Motorcycle Theft PreventionMany individuals desire to own a motorcycle; however, individuals think twice before investing in a recreational vehicle that can be easily stolen. Recent advancements in technology have allowed consumers to reconsider their investments in motorcycles. New tracking devices will aid in theft protection and recovery through the use of a Global Positioning System (GPS). Motorcycle GPS tracking will also monitor the speed of the motorcycle, detect any unwarranted motion of the motorcycle, and notify the owner if the motorcycle moves outside of a specified perimeter. This offers consumers a feeling of safety or security that they have not possessed in the past. Motorcycle GPS TrackingGPS tracking offers customers a comprehensive solution for motorcycle theft recovery. In some states, insurance companies are hesitant to provide replacement costs for a motorcycle if it is stolen. The chances of recovery are slim, if the consumer does not know the location of the motorcycle at all times. ArrowTrack GPS offers consumers the following features to protect their assets from thieves:
Motorcycle GPS tracking alerts the consumer with a text if a vehicle is moved. With immediate notification of unwarranted movement, motorcycle owners can immediately alert the police. Meanwhile, the consumer can continue tracking their assets via GPS and sending constant updates to the authorities. Authorities can immediately begin recovery of the vehicle, before it is damaged irreparably or before the assailant leaves the country. If the assailant does cross the border into Canada or Mexico, ArrowTrack GPS will continue to track the vehicle via satellites. Consumers no longer have to worry about losing the vehicle permanently, if it is transported into Mexico or into Canada. The vehicle will now be monitored across the borders. Motorcycle Theft RecoveryPreviously, customers have relied on products such as Lo Jack and traditional car alarms to protect their motorcycle investments. However, traditional car alarms only bring attention to the theft. These alarms do not notify the owner the vehicle is moved or stolen. If no one is present or hears the alarm, it may be several hours before anyone discovers the motorcycle is stolen. In that period of time, the thieves could have the motorcycle in another state or in some cases, across the border. The vehicle may also be chopped up for parts in that length of time. The alarm cannot locate the vehicle. Therefore, the chances of recovery are slim to none. Lo Jack offers more protection than a traditional car alarm. However, the device is still limited in features compared to motorcycle GPS tracking. Lo Jack offers coverage in certain areas of the country. Consumers must go to a police department and file a police report before the LoJack device is activated by the authorities. Once the police report is filed, the police will begin the search for the vehicle. It may take several hours to realize the vehicle is stolen. Then, the consumer will spend another couple of hours at the police department filing the report. The device will only locate the vehicle after the authorities activate the LoJack device. Then, the search will begin. The consumer has no control or monitoring capability with this type of technology. LoJack also does not monitor in Mexico. Therefore, the thief could take the stolen property to Mexico and get away. With motorcycle GPS tracking, consumers have control over every aspect of the monitoring device. The consumer will receive a text when the motorcycle is moved. The consumer can view the vehicle’s location via tracking software. The owner can track the speed of the motorcycle or the owner can determine if the motorcycle has left the perimeter. LoJack offers none of these capabilities to the consumer. The device will simply locate the motorcycle, once it is reported stolen. The device is easy to install. ArrowTrack GPS will be fully operational the minute the installation is complete. There is no downtime associated with the installation. The ease of the process keeps costs for the manufacturer and the consumer lower.
Proactive vs. ReactiveGPS is a proactive solution to theft rather than a reactive solution like its predecessors. Because the auto security device puts the power into consumers hands, theft can be avoided all together. Motorcycles can be fun vehicles that may be shared by family members or friends. Monitoring speeds is a proactive mechanism to provide a friend or family member who borrowed the motorcycle to slow down to avoid an accident. Friends and family may also be limited to a certain area with the motorcycle. If the individual leaves the area without the owner’s authorization, GeoFences will activate and alert the owner. This is important if the owner leaves for vacation or for business. He or she can still monitor the assets while away. Historical tracking is provided to consumers in the event there is a dispute in a court of law. Evidence of the vehicles whereabouts and speed of the vehicle will be constantly recorded and saved. This allows ArrowTrack to not only become a theft deterrent, but also a witness. LoJack or other alarms do not provide these features.
