Vehicle theft is one of the fastest growing crimes globally as thieves have turned to employing highly advanced equipment like GSM signal jammers and signal masking.

In the past 3 years, vehicle theft in the United States has surged, with annual incidents surpassing one million, according to the National Insurance Crime Bureau (NICB). 

According to motoringresearch.com the number of vehicles stolen in the United Kingdom has increased by 126.32% and 51.76% in the year 2022 and 2023 respectively. 

This escalating trend poses significant risks, not only for vehicle owners but also for financial institutions, with some companies reporting losses of up to 12.5% due to theft. As thieves grow increasingly sophisticated, traditional vehicle trackers become less effective. However, a comprehensive, turnkey Stolen Vehicle Recovery Solution has the potential to mitigate these risks, reducing theft-related losses to as low as 2%.

Global Facts on SVR

• 80% of accidents occur during the night
• 159 vehicles are stolen daily
• Annual recovery of stolen vehicles 24%

Queclink SVR Combo Solutions

Queclink’s reliable combo solution combines a wired vehicle tracker and a ghost asset tracker with internal 3-year battery life, which has a dual tracking mode.

The dual-device setup offers a highly effective solution against vehicle theft by combining a visible wired tracker with a covert ghost device. Here’s how it works:

• The wired tracker functions as a standard telematics device, delivering real-time vehicle data.
• The ghost device, compact and discreet, is hidden inside the vehicle in silent mode, making it difficult for thieves to detect.

Both devices are linked via a covert wireless connection. If this connection is disrupted—often the goal of thieves attempting to disable the wired tracker—a warning is sent to the server. In response, the ghost device switches from silent mode to emergency mode, allowing it to:

• Begin transmitting real-time location data independently of the wired tracker.
• Create a backup tracking system, making it easier to locate the vehicle even if the primary device is compromised.

This system presents an additional layer of security, significantly increasing the chances of recovery if a theft attempt occurs.

Teltonika SVR Combo Solutions

Teltonika SVR solution not only detects GSM jamming but also GNSS signal jamming. When the GSM/GNSS signal jamming is detected the automotive relay connected to the vehicle starter will prevent the engine from starting.

The Teltonika SVR solution can detect jamming and automatically activate a digital output to trigger a buzzer alarm to distract thieves or initiate central vehicle engine block.

How it Works

The primary tracker (FMB965/FMB920) transmits data packets via BLE technology to the secondary tracker (TAT100) in a one-way communication process; the TAT100 does not send data back to the primary tracker. If the TAT100 stops receiving data from the primary tracker, it enters recovery mode. In this mode, it assumes the primary tracker is lost/non-operational and sends an alarm notification. The TAT100 then assumes the role of the primary tracker, periodically transmitting recovery alarm records until the issue is resolved
