Hardware is included with a separate active Spytec plan, not free standalone equipment or a Crime Fixer subscription. IP67-rated, with a wireless charging pad. Battery life varies with settings and conditions; faster updates use more battery. Optional Physical Honeypot customization requires a quote for bait items, materials, and additional equipment.
Before You Buy
Atlas XL is a rechargeable cellular GPS tracker, not a Bluetooth finding tag. An active Spytec plan is required separately from Heavy Cover. Hardware is included with the provider plan; the November 1-2, 2026 references are $24.95/month or $215.40/year, not guaranteed current quotes. Confirm the exact equipment, coverage, plan, and accessories before buying. A Crime Fixer quote request does not activate or charge for Spytec service.
Choose the reporting interval for the property and the problem, not just the longest advertised battery life. Spytec lists about 38 days at 60-second updates and over a year at 12-hour or daily updates; settings and conditions change those estimates. A map location must be read with its report time. Neither an old pin nor a tamper alert proves a theft occurred.
What You Need
- Check the supplied Atlas XL, wireless charging pad, charging tray, USB cable, and compatible power adapter against the selected package.
- Choose a mount suitable for the property. An exterior magnetic mount is separate; do not assume another Atlas model's case or hardwire kit fits Atlas XL.
- Have access to the provider's official app and an active plan with coverage where you will use the tracker. Keep its IMEI and account details private.
- Optional Physical Honeypot customization needs an agreed bait item, materials, permissions, and any extra equipment quote. Test reception in the actual item before placement.
Installation And Setup
Confirm The Device And Provider Setup
Record the Atlas XL model and IMEI privately. Follow the activation route in the official model manual and selected plan documents. Use the provider's own app links; its support pages use the Hapn name. Do not assume a Crime Fixer service order has activated the tracker.
Charge On The Matching Pad
Put the pad in its tray with the blank face up, connect power, and center the tracker. The pad should change from green to pulsing red while the tracker's blue and green LEDs flash together. Both tracker LEDs become steady when charged. Normal operation may show no lights.
Test Before Attaching
Check a fresh location outdoors before choosing the final mounting point. For an interior vehicle installation, the provider suggests under a seat with lights upward and a usable path through the windows. Avoid metal-enclosed compartments, heat, moving parts, and any placement that interferes with driving. Follow model-specific mounting instructions.
Select Updates And Alerts
Review the reporting mode in the tracker settings. Choose the update interval you need and check boundary, battery, and supported light-sensor alerts. A battery-saving interval is not continuous tracking. Confirm each recipient and notification permission; do not assume an app alert is connected to an investigator.
Secure And Retest
Use the confirmed mount without damaging the property. Recheck the last report time, attachment, charging access, and alerts at the final location. If customizing a bait item, agree on placement, recording authority, and extra-camera provision before proceeding.
Test Your Setup
- Compare a fresh report with a known outdoor location. Check its timestamp separately from whether the app opens.
- Make a safe ordinary trip with property you are authorized to track, then inspect the route and reporting gaps.
- Test a chosen boundary alert with an authorized recipient and verify delivery. Check low-battery and tamper settings without generating a false emergency.
- Recheck after changing a mount, reporting interval, app permission, or bait item. Plan when and how you will recharge.
If Something Does Not Work
It Will Not Charge
Check pad power, cable connections, tray orientation, and alignment. Remove a mount or metal obstruction as directed by the charging guide. Do not open the sealed tracker or improvise wiring.
The Last Report Is Old Or Offline
Check battery and last contact, then cellular coverage and reporting mode. Test outdoors. Remote commands cannot reach a tracker without a connection; do not repeatedly reset it or assume an unlit LED means it is off.
A Recent Location Looks Wrong
Check that you selected the tracker rather than your phone's location marker. Buildings and metal can impair positioning. Retest in open sky and preserve timestamps; a map point is not an exact address or proof of who has the item.
Safe And Lawful Use
- Track only property you own or have lawful authority to track. Do not conceal a tracker on a person or their property without authority.
- Preserve location updates and original recordings after theft; do not pursue, enter property, or confront someone based on a map pin.
- This is not an automatic emergency-response connection or recovery guarantee. Compatible sharing, permissions, active paid Heavy Cover, and service acceptance remain separate requirements. Care applies as described under Buying And Setting Up below.

Physical Honeypot Customization
A custom bait item with a hidden GPS tracker and/or camera to track it and record what happens if it is taken.
Physical Honeypot customization is included as an option on GPS trackers and tags, not a standalone product, fixed-price investigative service, or standard kit. Crime Fixer can hide the selected tracker or tag and/or a camera inside a bait item such as a package, bicycle, phone, tool, or vehicle. Bait items, equipment, and materials are quoted for the agreed configuration. An active, paid Heavy Cover subscription is required for Crime Fixer product purchases and included benefits; reading this guide or requesting a future quote does not require a subscription.
The aim is to track the item and record what happens if it is taken. Placement matters: the item needs to be where theft or damage is likely, while the selected equipment must be able to produce useful location information or recordings. A hidden camera or tracker does not guarantee a crime will be recorded or stolen property recovered.
Customization Checks
- The item, equipment, materials, location, and permissions agreed before proceeding.
- Whether extra hidden cameras are a product purchase with installation or a separately approved Automated Surveillance deployment.
- Tracker updates, saved recordings, power, and the steps to take if the item is stolen or damaged.
Equipment And Materials
- A bait item and permission to use it at the agreed location. Agree on the item and its value before placing it.
