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.

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.

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?

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.
