LoJack's Vehicle Recovery System goes where other car security systems can't, tracking down your stolen vehicle, recovering and returning it to you safely. The unique LoJack Tracking System allows police to monitor the location of your stolen car or truck. The only car security system operated by law enforcement, LoJack works with local police to recover stolen cars before it's too late.
When your car is reported stolen, a standard entry into the state crime database will find a match between your vehicle's VIN and its unique LoJack Code. The LoJack System is automatically triggered, and the car security system's radio transceiver begins to emit silent radio signals. Police can then track and locate the vehicle and recover it.
The National Insurance Crime Bureau (NICB) outlines a comprehensive approach to building a multilayered car security system.
The LoJack Car Security System is small enough to be hidden in as many as 20 different locations on a car or truck. Other car security systems and tracking devices rely on a short, visible antenna that a thief can easily break off. The LoJack Equipment is hidden where thieves can't even see it – not even the car owner knows its location.
The LoJack signal can be traced to any location where car thieves attempt to hide out with your vehicle. The LoJack Car Security System works through concrete walls, ceilings and other barriers (such as underground parking garages) to locate LoJack-equipped vehicles. Other services rely on a satellite system, requiring an unobstructed line of sight between the car security system's antenna and orbiting GPS satellites.
