Understanding the product
What Is a Tracking Tag?
A tracking tag is a small, covert Bluetooth mesh device — approximately the size of a 50p coin — that silently monitors location without requiring a GPS signal. It is not a replacement for a GPS tracker. It is the second layer you add alongside one.
While your GPS tracker gives real-time location via satellite, a tracking tag works through Bluetooth mesh — a network of nearby devices that silently pass location data without anyone knowing. It works indoors, underground, and anywhere a GPS signal cannot reach, giving you coverage your GPS tracker alone cannot provide.
Crucially, the iTrackDirect Tracking Tag does not trigger proximity alerts on smartphones. Unlike consumer Bluetooth trackers, the person carrying it — including a thief — receives no warning of any kind. It is completely and permanently silent.
Think of it as your second layer of security — the hidden layer running quietly alongside your GPS tracker that only you know is there.
Common questions
Quick answers
No — and that is the point. A GPS tracker gives real-time location via satellite. A tracking tag uses Bluetooth mesh, which works where GPS cannot — inside buildings, underground, or in areas with no signal. They complement each other; they do not replace each other.
No. Consumer trackers like AirTags send a notification to nearby iPhones. The iTrackDirect Tracking Tag does not. The person carrying it will receive no alert — making it a genuinely covert second layer of security.
Because a GPS tracker is a known quantity — experienced thieves look for them and remove them. A hidden tracking tag is your backup: unknown, undetected, and still reporting location long after the GPS tracker has been found and discarded.
Approximately 50p coin size — roughly 25mm in diameter and 10mm thick. Small enough to hide inside practically anything, including inside vehicle panels, equipment cases, bags, and more.
Why two layers beats one
Your GPS Tracker Works Hard. This Makes It Work Harder.
A GPS tracker is excellent primary security. Adding a covert tracking tag alongside it creates a second, independent layer that the thief has no idea exists — and cannot remove because they do not know to look for it.
+1
An additional independent layer of location technology working silently alongside your GPS tracker — Bluetooth mesh that continues reporting even where GPS cannot reach.
Covert
Covert. The tracking tag is completely silent — no proximity alerts, a hidden backup that only you know is there.
2×
Two independent layers of security significantly increase the chance of recovery. The tracking tag is the layer that keeps working even when a thief looks for and removes everything else.
The iTrackDirect Tracking Tag is not a replacement for your GPS tracker — it is the natural companion to it. One layer is good. Two layers is significantly better.
What the second layer adds
Everything Your GPS Tracker Does — Plus What It Can't
Your GPS tracker covers the primary layer of protection. The iTrackDirect Tracking Tag sits silently alongside it — completely hidden, no GPS signal needed, no battery drain, no alerts to anyone — adding capabilities your GPS tracker simply cannot provide.
🔇 Sends No Alert to the Person Carrying It
Consumer Bluetooth trackers alert nearby iPhones. Experienced criminals know this. The iTrackDirect Tracking Tag does not send proximity alerts of any kind — to any device. It is entirely silent.
📡 Works Where GPS Cannot Reach
Stolen assets end up in lock-ups, shipping containers, underground car parks, and buildings. GPS loses signal in all of these. Bluetooth mesh does not — it passes location through nearby devices regardless of GPS coverage.
🔋 Up to 12 Months — No Charging
Because there is no GPS module constantly searching for a satellite signal, the tracking tag uses a fraction of the power. Hide it once and it keeps working for up to a year without any attention.
🪙 Small Enough to Hide Anywhere
At 50p coin size and 10mm thick, the tracking tag can be hidden inside panel gaps, equipment cases, bags, packaging, or anywhere else a thief would never think to look. If they do not know it exists, they cannot remove it.
Your GPS tracker is the first layer. The tracking tag is the second. Together, they create two completely independent lines of protection — one visible, one hidden, one satellite-based, one Bluetooth mesh. That combination is what serious protection looks like.
* The iTrackDirect Tracking Tag is a Bluetooth mesh location device. Location updates occur when networked devices pass nearby. It is not a real-time GPS tracking device.
Simple to set up — impossible to detect
How the Tracking Tag Works
No engineer visits. No wiring. No ongoing maintenance. Place it, register it, and forget it — until you need it.
