What Does Matrix Vehicle Tracking Offer?
Traditional Hardwired Tracking
Like other established providers, Matrix offers a hardwired GPS/GSM unit fitted by a certified technician, feeding into a monitored recovery service.
Beame: Wireless, Battery-Powered Recovery
Beame is a compact, battery-powered recovery unit. A technician hides it in your vehicle in a few minutes without wiring it into the electrical system, so it doesn't affect your car's electronics. The battery lasts up to three years, and Beame is approved by major insurers.
Matrix Vision: Dashcams
Matrix Vision is a dual dashcam: a road-facing ADAS camera and an in-cab driver-monitoring camera, 4G-connected with a data bundle included. It warns about collisions, tailgating, rollovers, phone use, distraction and drowsiness, and lets you watch any vehicle live.

Frequently Asked Questions About Matrix & Beame
Is Beame as effective as a hardwired tracker?+
Beame trades some of a hardwired unit's deeper vehicle integration (like remote immobilisation) for installation-free convenience. It's a different trade-off rather than simply "better" or "worse" — see our Beame comparison for the specifics.
Does Beame qualify for an insurance discount?+
Insurers set their own approved-device lists, and a battery-powered unit isn't always treated the same as a hardwired one. Confirm directly with your insurer before assuming a discount applies — see our insurance-approved trackers guide for more on how approval generally works.
Can I move a Matrix tracker between vehicles?+
Because Beame isn't wired in, moving it is simpler than moving a hardwired unit, but it is hidden by a technician and registered to your vehicle, so ask Matrix to arrange any move.
How much is the Matrix Vision dashcam?+
Matrix Vision is R359 a month and Matrix Vision Pro is R399 a month, both including VAT. Vision Pro adds 6 months of event cloud storage (instead of 3), 100 minutes of live streaming (instead of 60), and coaching, geofencing, user roles and event tagging.
Is Matrix Vision a tracker?+
Matrix Vision is a video telematics dashcam: it records the road and the cab and sends safety alerts. For theft recovery, pair it with a Matrix tracker such as Beame.
Is "TrackerPrices SA" the same company as Matrix?+
No. TrackerPrices SA is an independent comparison service. We are not affiliated with, and cannot speak on behalf of, Matrix Vehicle Tracking or any brand named on this page.
