Key Features

Everything you need. Nothing you don't.

📞

Instant Phone Call & Push Alert

When CarWatch detects unauthorised ignition or movement, you receive both a direct phone call and a push notification to your mobile ensuring you never miss a critical alert.

📍

Real-Time GPS Location

The active tracker streams your vehicle's live location continuously. If your vehicle is stolen, you and authorities have a real-time view of exactly where it is at all times.

🛡️

Dual Tracker Security

CarWatch uses two tracking devices per vehicle. The backup battery-powered device means there's half the chance of thieves finding both — and double the chance of recovery.

📱

One-Tap App Control

Activate or deactivate CarWatch with a single tap on the Cartrack app, available on both iOS and Android. No complex setup, no special skills required.

💰

Affordable Monthly Subscription

All-inclusive subscription covers hardware, SIM card, data, and monitoring in one package. No hidden costs. No lock-in contracts. Cancel on your terms.

🔒

Discreet by Design

CarWatch deliberately omits panic buttons, sirens, and start inhibit features that can alert thieves to the presence of a tracking device. Discreet, effective, and silent protection.

Why CarWatch Is Different

Designed to stay hidden.
Built to recover.

Unlike conventional vehicle security systems, CarWatch is deliberately discreet. Features that announce a tracking device's presence are intentionally excluded — because alerting a thief to the system undermines the entire point.

CarWatch has omitted the following features by design:

  • Panic buttons
  • Audible sirens
  • Start inhibit
  • Early warning indicators
Discreet & Effective

Silent protection.
Powerful recovery.

CarWatch focuses on what actually matters: detecting unauthorised use instantly and giving you and authorities the live GPS data needed to recover your vehicle without tipping off the thief that a tracker is present.

Vehicle Theft in New Zealand

New Zealand has a vehicle theft problem.

AMI Insurance reported 17,000 vehicle theft claims in 2023 — an average of 46 per day. While that dropped to 12,000 claims in 2024 (33 daily), vehicle theft remains a significant and costly risk for New Zealand drivers.

The vehicles most targeted include the Toyota Aqua and Toyota Hilux. Theft hotspots span the country's major regions.
