Meta Trak S5 Deadlock Pro: The Ultimate Car Security System
The Meta Trak S5 Deadlock Pro is a cutting-edge vehicle tracking and immobilisation system that offers high-level protection from modern theft methods such as relay attacks, OBD port tampering, and key cloning. Approved by Thatcham, this system meets the highest security standards, making it insurance-approved and highly recommended by UK insurers.
Let’s examine the details of what makes the Meta Trak S5 Deadlock Pro a leading choice for vehicle security, focusing on its key features and benefits and why it’s an essential tool for car owners who value advanced protection.
Key Features of Meta Trak S5 Deadlock Pro
Thatcham Category S5 Approved:
The Meta Trak S5 Deadlock Pro meets the stringent security standards set by Thatcham Research, a leading independent organisation known for its rigorous vehicle safety and security testing. This certification not only offers peace of mind but also helps lower car insurance premiums, as many insurers provide discounts for vehicles fitted with Thatcham-approved devices.
GPS Tracking & Real-Time Location:
The system utilises multiple satellite systems (GPS, Galileo, and GLONASS) for accurate real-time tracking. Whether your vehicle is stationary or in motion, the Meta Trak S5 Deadlock Pro allows you always to monitor its exact location through a dedicated mobile app.
Automatic Engine Immobilisation:
The S5 Deadlock Pro's standout feature is automatic engine immobilisation. The system arms itself when the driver’s Bluetooth-enabled ID tag is out of range, preventing the car from being started without the tag present. This proximity-based technology is a strong deterrent against theft methods like relay attacks and key cloning.
Remote Immobilisation - The Deadlock Feature:
Besides automatic immobilisation, the Deadlock feature allows you to remotely immobilise your vehicle using a smartphone app or web portal. Remote immobilisation ensures your car cannot be started even if your Bluetooth ID tags are present, offering an additional layer of security.
OBD Port Protection:
Many modern thefts involve manipulating a vehicle’s onboard diagnostics (OBD) port. The Meta Trak S5 Deadlock Pro includes an OBD port immobiliser, which prevents unauthorised access and protects your vehicle from being hacked through the OBD port. This feature blocks any communication between the port and the vehicle’s electronics, making it virtually impossible for thieves to start the vehicle using digital tools.
Driver Recognition via Bluetooth ID Tags:
The system uses small, battery-powered Bluetooth ID tags that must be present for the vehicle to start. Without the ID tag, the system will alert you and the Meta Trak monitoring team, who will contact you to confirm if a theft is in progress. This adds another layer of protection, ensuring only authorised individuals can operate your vehicle.
Wireless Link Architecture:
The Meta Trak S5 DEADLOCK PRO’s tracking device communicates wirelessly with both immobilisers using a hidden and encrypted Bluetooth low-energy link, providing a more secure and covert installation. This technology allows all system components to be installed in different areas of the vehicle. This ensures that the system cannot be defeated by discovering just one part of it. It also ensures that thieves cannot simply trace connected wiring straight to the tracking system, unlike other systems on the market. Additionally, it enables the communication of the vehicle's ignition status wirelessly, aiding in the covertness and security of the installation of the tracking system and ultimately increasing the chances of recovery in the event of theft.
Benefits of the Meta Trak S5 Deadlock Pro
Insurance-Approved Tracker:
As a Thatcham S5 accredited product, the Meta Trak S5 Deadlock Pro qualifies as an insurance-approved system, helping you potentially lower your insurance premiums. Insurers increasingly recognise the importance of combined or multi-point security systems that include a tracker and immobiliser to combat modern digital theft; they often offer discounts for vehicles fitted with these types of Thatcham-Approved systems.
Protection from Relay Attacks:
Relay attacks, where thieves amplify the signal from a car key inside a house to unlock and start a vehicle, is one of the most common modern theft methods. The Meta Trak S5 Deadlock Pro’s proximity-based immobilisation and secure ID tags protect your vehicle from this theft, as the car cannot be started without the tag being physically present.
Advanced Theft Alerts:
The system continuously monitors your vehicle’s status, and in the event of any suspicious activity—such as unauthorised movement or battery disconnection—it sends instant alerts to your smartphone and Meta Trak’s secure operating centre. This ensures a rapid response to any potential threats.
Meta Trak Mobile App and Web Portal
