A vehicle tracking system is an electronic device installed in a vehicle to enable the owner or a third party to track the vehicle's location. Most modern vehicle tracking systems use Global Positioning System (GPS) modules for accurate location of the vehicle. Many systems also combine a communications component such as cellular or satellite transmitters to communicate the vehicle’s location to a remote user. Vehicle information can be viewed on electronic maps via the Internet or specialized software.
Current vehicle tracking systems have their roots in the shipping industry. Corporations with large fleets of vehicles required some sort of system to determine where each vehicle was at any given time. Vehicle tracking systems can now also be found in consumers vehicles as a theft prevention and retrieval device. Police can follow the signal emitted by the tracking system to locate a stolen vehicle.
Many vehicle tracking systems are now using or a form of automatic vehicle location (AVL) to allow for easy location of the vehicle. The GPS satellite system was built and is maintained by government and is available at no cost to civilians. This makes this technology very inexpensive. Other AVL systems do not require the antenna to be in direct line of sight with the sky. Terrestrial based systems such as LORAN and LoJack tracking units use radio frequency (RF) transmitters which will transmit through walls, garages, or buildings. Many police cruisers around the world have a form of AVL tracking as standard equipment in their vehicles.
Some vehicle tracking systems charge the user a monthly subscription for a bundle that includes mapping software, hardware, installation, and tracking service. Other companies offer units that are paid for upon installation and will continue to work for the life of the vehicle. The decision to adopt an active technology based on RF (e.g. LORAN), satellite or public carrier (e.g. CDMA) is driven by the quantity of information, the frequency of updates, and the physical environment of the device. For example a fleet manager may want 5 minute updates, telling whether a vehicle is on or off, or may want 30 second updates tracking engine vitals, brake status, container status, vehicle speed and direction and so on.

When your vehicle or equipment is broken into, stolen, has not been returned on time, you are left with the question "WHERE IS IT?" This question is easily answered when you have a UniTracking VTU system installed.
 If your vehicle alarm is tripped and you can't hear the siren do you believe that there is someone who really cares and will call police ? The fact is that most people don't, and think its just another annoying false alarm. Ask yourself how many times in a day you hear an alarm going off and you get involved by calling the police.
Lets face the reality that most people don't call police and would not approach a criminal and put themselves in harms way. When your vehicle is under a security threat, the only person that really cares is you! If you are unable to know when your vehicle is being broken into or stolen, you are unable to take any action. Criminals know this, and breaking into a vehicle or stealing it is a simple task, and in many cases a lucrative occupation.
