1. Remote control & convenience

• To activate a theft-prevention device, you don’t have to physically access the vehicle (phone/app or keyfob) – the vehicle can be immobilised or re-enabled from anywhere.

• Useful for repossession, rentals, or stopping a stolen vehicle in real time.

2. Real-time response

• Our system is combined with  GPS/telematics, this allows for actions to be taken as soon as suspicious activity is detected (e.g., locking the vehicle’s engine if it leaves an allowed zone).

• A faster response reduces the amount of time thieves have to move the vehicle.

3. Integration with telematics & recovery tools

• TrackN’s Remote Engine Immobiliser is integrated with tracking systems, geofencing, remote diagnostics, and alerts – so you can monitor and control your vehicles.

• It is possible for fleet managers to manage many vehicles remotely from a central location with TrackN’s Portal.

4. Flexible, temporary immobilisation

• It is possible to use it selectively (e.g., disable ignition) or schedule it for certain times of day (e.g., disable after hours), without modifying the vehicle permanently.

5. Less visible/less intrusive

• Our Remote Mote Engine Immobilisers are hidden and are much harder to bypass. There are no large physical locks or steering-wheel devices that can be easily bypassed.

6. Business & insurance benefits

• Combined with monitoring, remote immobilisation reduces loss and reduces insurance premiums in rental fleets, equipment hire, and corporate fleets.

• Improves the efficiency of repossessions and theft responses by reducing administrative costs and time.

How they compare to other common options

• Traditional electronic immobiliser (factory fitted) — good baseline security, passive (works automatically), but cannot be controlled remotely and offers no recovery options.

• Mechanical locks (steering wheel, pedal locks) — visible deterrent, cheap, no electronics, but bulky, easy to defeat with time, and inconvenient for users.

• Kill switches/hardwired cuts — effective if hidden, but require physical access to re-enable and can be risky if installed improperly.

• RFID/keyfob-only systems — convenient, but can be cloned or relayed if not using secure protocols.

• GPS trackers (no immobiliser) — excellent for recovery but cannot prevent the initial theft (only locate afterwards).
