Security companies
Track guard equipment and offer asset recovery to clients.
Security companies look after radios, guard kit and response equipment, and clients ask them for help recovering stolen assets. NovaTrack covers your own kit and gives your control room a view of clients’ tags.
What to tag
- Guard radios and kit bags
- Patrol equipment
- Response vehicles (as backup)
- Client trailers and generators
- Alarm and CCTV installation kit
- Keys and key safes
How NovaTrack helps

Zone alerts
Arrive and leave events for sites and guardhouses.
Webhooks to your systems
Signed webhooks can raise an alarm in your own platform.
Multi-client ready
Keep your own kit on one account, with room to grow.

Mounting tips

- In the lining.

- Hidden behind panels, with more than one tag on high-value items.
- Response
- Act on the first position; follow SAPS guidance on recovery.
Good to know
Apple’s anti-stalking alerts can warn a thief who carries an iPhone. AirTags improve the odds of recovery; they do not guarantee it.
Cost
No SIM, no data bundle, no charging.
Compare AirTags on NovaTrack with battery GPS trackers for the same number of assets.

Difference
The honest answers.
Is it real-time?
No, and we will not pretend it is. A tag’s position updates when an Apple device passes close enough to hear it: every few minutes in busy areas, hours apart in quiet ones. NovaTrack fetches new reports every 15 minutes.
What happens when a thief has an iPhone?
Apple’s anti-stalking features can warn an iPhone user that an unknown AirTag is travelling with them, and a tag away from its owner for a while may beep. Hide tags well, use more than one on valuable items, and treat tracking as a recovery aid.
Does it work in remote areas?
Only where Apple devices pass. On a farm, a remote site or underground, updates can be very slow or stop. Tags are strongest where people are: towns, roads, sites and depots.
What about metal?
Solid metal all round blocks Bluetooth. Mount tags behind plastic, near a gap or a vent, or on the outside in a rugged holder.
How long does the battery last?
About a year on a standard CR2032 coin cell. NovaTrack shows battery status so you know which tags to service.
