The automotive security industry is flooded with car anti-theft devices that offer various methods of theft prevention. These products hope to deter thieves from successful auto theft. Discouragingly, even the top-of-the-line alarm systems and car anti-theft devices are vulnerable in the hands of well-trained car thieves. Intruders are often able to bypass these products and get away without a trace.
Many cars are not reported stolen for hours or even days after the incident occurs. With no witnesses, suspects or leads to investigate, there is little hope of finding the automobile. In these cases, the car anti-theft device is rendered useless and is of no help to the vehicle's owner. LoJack steps in where alarm systems and car anti-theft devices fail to – after a theft occurs.
The most formidable line of defense against auto theft is LoJack's Vehicle Tracking System. LoJack is the only car anti-theft device or tracking and recovery system operated directly by law enforcement agencies. When a stolen car report is filed, local law enforcement computer systems immediately activate the LoJack Car Anti-Theft Device hidden in your vehicle. Local police then track the signal emitted by the car anti-theft device and follow it to the location of your stolen truck or car to recover the vehicle.
The LoJack car anti-theft device is small enough to be hidden in as many as 20 different places on your car or truck. While professional car thieves are often able to cash in on the vulnerabilities of competing car anti-theft devices, the LoJack Vehicle Security System is hidden where thieves can't even find it (not even the car's owner knows where it is).
The LoJack System works through concrete walls, ceilings and other barriers to locate LoJack-equipped vehicles. Other anti-theft tracking services use a satellite system that requires a direct line of sight between the vehicle's satellite antenna and orbiting GPS satellites.
The LoJack Early Warning System is the most advanced car anti-theft device in the LoJack line of auto theft prevention products. LoJack's Early Warning System lets you know when an intruder is attempting to get away with your vehicle, allowing you to check on it immediately. Car owners carry a personal LoJack Early Warning Key Pass that sends a signal to the car's anti-theft device confirming that they are an authorized driver of the vehicle.
If an unauthorized driver attempts to move the vehicle, the Early Warning System notifies you right away. LoJack Early Warning Recovery System car owners decide how they want to be contacted by the car alarm pager (phone, e-mail, text message) and can choose up to five means of contact.
