Covert GPS Tracking
Covert GPS tracking has a number of different uses. The devices can be used to track your children, your employees, and even to keep track of your vehicle in case it is ever stolen.
Most covert GPS tracking devices are meant to track vehicles. The type of technology that is required to track individuals is often so costly or hard to get that it is well outside the scope of most ordinary citizens, but it is actually surprisingly accessible to track vehicles.
Some covert GPS tracking devices run on batteries, so their operating time is quite limited. Those that are hidden will generally only track for a few hours before they must have their batteries charged or replaced.
A few models have a sensor that detects movement. When the unit isn’t moving, the device will power down to conserve battery power, putting itself into sleep mode until the target that is being tracked begins to move again.
There are also devices that can be “hidden in plain sight”. They look like standard GPS devices, and are often plugged into the car’s cigarette lighter for power. This means they can track for a practically unlimited amount of time, as long as they can continue to draw power.
If you wanted to track someone like your spouse or child, you could place one of these devices in the car, and they would think they were just a standard GPS unit. There would be no reason for suspicion, so you could track them without worrying that the device would be discovered and removed.
There are different methods of tracking available to different devices. Some units will send you a text message if the target moves into certain zones. Others can be tracked in real time with a computer.
Most units require a monthly fee for service, but not all do. Some units only require a one-time fee, but these units can be costly. The average price range depends on the type of unit, but the range generally starts at around $100 and may go up into the thousands, depending on the size and functionality of the unit.
If you are hoping for a unit that can be hidden in a purse or pocket, I recommend giving serious consideration to the Amber Alert™ model featured above. It's afforable, powerful, and can be used across a wide variety of tracking applications.
