The manufacturer’s description:
“Disguised as a functioning tail light.
Easy to install. Fits any bicycle.
Recharge once per year.
Vibration Sensor.
Spylamp is a covert tracking device that is hidden inside a bicycle rear light. The rear light appears and functions as normal to avoid suspicion but inside it houses a complete GPS tracking device. Hold the on/off button down for 3 seconds and your trackers vibration sensor will activate. Any subsequent movement of your bicycle will mean you get an instant SMS message and the tracking function will activate so you can see where your bicycle was taken.
Free Online Tracking Service Should your bicycle be stolen, this vibration activated tracker will begin uploading its coordinates to our free online service. You can log into the WhereIsIt page and see where your bicycle was taken. This service is free for you to use.
Extremely cheap to run Using a typical UK SIM, each position upload costs approximately GBP 0.0006p. We do not charge you anything, this is just the SIM data charge.
SMS The tracker also transmits its coordinates to you via SMS. You can send the tracker a text message and it will reply with its GPS coordinates. You can also configure the tracker to send you its coordinates at regular intervals.
GSM fallback Should your bicycle be inside a building it may not be able to obtain a GPS lock. In this case it will fall back to GSM positioning. This is less accurate (approx 200 meters) but will give you an indication of where your bicycle is until it can obtain a better lock.
Vibration Activated When you must leave your bicycle in a high risk area (such as a public cycle rack), hold the on/off button down for 3 seconds and the light enters alarm mode. If it then detects excessive vibrations it will send you an SMS immediately and then start online tracking. You can log onto this website and see where your bicycle was taken.
Light trigger The light will act as a trigger. Any time a thief uses the bike, it will check if it is stolen and start sending you its coordinates. In this way your bicycle light will act as bait, should a thief try to use it they will give their location away. Bicycle tail lights are a legal requirement in the UK.
Battery The light contains a rechargeable lithium battery and comes with a charging cord. The light can go for > 1 year between charges. It does this by entering a sleep mode when it is not being used and only wakes an preset intervals. (ie 6 hours) to check if you have sent it a “stolen” text message. You can adjust these settings depending on your preference for longer battery life or faster response.
Covert The tracker is designed to look inconspicuous. It appears as a regular bicycle tail light and functions as a regular bicycle tail light.
Configuration All configuration is done by sending the unit SMS text messages. Once it is installed, you should not need to touch it again.
SIM Your tracker can come with a pre-installed TescoMobile PayAsYouGo SIM card with GBP10 credit. You can request your device location 200 times for £10 pounds. You can top your SIM card up online, over the phone or at your news-agent. We charge no on-going subscription fees and no fees are charged by us to view your trackers location via SMS text message. Ask for a SIM-only, Pay-As-You-Go plan if you decide to use a different mobile network.“
