The truth about auto alarms
Even the best auto alarm systems fall short trying to consistently protect your vehicle from harm. At the same time there are limits to what law enforcement can do to keep our cars safe from unwanted intruders. LoJack provides a way to protect our cars and trucks, even in cases where car thieves are able to manipulate anti-theft devices and auto alarm systems.
Professional car thieves know the inner workings, and subsequently the vulnerabilities of most auto alarms and security systems. With this knowledge, it is oftentimes possible to bypass even the most sophisticated auto alarms, and steal the desired automobile. In these cases, the auto alarm is rendered useless, leaving the car owner empty-handed.
LoJack Stolen Vehicle Recovery System
The LoJack Stolen Vehicle Recovery System continues to be effective where your auto alarm system cannot; after an auto theft takes place. The LoJack tracking system installed on your vehicle can be used by police to track its location, and recover it from the would-be thieves.
When your car is reported stolen, a routine entry into the state computer system will match the vehicle's VIN number with its unique LoJack code. A small radio transceiver hidden on the car is automatically activated, emitting an inaudible signal. Local police can then follow the signal, and track down your vehicle.
No other vehicle recovery unit or auto alarm system is used by law enforcement agencies across the country and around the world to recover stolen vehicles. In fact, LoJack actually supplies law enforcement authorities with mobile tracking computers with which police use to recover the stolen cars.
