Motorhome Upgrade Alarm

Motorhome tracker alarmThis package includes a motorhome upgrade alarm system. We use the Autowatch 695 alarm which works with the original factory fitted van immobiliser. This is a Thatcham Category 2-1: Alarm Upgrade and is often required for insurance purposes.

This alarm system gives interior cabin protection via ultrasonic sensors, has a battery backup siren and protects the doors from being opened. Should a door be opened then the alarm will trigger the siren producing a loud piercing sound. There is no immobilisation with an alarm upgrade as this device relies on the original category 2 immobiliser.

For customers requiring an alarm system with its own immobilisation see link at the bottom of this page.

Disengage Interior Sensors

One of the nice features of this device is that the interior sensors can be disengaged. The procedure for different makes of van can vary, however for a Mercedes Vito simply lock the doors on the standard remote and lock again to knock out these sensors. See video at top of the page.

This feature is often called 'Pet Mode' and allows occupants to move around inside (or sleep inside) without triggering the alarm. However, should a door be opened then the siren will sound as normal.  

To turn this feature off simple unlock the van and lock again to return to normal.

S5 Tracker

This package comes with an S5 Tracker. We fit a Thatcham 'Category S5: Vehicle Tracking Systems' tracker with driver tag.

The unique tag must be present when the vehicle is in motion otherwise an alert is automatically sent to the tracker monitoring company. Should this happen then the recovery procedure will begin which starts with a phone call to the keeper asking about the status of the vehicle.

This package includes the first year's subscription and customers must then renew subscriptions to remain Insurance compliant.

Tracker App

Each tracker now comes with its own App. These can be downloaded from the Playstore or Appstore depending on phone platform.

These Apps give basic self tracking information on top of the monitored tracking required for car Insurance. They usually give location, journey history, driving score and geofencing, however the platform vary slightly between tracking companies.
