Updated 30 September 2026 · Tracker Prices South Africa
Tracker Prices SA is an independent comparison site. This guide gives general information for South African drivers; your own provider, insurer or the police have the final word on your situation.
| Type | How it works | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Hardwired GPS/GSM tracker | Powered by the car; reports position regularly; live tracking in an app | Matrix Silver/Gold, Cartrack Quick |
| Wireless recovery unit | Own battery; hidden anywhere; activated for recovery after a theft report | Matrix Beame, Netstar STARtag |
| VHF radio unit | Radio beacon recovery teams home in on, even underground | Tracker Retrieve+ |
Yes. Hardwired units keep running on a small amount of power from the car battery and check in regularly; wireless units like Beame run on their own battery for up to three years.
A tracker finds your car; a dashcam records what happens on the road. The Matrix Vision dashcam combines ADAS warnings, in-cab driver monitoring and live streaming.
Across the plans we compare, Matrix offers the widest choice for South African drivers: Beame for low-cost, insurer-approved recovery, Silver and Gold for live tracking, and the new Matrix Vision dashcam for video telematics.