1
Hide the Tag
Conceal the tracking tag inside your vehicle, equipment, bag, or asset. At 50p coin size it fits almost anywhere a thief would never think to look.
2
Login to our App
Download our app and enter the private login details e mailed to you after purchase. Manage multiple tags from one account — no technical knowledge needed.
3
It Stays Hidden
The tag operates completely silently — no lights, no sounds, no alerts to any device nearby. The person carrying it has absolutely no idea it is there.
4
Locate & Recover
As the tag moves past networked devices, location updates in your app. Share with law enforcement and recover what you might otherwise have lost.
Built for anyone who values what they own
Who Uses the Tracking Tag?
If you already have a GPS tracker and want a hidden backup, or if you have something valuable that deserves covert protection — the tracking tag is the answer.
Van & Vehicle Owners
Already have a tracker? Add a hidden tag as your backup layer — the one a thief will never find.
Plant & Machinery
Heavy equipment, forklifts, diggers — hide the tag inside where no one would ever look.
Fleet Operators
Protect every vehicle with a second covert layer alongside your existing fleet tracking system.
Motorcycles
Bikes are high-theft targets. A hidden tracking tag tucked inside bodywork is impossible to detect.
Marine & Leisure
Boats, trailers, caravans — seasonal assets that sit unattended for months. The 12-month battery is ideal.
High-Value Cargo
Shipments, pallets, and valuable goods in transit benefit from a covert tag no one knows is there.
Bags & Cases
Camera equipment, sports gear, musical instruments — anything valuable that travels with you.
Business Assets
Laptops, servers, AV equipment. A tracking tag hidden inside is the backup your IT security policy needs.
How it compares
Tracking Tag vs GPS Tracker vs Consumer Tracker
Three different technologies. Three different roles. Only one is completely covert and works without a GPS signal.

Common questions
Everything You Need to Know About the Tracking Tag
Answers to the most common questions about the iTrackDirect Tracking Tag and how it works as a second layer of security.
A tracking tag is a small Bluetooth mesh device — approximately 50p coin size — that silently monitors location without requiring a GPS signal. The iTrackDirect Tracking Tag is not a GPS tracker. It is a covert secondary security device designed to work alongside your existing GPS tracker as a hidden backup layer.
No — and it is not designed to. Your GPS tracker provides real-time location via satellite. The tracking tag is the hidden backup for when the GPS tracker is found and removed. They work together: one visible layer, one invisible layer.
Only if they physically find the device. The tracking tag does not send proximity alerts to smartphones — unlike consumer trackers such as AirTags. There is no notification, no ping, no signal broadcast that would reveal its presence. It is completely silent.
Bluetooth mesh uses nearby networked devices — phones, tablets, other Bluetooth-enabled equipment — to silently detect and pass along the tag's location. As the tag moves past these devices, its location is updated in the iTrackDirect app. No satellite signal is required, so it works indoors, underground, and anywhere GPS cannot reach.
Up to 12 months. Because there is no GPS module constantly searching for a satellite signal, the tracking tag uses far less power. Hide it once and it continues operating for up to a year with no maintenance. Battery replacement is simple when the time comes.
£29.99 inc VAT for the device, plus £3.00 per month subscription — PAYG, no contract, cancel any time. No hidden fees, no activation charges, no minimum term.
Yes. You can register and manage multiple tracking tags from a single iTrackDirect account, each monitored independently. Many customers place tags in several locations across the same asset for even deeper security layers.
Yes. Placing a tracking device inside your own vehicle or property is entirely legal. iTrackDirect always recommends working with law enforcement when you have location data following a theft or incident.
The biggest difference is the alert behaviour. AirTags send a notification to nearby iPhones — meaning the thief carrying your stolen asset is warned. The iTrackDirect Tracking Tag does not. Additionally, AirTags use Apple's Find My network only, while the iTrackDirect tag operates on its own Bluetooth mesh platform with no consumer device dependency.
iTrackDirect — a UK-based GPS and asset tracking specialist founded in 2006, based in Maidstone, Kent. Led by Darren, the business has 18+ years of experience protecting vehicles, plant, and assets. The tracking tag is the latest product in that long track record.
