Description

The Recon 4G GPS tracker is a favorite choice for anyone needing an insanely long battery life with near-real time tracking. It’s perfect for monitoring your car, fleet vehicle, boat, trailer, or other assets, providing exact location data.

The Recon tracker includes everything you need right out of the box:

  • Over 3 months of battery life
  • The popular Google Maps interface
  • Built-in magnets (often sold separately)

The Recon is about the size of a small brick, but not as heavy, making it our largest tracker due to its large battery and built in magnet. Despite its size, it fits conveniently in places like near the car's bumper or side compartment, on trailers, or attached to large toolboxes.

Its built-in magnets let it securely attach to a car’s underside, while the IP-66 weatherproof rating insures it against in cold, wet conditions.

Our trackers operate on the AT&T 4G LTE network, which has pretty extensive coverage in the USA.

How It Works

When you get your Recon tracker, set up your GPS account by scanning the QR code inside the box. Next, you'll download our GPS app.

Log in from any phone, tablet, or computer to see your tracker’s location in real-time. The tracking interface uses Google Maps, giving you exact locations and addresses.

The Recon updates every 60 seconds by default when it’s moving, showing the vehicle's movements on a map in near real-time, along with remaining battery life and the last movement time. Use the calendar feature to pick any date/time and view the tracking history, showing every place the vehicle has visited in the last 90 days.

Create zones on Google Maps with geofencing, and get text or email alerts when the tracker enters or leaves these zones. This helps you keep an eye on your car's movements to make sure it stays where it should. Our reporting section saves the last 90 days of activity, including start/stop times, speed, driving behavior, and mileage, giving you detailed tracking insights.

The Recon’s built-in motion sensor saves battery life by entering sleep mode when it’s not moving. The rechargeable battery offers roughly 3 months of tracking. If the vehicle drives about 3 hours a day, the Recon lasts about 100 days before needing a recharge.

We know using a GPS tracker might be new to you. Our SpyGuy experts are available during the week for any questions or help with placing an order. If you're ready to buy, hit the 'Add To Cart' button. Orders placed by the cutoff time ship the same day.

Expert Advice

The Recon is the best tracker for people who want great battery life, and don't wont to constantly be charging their tracker.

It’s compact, has a built-in magnet, the battery lasts a ridiculously long time, and the data plan is only $25/month. You won’t need any accessories with it, so it’s good to go out of the box. It also has the best coverage and fastest network of any tracker we offer.

How does the order show up on my credit card?

We know you’re trying to be discreet, so we’ve gone the extra mile to have credit card transactions listed under ‘SGE LLC’ on your statement and not ‘SpyGuy’.


Do you accept checks, money orders, or gift cards?

Shipping FAQ


What is the order cutoff time?

Orders placed Monday through Friday before 5:30pm Eastern/2:30pm Pacific are shipped out the same day.

Orders placed after this cutoff time are shipped the next business day.


How do I get free ground shipping?

Every order gets free and fast UPS ground shipping. Over 90% of our customers get their order within 4 days.


Do you offer 2-day or overnight delivery?

Absolutely, we have these options at checkout. You’ll just need to place your order before the 5:30pm Eastern cutoff time, otherwise it’ll be sent the next business day.

  • 2-day - $19.99
  • Overnight - $39.99

Where do you ship to?

We can ship to any address in the USA. This includes homes, apartments, businesses, and private mailboxes.

We can also deliver to PO and APO mailboxes, but cannot guarantee 2-day and overnight deliveries will get there on time as USPS doesn’t guarantee these services.

If you would like something shipped internationally, our clients outside the USA seem to like MyUS.com as a low-cost method of having packages forwarded.

Please be aware of any international tariffs you might be charged.


What shipping carriers do you use?

We use a combination of UPS and USPS for our free ground shipping options, and FedEx for our 2-day and overnight methods.

If you have a special carrier request or requirement, please get in touch with us via the contact widget and we’ll do our best to make it happen.





What does the package look like? Does it say SpyGuy?

All orders ship in discreet, plain, brown or white envelopes and boxes.

The shipping label doesn’t say SpyGuy, of course! It says ‘Fulfillment Center’ and has the return address of the fulfillment center. The package contents aren’t listed on the packaging.

If you do an online search for the fulfillment center’s address, it doesn't return anything related to SpyGuy.


I want this sent somewhere else, is that okay?

We understand some clients don’t want this sent to their home or business, and that’s fine. Just give us the full shipping address you want this sent.

Make sure you also add the billing address, which is tied to your credit card or other payment method, otherwise your payment might get refused.


How can I track my order once it has been shipped?

