33drifter Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 Hey Guys, i just recieved an email to say that Quiktrak is going under. So as of today my car has no tracking. What is everyone else using, is there a self monitoring system available?? Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/236437-quiktrak/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
inmate Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 (edited) *&^%^&^% !!! I just paid $400 2 weeks ago for 12 months monitoring. What a joke! ETA. Rang Quiktrak and have been advised they are still monitoring untill further notice. ATM it is in the hands of the aministrators & I should give them a call tomorrow...

danielr34 Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 We have a self monitoring GPS Tracking system which works via sms commands and has 2 modes, one mode will trigger off an alarm and send you the GPS coordinates of your vehicle as well as speed (if applicable), the other mode will work as a track only which will send coordinates every hour via sms (more commonly used for fleet monitoring). These modes can be interchanged as easily as an sms. There are no annual fees or charges just the cost of the text messages. We also have a self monitoring GSM Paging system which will also send you an sms when alarm is triggered or when battery voltage is low and with this sytem you can unlock doors via sms and do a remote fuel shutdown via sms. This can also be used to track if using a Telstra or Optus sim card you can track the location of the sim card (Note not as accurate as GPS but approximately within 100m to 200m. Both these systems cost half the price you would pay for most other tracking product and have no monitoring fees! As for Quiktrak I don't think they were ever on a profit they always needed funding and it was just a matter of time.

GTR-N1 Posted September 19, 2008 Share Posted September 19, 2008 *&^%^&^% !!!I just paid $400 2 weeks ago for 12 months monitoring. What a joke! ETA. Rang Quiktrak and have been advised they are still monitoring untill further notice. ATM it is in the hands of the aministrators & I should give them a call tomorrow... I'd also check with Dept Of Fair Trading (DFT) to ascertain if Quiktrak knew that they were in financial difficulty 2 weeks ago in order to make a claim. If u r in Sydney, Murray Wilton on Talk-Back 2GB frequently has one the heads of DFT between 7pm and 9pm. You can jump the queue by calling them on radio at the same time.

carlo Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 gang.. this is the 2nd time this has happened to quiktrak. Last time someone rescued the company, now it may or may not happen again. I would wait a few weeks before pulling out the systems. Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/236437-quiktrak/#findComment-4146509 Share on other sites More sharing options...
