TrakShield – Covert Tracker Subscription-free GPS tracking & theft recovery. TrakShield gives you advanced, subscription-free GPS tracking with built-in theft recovery. It is designed to keep your assets safe and hidden from criminals who scan for trackers. Key Features: β€’ Interval Tracking & Stealth Mode – the device broadcasts intermittently (for under 60 seconds) making it hard to detect with common GPS scanners. β€’ Theft Mode Activation – if your asset is stolen, activate Theft Mode for frequent updates to aid recovery. β€’ TrakShield Recovery Service – choose to share asset location with police or enable our recovery team to attempt recovery on your behalf. β€’ Manage Multiple Devices – link and control all your TrakShield units in one app. β€’ Safe Zones / Addresses – set trusted locations to suppress alerts and avoid unnecessary notifications. β€’ Push Notifications & Alerts – get instant updates on movement or theft events. β€’ Battery-Optimized Operation – long battery life (approx. 2 years under default settings) thanks to efficient update scheduling. β€’ Thatcham S7 Certified – meets standards insurers use for theft recovery eligibility. How It Works: Install your TrakShield device discreetly in your asset (vehicle, motorbike, etc.). Pair it in the app; configure safe zones, intervals, and alerts. In case of theft, activate Theft Mode for enhanced updates. Choose whether to involve police or our recovery service. Monitor or recover your asset with support from TrakShield. Why TrakShield? Ordinary trackers send constant signals, making them easier to detect and remove. TrakShield avoids this by transmitting only at intervals, keeping your device hidden and effective. Important Notes: β€’ The app requires a TrakShield hardware device. β€’ Recovery services may require a subscription or activation fee depending on your plan. β€’ Always report theft to local law enforcement first and obtain a crime reference number before initiating recovery. Keep your valued assets safeβ€”discreetly, effectively, and with peace of mind. Download TrakShield today.
