The Difference Between Vehicle Tracking and Traditional Security System

🔐 The Difference Between Vehicle Tracking and Traditional Security Systems

Most Zimbabwean drivers are familiar with car alarms, gear locks, and immobilizers. While these tools can help, they don’t always stop determined thieves. Vehicle tracking offers an extra layer of protection.

🚨 Traditional Security Systems

Car Alarms: Make noise to alert you or scare away thieves.

Immobilizers: Prevent the car from starting without the right key.

Steering/gear locks: Physical barriers that slow down theft.


✅ These tools are useful, but they only work at the moment of theft. If the car is successfully stolen, recovery is often difficult.
