How LoJack Works

Installation 1) Installation
LoJack is a small, silent Radio Transceiver that is hidden in your construction equipment by a certified LoJack technician. Once installed, the Unit is automatically registered in the LoJack Database, which interfaces with the National Crime Information Computer (NCIC) system used by federal, state and local law enforcement agencies throughout the country.


Notification 2) Notification
In the event of a theft, you report the incident to the police, who make a routine entry into the state police crime computer, resulting in a match of the LoJack System's unique code against the state's VIN database. This process automatically triggers the activation of the LoJack system in your construction equipment.


Activation 3) Activation
Once your theft is reported to police, law enforcement computers send a signal via the LoJack Radio Tower Network to activate the LoJack in your equipment. When activated, the LoJack Unit begins emitting an inaudible signal that can be tracked by police cars and aviation units that are equipped with LoJack Police Tracking Computers.


Tracking 4) Tracking
The LoJack Police Tracking Computer receives the LoJack Signal and leads the police to your stolen equipment. Unlike GPS systems, which require line-of-sight access to orbiting satellites, LoJack's patented Radio Frequency signal can penetrate forest cover, parking garages and many other obstructions, helping ensure the equipment will be located by police, regardless of where thieves may be hiding it.


Recovery 5) Recovery
Once your equipment is recovered, you will be notified by police. LoJack boasts a 90 percent recovery rate nationally, with many recoveries completed within hours, allowing you and your business to move forward.
