Scorpion Track

S5+ vs S7 — which tracker do you need?

Both are Thatcham-approved and 24/7 monitored. Here's how to choose.

Scorpion Track produces two Thatcham-approved monitoring tiers: S5+ and S7. Both are backed by a 24/7 secure operating centre that monitors your vehicle and works with police to recover it if stolen. The key difference is Driver ID.

The S5+ system includes ADR Driver ID tags — small fobs carried by authorised drivers. If the vehicle moves without a recognised tag present, the monitoring centre is alerted straight away. This makes S5+ particularly effective against key-clone and relay theft, and is typically required by insurers for prestige and high-value vehicles.

The S7 system provides certified Thatcham GPS tracking and 24/7 monitored recovery without the Driver ID layer — a strong, insurance-friendly standard for everyday vehicles.

Can I upgrade from S7 to S5+ later?