- A GPS tracker, finding tag, and/or camera selected for the item, its power requirements, coverage, and recording or location needs. There is no single fixed equipment configuration; a finding tag is not continuous GPS tracking.
- Materials for the agreed installation and any compatible service or storage plan the selected equipment requires.
- Additional hidden cameras only through a product purchase with installation or a separately approved Automated Surveillance deployment, as agreed before proceeding. They are not automatically included in the custom quote.
Planning And Setup
Agree On The Scope
Identify the theft or damage problem, the bait item, proposed location, and who is authorized to place and track it. Confirm the equipment, materials, and total by email or text before purchase.
Choose Compatible Equipment
Match the tracker and/or camera to the item and the location. Check power, connection, storage, and whether the chosen view can record the relevant activity. Use the selected equipment's own instructions, not a generic wiring or concealment recipe.
Test Before Placement
With the item still under your control, check the location update and its timestamp, and save and play back a test recording where a camera is used. Resolve power or connection problems before placing it.
Confirm Placement And Extra Cameras
Agree where the item will be placed and any surrounding cameras. Additional camera purchases and any separate Automated Surveillance deployment require their own agreed provision before proceeding. Ordinary on-site product work remains within the Cover service area.
Plan The Incident Response
Confirm who receives the selected alerts or location information, how relevant files will be preserved, and how to report theft or damage. Do not assume equipment purchase reserves investigator time or automatically activates a response.
Test The Custom Item
- Check the configured tracker while the item is in a known location. Read the update time; an old position is not proof of where it is now.
- If using a camera, make a safe, consenting test movement and review the saved original, not just a notification or live view.
- Check that the agreed power arrangement and attachment remain usable in normal conditions without damaging the item or creating a hazard.
- Recheck after moving the item or changing equipment, storage, power, or connection settings.
Customization Troubleshooting
- No Current Location
Check power, coverage, service, permissions, and the update time using the exact tracker's instructions. Do not treat a stale map position as a live sighting.
- No Useful Recording
Check the view, lighting, storage, power, and recording settings. A working live view does not prove an event was saved.
- The Item Is Taken
Preserve the original files and location updates with their times, and report the incident. Do not enter property, pursue, or confront someone to recover the item.
Safe And Lawful Placement
- Use only an item and placement you are authorized to use. Do not conceal equipment on another person or their property without lawful authority.
- Do not create a hazard, obstruct a public route, or place a dangerous bait item. Recording and tracking must stay within the permissions and scope agreed.
- A location update or camera image is evidence to assess, not authority to confront or detain a person. Use established emergency channels when someone is in immediate danger.

Connecting It To Crime Fixer
We confirm the model, compatibility, permissions, and access before connecting a device. Buying hardware does not provide investigator monitoring or response by itself, or guarantee that every feature can be connected.
Any Cover monitoring or response depends on your selected subscription, supported equipment, permissions, and service availability. Products purchased from Crime Fixer and their included Install, Care, and ID benefits require active, paid Heavy Cover.
Buying And Setting Up
An active, paid Heavy Cover subscription is required to purchase any product from Crime Fixer and receive the included Install, Care, and ID benefits. Investigative Services and Lite Cover do not qualify. Adding Heavy to a cart does not establish active coverage. Public guides, basic price information, and requests for a future quote remain available without a subscription. Product selections are quote interest only, not purchases or provider-plan activations.
Equipment is purchased separately. Product prices are U.S. dollar references before applicable sales tax, shipping, and payment processing fees. We confirm current prices and availability before purchase; they may change with sales, suppliers, and configuration. Optional accessories and Physical Honeypot materials require a current quote.
Install includes setup, basic installation, configuration, testing, practical fixes, and additional security measures based on our tests for supported products purchased from Crime Fixer; these are included while Heavy Cover is active and paid, as time and resources allow. On-site product work is limited to the Cover service area. Work beyond our qualifications or legal authority, including complex wiring, network infrastructure, and commercial-grade installations, requires a specialist.
Care includes optimizing and maintaining supported products purchased from Crime Fixer, keeping them running, and updating their software while Heavy Cover is active and paid, as time and resources allow. While Heavy Cover is active and paid, we cover the replacement cost if a product purchased from Crime Fixer is damaged or stolen, using the same model or a comparable model. We do not cover damage you cause by misusing or tampering with the product or performing your own maintenance or repairs. Lost products are not covered.
You may use these public guides independently. Compatible existing equipment can connect to supported Cover functions with the required permissions; this is not a promise of free physical setup, installation, or maintenance for equipment bought elsewhere.
ID support requires active, paid Heavy Cover and currently trackable people, pets, vehicles, or items. Location sharing must be set up with us through a compatible device or tracker purchased from Crime Fixer. A person must carry or wear the device; pets, vehicles, and items need compatible built-in tracking or an attached tracker. ID Kit contents and publication channels require approval by email or text before distribution to investigators, law enforcement, or social media. Advance approval may cover a later missing-person or stolen-property incident with the same contents and channels; changes require further approval. Paid advertising needs separate approval and payment; campaign work remains included in Heavy Cover.
The device belongs to you. Care covers qualifying damaged or stolen products purchased from Crime Fixer while Heavy Cover is active and paid, subject to the exclusions above; it does not cover lost products. Applicable manufacturer warranties are separate.
Required carrier, data, cloud, or manufacturer subscriptions are separate from Heavy Cover and any quoted equipment price.
