The figures prove that professional thieves operate despite a
large array of new vehicle security devices. Millions of cars are re-birthed and parts distributed throughout the world every year – despite
advanced immobilizer systems, GPS tracking systems, and the like. However,
our solution to the problem is different. We deliver an effective,
community-responsible identification system that has won
official regulatory support in several jurisdictions.
The Solution
Our theft deterrent system for motor vehicles is called
.
Between 1,000 and 10,000
are applied per vehicle, all of them laser-etched with the unique Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) or a Personal Identification Number (PIN).
To make this application quick and cost effective, DataDot Technology
Ltd has
patented an innovative spray process. The process covers the key panels,
engine, gearbox and other expensive parts with
in less than 60 seconds robotically or in six minutes by hand. The spray
process can be used
at the place of assembly, importation or in the aftermarket through
dealers.
With such saturation and extensive coverage,
is impossible to remove cost effectively. Moreover the size of the
makes it impossible for a thieves ever to be confident they have removed
every single one. And if there is just one tiny
left, the police will know it is stolen. Furthermore if a whole motor
brand uses the
system, any vehicle or car parts of that brand found without dots will
immediately raise alarms. Therefore to a professional thief, a car with
the
system is far more dangerous than a car without the system. So what can a
thief do? The only solution is to stop stealing cars that have the
system – and statistics prove that is exactly what has happened.
The Results
DataDot Technology Ltd has manufactured and supplied
to major companies such as Nissan (USA), BMW (Australia), Subaru
(Australia), Ford Performance Vehicles (Australia), Porsche (Australia),
Holden Special Vehicles (GM Subsidiary, Australia), Audi (Australia),
Isuzu (Asia), Avis (South Africa), Techmashimport (Russia), Mitsubishi
(UK), and VW (Taiwan).
All of these manufacturers/importers have reported a considerable
reduction in theft since they adopted the
system, even in the early days of their application. BMW and Holden
Special Vehicles have used
on some
models
in Australia since 2001. As of December 2004, data from the National Motor
Vehicle Theft Reduction Council indicates that the rate of vehicles
with
being stolen and unrecovered is 64% and 75% less than the same
brands’ unmarked vehicles were in similar time frames. Similarly, Subaru
started fitting some of its models in December 2002, and has since
experienced a 93% decline in the rate of stolen and unrecovered
vehicles. Looking elsewhere in the world, Nissan North
America have experienced a 65% reduction in component theft where
has been used.
increases
the risk of arrest and prosecution of professional thieves so effectively,
that they would rather move onto an item that is unidentified. That is why
is endorsed / supported by insurance companies, law enforcement agencies
and other regulatory bodies in several countries. Additionally, a number
of insurance companies have reduced insurance premiums for
protected vehicles. |
