CarSearch by LoJack:
CarSearch Stolen Vehicle Recovery System is a unique, proprietary system manufactured by LoJack Corporation of Dedham, Massachusetts, USA used by law enforcement in different countries to track, locate and recover stolen motor vehicles.
CarSearch is a proven technology that allows police or private security to track and recover stolen vehicles quickly, often while the thief is still in the vehicle.
The CarSearch process begins with the installation of a concealed location unit in the client’s vehicle. When the vehicle is stolen, the client reports this to the dispatcher at the system control center. The dispatcher activates the location unit that starts to transmit a signal unknown to the thieves. The tracker police vehicles lock onto the signal and intercept the vehicle apprehending the thieves.
Some facts:
CarSearch technology has been used successfully since 1986 in the United States. CarSearch benefits the vehicle’s owner, law enforcement, and insurance industry. Approximately ninety-five (95%) of all stolen vehicles equipped have been recovered, many within minutes. Stolen vehicles equipped with the location unit have resulted in an arrest rate many times that of non-CarSearch stolen vehicles. Due to the quick recovery with CarSearch many insurance companies offer discounts of up to 35% off the fire and theft insurance premiums for vehicles which have the location unit installed.
It is operating now in the 15 US states with highest rates of auto theft and 11 foreign countries including United Kingdom, Argentina, Russia, Trinidad and Tobago, Hong Kong, Colombia, Venezuela, Ecuador, Greece, Slovakia, and the Czech Republic. The system is currently being deployed in Germany, Kenya, South Africa and Korea.
The system is now in Russia with the deployment of the first regional system in the Russian capitol.
