Motorcycle GPS trackers. Where in Phnom Penh?
Re: Motorcycle GPS trackers. Where in Phnom Penh?
Lots of replies, full of unwanted opinions and advice, but no answer to the question.
No worries, got the answer I wanted with one question to a Khmer friend.
Tracker is installed, with remote engine cut out feature for $40 and $1 a month fee.
PS. Not much different to TOF.

After having this for awhile, report back to us on whether it flattens the battery, and if so how long does it take.LaudJohn wrote: ↑Wed Dec 12, 2018 12:00 am Lots of replies, full of unwanted opinions and advice, but no answer to the question.

A lot of people have motorbikes stolen. This may be a worthwhile option for others.
I know someone who has had 3 motorbikes stolen.

Re: Motorcycle GPS trackers. Where in Phnom Penh?
The first sign of madness is doing the same thing again and again, and expecting to get different results.
After the first one, I would be saying, what do I need to do differently?
I would get a chain and lock, for example.
If it was stolen from a guest house, I would probably move to another guest house.
Theft occurs much less in places with security cameras.
I am interested in knowing more about the GPS trackers, and whether they really turn out to work well.
I have a bicycle. I bought an alarm which will go off if the bicycle is moved. I have never been in a situation to use it. I stay in guest houses where I keep the bicycle inside. The also have security cameras. The bicycle gets moved often, as other bicycles and motorbikes come and go. There would be too many false alarms, which would disturb everybody.
If the GPS flattens the battery too quickly, that will be a problem. If the GPS is in a place where it can easily be removed, then it may not be very effective.

The most effective way of not having your bicycle stolen is to remove the front wheel . It certainly slows the thieves down.

Because they can’t pick up those heavy bicycles.

Re: Motorcycle GPS trackers. Where in Phnom Penh?
That is a good idea if you are going away for some time, but it is too inconvenient to do every time you get off your bike.
Another challenge with a bicycle is lights. You should have good lights. But lights get stolen. Cambodians also touch everything. They turn on lights to see them working. You may not always notice. When night time comes the battery is flat. I finished up with a small light I could put in my pocket, but the battery life is too short. I am trying to work out a way to have good lights, which can easily be removed for recharging, but wont get stolen.

I only ride my bike when there's a full moon.

Re: Motorcycle GPS trackers. Where in Phnom Penh?
Spybike and spytec trackers do not rely on motorcycle batteries. They have their own built-in battery and obviously need to be recharged regularly, but I think the battery life of the seatpost and top tracker is quite long. The battery life of these devices can last for two weeks or more, and the accuracy of the tracking is generally good for our purposes.LaudJohn wrote: ↑Mon Dec 10, 2018 5:00 pm Hi All,
