FAQ: BrickHouse Security GPS Activation

Why isn't my BrickHouse GPS tracker showing a location after activation?

After activation, your tracker may take a few minutes to send its first location. Make sure the device is powered on, fully charged, and placed near a window or outdoors to get a strong GPS and cellular signal. Thick walls, garages, or metal enclosures can delay the first signal.

How do I know if my BrickHouse GPS tracker is activated successfully?

Once activated, your GPS device will appear in your tracking dashboard (web or mobile app) with its name, battery level, and location. You'll know it's working if you see a live map with your device's status and movements. No data showing? Try restarting the device and placing it outside for a stronger signal.

Do I need to install a SIM card before activating my GPS tracker?

No need, all BrickHouse Security GPS trackers come with an embedded SIM card pre-installed. If you bought your tracker from BrickHouseSecurity.com, it's already connected. If purchased from a third-party retailer, the SIM will be activated during your setup process on our activation page.

Is there a way to test my GPS tracker after setup?

Yes! A simple test is to walk or drive a short distance with the tracker, then check your dashboard. You should see the route or updated location appear within moments.

Do I need to activate every GPS tracker separately if I ordered multiple devices?

Yes, each BrickHouse GPS tracker requires individual activation if you purchased it through a third-party retailer. However, if you ordered multiple trackers directly from BrickHouseSecurity.com, they'll arrive pre-activated and linked to your account. Just log in to see them all listed.
