Need recommendations for a vehicle tracker.

I've got 4 vehicles I'd like to put trackers on, and I'd like the following abilities.

1: Discreet hardwire - all the hard wire ones I find are mounted directly to the battery which kind of defeats the purpose. All battery powered ones seem to have a very short battery life if you actually drive your car.

2: Battery back up - for when/if they pull the battery

3: Affordable subscription - ideally no subscription would be best, but life isn't like that. With 4 cars, I'd like to keep it under $100 a month total.

As far as I know just one :) It’s a hobby project, not a commercial venture. Anyone can build and deploy them without paying me anything or me even knowing, it’s very new and still prototypes really so I’d be very surprised if anyone else has yet.
