A Vehicle Tracking System In Every Family Car
A vehicle tracking system consists of a device placed in a car, truck, boat, RV, ATV or other vehicle which works with tracking software or a tracking service to locate the vehicle if it should be lost or stolen. This is the most basic function of a vehicle tracking system. But there are many other benefits of installing a GPS tracking system of one kind or another in all of your family's vehicles.
Locating a stolen vehicle is the most obvious use of a vehicle tracking system. It could save enough time for police to be able to apprehend the thief before the vehicle is damaged. It is such a valuable tool in finding stolen vehicles that insurance companies offer discounts on auto insurance of 5 - 15% if a device is installed in a vehicle. For some families, it will also make sense to install a simple tracking device in every farm, construction or recreational vehicle also.
If you choose a more sophisticated vehicle tracking system, it can do many additional things that will help you protect your property and - most important - your family. Some devices are pre-programmed to detect erratic driving. This could alert you to an unauthorized driver. It could also alert you that the person driving is experiencing a medical emergency. By choosing a device mounted on the dash board that includes a camera, you can even find out who is driving and why their driving is out of control.
A vehicle tracking system can also be used for spying or tracking the activities of family members. This benefit can, of course, have both positive and negative implications. You can use it to track the movements and activities of teenagers or of a spouse if you have reason to suspect them of undesirable activity. But there are several very positive uses, as well. A vehicle tracking system in the car of an aging parent or a parent with Alzheimer's Disease can protect their autonomy while assuring you that their driving is safe or knowing where they are at all times in case they become lost.
The ability of some vehicle tracking system equipment to track driving habits can also make them a valuable driving instruction tool for teens or other new drivers. Your system can be programmed to track driving speed, cornering speed, how quickly the driver accelerates after a stop, idle time at a location, and other safe and efficient driving habits.
Reviewing driving practices can help a new driver improve their skills quickly and efficiently. Safe and efficient driving habits by all drivers can reduce fuel consumption, reduce fuel costs, and help to protect the environment. Some vehicle tracking system equipment can even be programmed to provide an alert when it is time for the engine to be serviced and when the tires are improperly inflated.
The GPS driving directions provided with your vehicle tracking system will also have benefits for your family. Each driver will be able to find the most fuel efficient, the fastest or the most direct route to each destination. You can eliminate the worry of a family member getting lost in the wrong neighborhood and being in danger. With some vehicle tracking systems you can also use the GPS tracking to monitor the route and provide both an alert and a detour if there is an accident or other traffic slowdown ahead.
The geo-fencing option in many systems can be used in several ways. You can use it to "geo-fence" areas customarily traveled by your family so that you will receive an alert if the vehicle leaves the 'fenced' zone. Geo-fencing can also be used to protect aging parents or teen-aged drivers.
A vehicle tracking system can do so much more than simply locate a stolen vehicle. It can help you protect every member of your family, make driving easier, reduce fuel and insurance costs, and much more. As you watch every driver in the family become safer drivers and you know your family is safer, you can relax in the knowledge that you have made a wise decision. - 2368
