When people hear the term “vehicle tracking,” they often think of a device that provides a vehicle’s location every second of every day. While some products are designed for continuous tracking, a stolen vehicle recovery device serves a different purpose.

Its primary job is to help recover your vehicle if it’s ever stolen.

How Does a Stolen Vehicle Recovery Device Work?

A stolen vehicle recovery device remains installed in your vehicle and operates in a battery-efficient mode during normal day-to-day use. It performs scheduled system checks and provides periodic location updates.

If the vehicle is reported stolen, the device changes how it operates. It switches into recovery mode and begins providing more frequent location updates to support the recovery process and assist law enforcement.

How Is It Different From a GPS Tracker?

A traditional GPS tracker is intended for continuous location monitoring and may provide frequent or real-time updates.

However, our technology is specifically designed to help recover a stolen vehicle. Rather than constantly transmitting its location, it focuses on reliable recovery when a theft occurs.

Why Choose a Stolen Vehicle Recovery Device?

Vehicle theft can happen anywhere and often without warning. Having a FortiTrak device installed can provide an additional layer of protection by helping locate your vehicle in the event of a theft.

A stolen vehicle recovery device is designed with one purpose in mind: helping increase the chances of recovering your vehicle after a theft.

Understanding how stolen vehicle recovery works is the first step towards protecting your vehicle. At FortiTrak, we’re proud to provide technology designed to support recovery when it’s needed most.
