Vehicle Tracking Services for Investigations
Confidential Investigation, Surveillance & Security Services
Professional GPS Vehicle Tracking for Intelligence Purposes
At PI Services, vehicle tracking is used strictly as an investigative intelligence tool and forms part of lawful electronic surveillance conducted during authorised investigations.
We do not provide vehicle tracking for unlawful spying, harassment, or unauthorised monitoring.
Our vehicle tracking services are deployed solely within legal and ethical boundaries, and only where lawful grounds, consent, or legitimate investigative authority exists.

What Are Vehicle Trackers?
Vehicle trackers use GPS technology to provide real-time or historical location data of a vehicle or asset. During investigations, this information assists our private investigators in establishing movement patterns, travel behaviour, and verification of activities relevant to a case.
Tracking data can be securely accessed via:
-
A protected smartphone application
-
A secure web-based platform
This allows investigators to obtain accurate, time-stamped location intelligence as part of a broader investigation strategy.
How Vehicle Tracking Is Used in Investigations
Vehicle tracking is commonly utilised during:
-
Cheating spouse and infidelity investigations
-
Employee theft or moonlighting investigations
-
Insurance fraud and workers’ compensation claims
-
Asset verification and recovery
-
Civil and criminal investigations
-
Due diligence and risk assessments
Tracking is never used in isolation and always forms part of a structured investigative process that may include surveillance, background checks, interviews, and reporting.
Types of Vehicle Trackers We Use
Installed Vehicle Trackers
Installed trackers are discreetly connected to a vehicle’s power source and are typically used for longer-term investigations where continuous tracking is required.
Portable / Magnetic Vehicle Trackers
Portable trackers are self-powered units that attach securely to a vehicle or asset using a strong magnetic casing. These units are ideal for short- to medium-term investigations and do not require permanent installation.

Legal and Ethical Use of Vehicle Tracking
PI Services deploys vehicle trackers only in compliance with South African law, including POPIA and electronic surveillance regulations.
Tracking is conducted:
-
For intelligence and evidentiary purposes
-
With lawful authority, consent, or legitimate investigative interest
-
By licensed, experienced private investigators
We do not sell or supply tracking devices for private, unsupervised use, and we do not assist with illegal tracking of individuals or vehicles.
Confidential, Professional, and Secure
Every vehicle tracking assignment is handled with:
-
Strict confidentiality
-
Secure data management
-
Clear investigative objectives
-
Professional reporting
Our clients include private individuals, legal representatives, insurers, and businesses who require accurate, defensible intelligence rather than raw location data.
