicle assets safe?

For non-vehicle assets like trailers, equipment, or valuables that don't have an ignition system to disable, Trackhawk GPS provides several layers of GPS security:

  • Real-Time Location Tracking - Always know exactly where your assets are located
  • Movement Alerts - Receive instant notifications if an asset moves unexpectedly
  • Geofence Boundaries - Get alerts if assets leave approved areas
  • Tamper Detection - Be notified of any attempt to remove or disable the tracker
  • Historical Tracking - See where assets have been over time to identify unauthorized use

Our Trailer Tracker (TH07) and Magnetic Tracker (TH-MAG) are specifically designed for non-vehicle assets, with: Weather-resistant construction for outdoor use Long battery life to reduce maintenance Compact, concealable design to prevent detection Easy installation without wiring or professional help When combined with our Smart GPS alerts, these trackers help you quickly respond to potential theft and provide valuable location data to authorities if recovery becomes necessary.

How quickly can a stolen vehicle be recovered?

Trackhawk GPS significantly increases recovery speed for stolen vehicles, often leading to recovery within hours instead of days—or preventing theft altogether. Key factors that speed up recovery:

  • Real-Time Tracking - Our devices update location as frequently as every 30 seconds when in motion
  • Smart Kill Switch - Remotely disable the vehicle to prevent it from being driven further
  • Instant Alerts - Know immediately when unauthorized movement occurs
  • Precise Location Data - Provide authorities with exact coordinates, not just general areas
  • Continuous Updates - Track the vehicle's movement in real-time as recovery efforts proceed

Our customers report recovery times averaging just 2-4 hours from theft to recovery when working with local authorities. Some have recovered vehicles in as little as 30 minutes after theft was detected. The sooner you're aware of theft, the quicker recovery can happen—which is why our Smart GPS automated alerts are so valuable for rapid response.

Is there a way to notify me if a tracker has been tampered with?

Yes! All Trackhawk GPS devices include tamper detection technology that sends immediate alerts if someone attempts to disable or remove your tracker. Our anti-tamper features include:

  • Power Disconnection Alerts - Notification if the tracker loses its power connection
  • Backup Battery Activation - Internal batteries keep the tracker working even if external power is cut
  • Movement Sensing - Detect unusual movement patterns that might indicate tampering
  • Signal Jamming Detection - Alerts if signal blocking devices are detected nearby
  • Device Removal Detection - Sensors that can detect if the device is being forcibly removed

You'll receive these alerts instantly through:

  • Push notifications on your mobile app
  • Email alerts Text messages (optional)

With these tamper alerts, you'll know immediately if someone is trying to compromise your security system, giving you time to respond before a theft can occur.

What are geofences and how do they help keep my vehicles safe?

Geofences are virtual boundaries you create on a map around specific areas using the Trackhawk GPS app. Think of them as invisible fences that trigger alerts when your vehicles or assets cross them. How geofences enhance security:

  • Create Safe Zones - Define areas where your vehicles should be (like your business, home, or job sites)
  • Set Restricted Areas - Mark locations your vehicles should never enter I
  • nstant Boundary Alerts - Receive immediate notifications when a boundary is crossed
  • Automated Responses - With Smart GPS, crossing boundaries can automatically trigger the kill switch on compatible devices
  • Customizable Shapes and Sizes - Set precise boundaries from small parking lots to entire cities
  • Multiple Geofences - Create different boundaries for different vehicles or times of day

Common security applications:

  • Get alerted if your vehicle leaves your property overnight
  • Receive notification if company vehicles enter unauthorized areas
  • Set up "no-go zones" for teen drivers
  • Create a secure perimeter around valuable equipment at job sites
  • Automatically disable vehicles that leave approved operational areas

With geofences, you're not just tracking your vehicles after they're stolen—you're creating a proactive security system that alerts you at the first sign of unauthorized movement.
