If anybody is aware of an effective tracking system that they now works let me know. I have come across a number of companies who manufacture and supply this equipment. Having used some of the kit from Eskan I have found the quality is pretty good however I have not tested the MT2000, I have been told it has a range of between two to three miles (depending on conditions) http://www.eskan.com/MT2000.html. The other company is Carbug http://www.carbug.co.uk who have basically taken a GPS tracker and GSM Cellphone stuck them in a box and called it carbug, truckbug etc. My only fear with this company is I had a meeting with them a couple of years ago and they seem to appear then disapear if you now what I mean. In other words I don't know how credible they are. Carbug - the method in which you track the vehicle is to conect you PC to a GSM dialup modem and a map is displayed on you screen indicating the location. Finally, the last company I spoke with Datong Electronics www.datong.co.uk informed me they did do such a device however, they only sold it to MOD, law enforcements etc so no joy there. In the past we have built covert wireless CCD Camera kits (2.4Ghz) for some of our retail customers, for example, we have stuffed them into a mobile phone box and stuck it on a rack in a warehouse and with battery power of about 8 hours it works pretty well. I am aware that battery power is always an issue, however we only need to have up to 10 hours power and it dosn't matter within reason the size of the kit, as long as it fits in the case. I don't care what country I have to source it from I just want to ensure it works and is priced competitively. For the members in the UK / Eire come early 2003 you will now what this is all about in much greater detail. http://groups.yahoo.com/group/TSCM-L/message/6308
