What is the difference between an AirTag and a Tracer?

They are often very cheap, easy to place anywhere, and help quickly locate objects: AirTags. Why then choose a recovery system from Moving Intelligence?

AirTags and many other smart trackers have several limitations. If your car or other vehicle is stolen and you want to recover it, a Bluetooth-enabled smartphone must be nearby. Somewhere deep in the forests in Eastern Europe, in an abandoned industrial estate or perhaps in a container at the port, the chances of that are very slim. In addition, AirTags are easily detectable because they always emit a signal. Thieves can thus quickly find and remove the AirTag.

Our recovery system sends the GPS position once a day. In case of theft, we step up the frequency so that you and we can quickly see the exact location, wherever that is. When GPS location is not possible, we use radio signals. This is how we find 94% of objects. So a smartphone nearby is not necessary.

Suppose your car, motorhome, boat or other object is stolen and you do see where it is now with the AirTag, it is highly doubtful whether your possession will be recovered. You may have to make a long journey and gain access to a location where you are not allowed or able to go. Or you may not get the cooperation of local authorities, such as police, who have other priorities at the time. With our Class TV01 recovery system with recovery service, we take that worry off your hands. Immediately after theft and (automatic) notification to the 24/7 alarm centre, our specially trained in-house investigation team goes into action, all over Europe. And we return the object as quickly as possible. All you have to do is report it. And we can help you with that, too.

Yet more advantages of our retrieval system:

• Non-traceable
• Lifetime of 5 years (Apple AirTag: 1 year)
• Certified and therefore already approved and often required by insurers
• Waterproof
• Installed by certified installers
