Police & Emergency Vehicle Tracking: Lights, Siren and Safety Alerts

For public safety vehicles, location is only half the record. We wire lights, siren, panic button, gun lock and K9 temperature into the tracker, so the platform shows what the unit was doing, not just where it was.

Fleet installs from $65 per vehicle. Testing a few vehicles first? We do pilot installs too.

What do we monitor on police and emergency vehicles?

Each picture shows the part that gets wired into the tracker, circled in red. These are illustrations, not photos of customer trucks. The sections below explain how each one is monitored.

How are emergency lights recorded?

The light bar controller has an on output. Wired to the tracker, it records when lights were on, with speed and location, which is used for pursuit reviews and incident reports.

Can siren use be logged?

Yes. The siren controller's output goes to its own input, so siren use is logged alongside the lights.

How does a panic button work with the tracker?

A hidden button wired to a tracker input sends an alert with the vehicle's location the moment it is pressed. It suits code enforcement, security and any driver working alone.

Can a gun lock be monitored?

Yes. Electronic weapon locks have a release signal. Wired in, it records when the lock was released, with the time and place.

What does a K9 temperature alert do?

A temperature sensor in the kennel area reports to the tracker, and the platform alerts when it gets too hot or too cold. It works alongside the heat alarm many K9 units already have.

Why track an amber beacon?

On work trucks the amber beacon goes on at work zones. Its on signal records time at each work zone, for public works and utility crews.

What does the office see once it is wired in?

How do we wire and test it?

We meter every signal before we use it, so the tracker records the equipment actually working, not a switch that was only requested. Power connections are fused, wiring is secured away from heat and moving parts, and each input is tested with the equipment running before the truck goes back out. Wire colors for the truck side are in our Vehicle Wiring Database. See all the equipment we monitor for the other trucks and equipment we wire in.
