Tracking Devices

[Citfield]

Good day

I have got the opportunity to import tracking devices for vehicles. It is a new product for SA market.

I would like to know if it compulsory to be registered with ICASA, and if so what are the costs?

Thanks!!!

If not recognized by the SA Insurance companies it'll be pointless.

But perhaps handy for those that just want to try recover their vehicles to avoid being paid out the pittance many policies offer as retail value.

Don't think I've ever seen ICASA logos on GPS's but pretty sure if it uses sim cards/cellular networks it will need it.

Jip i am well aware of this. Do you possibly know how to go about to get recognized by insurance companies?

There is a body known as VSS or VESA and they scrutinise and approve vehicle security devices.

The just buy a cheap Android / Windows phone and stick it in the car somewhere, connected to the car to charge. There are hundreds of find my phone apps that you can use to track it.

This will not work as the system has a fleet solution.

If you don't register it with Icasa what will they do, hunt you down?

IF someone notices that its a device which should be registered, they'll stop it at customs and send you a notification requesting ICASA proof. It happens with cellphones, but not sure if they'll realise if a watch needs to be registered though.

Thanks guys.

I am planning on being a distributor of these watches so I would like to make sure that everything is in line with compliance. For interest sake, if a particular device has gps system but does not require a sim card would it then still be required to be ICASA registered?