You’ll be emailed a tracking number as soon as your order has shipped.

If you lost it, open the contact widget to key in your email address and ZIP code, and you can see the details about your shipment.

You can also email us at help@spyguy.com and we can assist there.



Returns & Exchanges FAQ

We have a risk-free, 100% money back guarantee that lasts 60 days after you receive your order. We’ll refund you the full amount with no questions asked.

This applies to all products in the audio, bug detector, GPS, and hidden camera categories.

The only products we don’t accept returns on are iOS and Android recovery software. Software is non-refundable, which is an industry standard.







How do I send back a return?

You can use our returns portal to start a new return and print off a shipping label.

Please, don’t send something back without talking to us or opening up a return request. 


Your package might get lost and we’re not able to help you if you do that.

All products come with a one year warranty that covers any manufacturer defects.


How do I return a defective product under warranty?

Please get in touch with us and we’ll happily process your warranty coverage and send you a new unit.


Are any items non-refundable?

The recovery sticks are software, and are not refundable. We’re happy to exchange them with another product, if you like.


Is there a return fee?

Products returned in new and unused condition have absolutely no fees - you’ll get the full 100% of your order credited back to you.

In extreme cases, customers have sent us clearly damaged products, damaged or missing accessories, and boxes. For example, the products smell like cigarettes, or they return a product that isn’t even what they bought from us.

In these extremely rare instances, a damages fee of up to 40% of the product cost will be applied. We’re reasonable here, and we hope you’re reasonable, too.

Warranty

All products are under a 1 year warranty, with GPS trackers and Spy Cameras having a 1-year warranty. If you’re having trouble or think your product is acting up, get in touch with us as soon as possible and we’ll make it right.

60-Day Money Back Guarantee


We offer a 60-day, money back guarantee on most of our items. Should you want to return or exchange your order, simply get in touch with us within 30-days of ordering and we’ll begin the return process. A list of items that are exempt can be found at the bottom of this page.


Contact Us First

Please, do not send us anything without first contacting us! It’s very difficult on our customer care team when we get packages that we’re not expecting. They usually have no name, order number, or reason for return. 

We’re not mind readers, unfortunately, so please get in touch with us first!

Make sure that when you send us a return you include everything that was sent to you, including packaging and accessories. They also need to be in original condition. Once your return is received, we’ll issue a full credit on your card. If it’s an exchange, we’ll ship out the replacement product.

If you return your product without first contacting us and getting an RMA, or your return does not meet the conditions above, a 25% fee will be deducted from your refund.



Items That Aren’t Refundable:


Some of our items aren’t refundable. The reason is unfortunate - we've had customers out there who buy from us to quickly to get the answers they want, and then return the items to get a refund. The product, it solved their problem, and now they don’t want it anymore. 

It's an underhanded tactic that’s difficult to fight, and we can’t stay in business by being a rental company. Because of this, we aren’t able to offer refunds on the following products:

• Software
• Nanny cameras

FAQ

Here are some of the most frequently asked questions:

How do GPS trackers work?

A GPS tracker finds its exact location using signals from satellites out in space. It sends this location info through cell networks (like AT&T) so you can see where it is on your phone or computer in real-time.

What are people using GPS trackers for?

Typically they're using hardwired trackers to keep an eye on vehicles, trailers, that sort of thing. The main benefit of the Recon is that it has an extremely long lasting battery and has strong magnets built into the device to quickly place underneath a vehicle.

Are GPS trackers legal to use?

Yes, GPS trackers are legal to own and use, as long as you're obeying the law. We are not your lawyers, so you should seek out an attorney if you're concerned about legal issues.

How long does the battery last?

The Recon will generally last several months before needing a recharge, but it depends on how much the car is being driven.

Is there a monthly plan with this tracker?

Yes, please check out the 'Data Plan' section. Depending on the subscription you choose, you'll pay around $25/month for unlimited use, with no contract.

    Almost perfect

    Battery life is outstanding. 30-second reporting makes locating much more accurate. Occasionally gets “stuck” at the police station when the vehicle passes that street and the tracker reports the vehicle has parked there when it is actually parked several blocks away, sometimes for an extended period. Occasionally does not activate when the vehicle begins moving and misses a leg or two of travel. The web-tracker reporting is more to-the-second than the mobile-app, though the mobile-app catches up within a couple of minutes. Very pleased with this product overall.

    Totally On Point!!!

    The only thing that I don't like about it is that it doesn't follow the object in real-time. I have to wait every 30 seconds for the arrow to move when I choose the option to "follow the object." Otherwise it does exactly as advertised!
