LoJack

LoJack is a stolen vehicle recovery system designed to help law enforcement locate and recover stolen vehicles and other valuable assets. The system utilizes a small, concealed transceiver hidden within the vehicle. When a vehicle equipped with LoJack is reported stolen, the LoJack activation signal is transmitted, activating the transceiver. This allows law enforcement, using LoJack-equipped vehicles and tracking technology, to pinpoint the vehicle's location.

The LoJack system operates on a radio frequency separate from GPS-based tracking systems, and is directly integrated with law enforcement networks. This direct integration is a key component of its effectiveness, allowing for rapid response and a higher recovery rate in some areas compared to systems relying solely on GPS.

Key features of the LoJack system include:

• Concealed Transceiver: The transceiver is hidden in a location difficult for thieves to find, making it less susceptible to tampering.
• Law Enforcement Integration: Direct integration with law enforcement agencies enables rapid tracking and recovery efforts.
• Radio Frequency Technology: Uses radio frequency signals for tracking, allowing it to function even in areas where GPS signals are weak or unavailable (e.g., inside buildings, underground parking garages).
• Activation upon Theft Report: The system is only activated after the vehicle is reported stolen to the police, helping to protect the owner's privacy.

LoJack is primarily used for vehicle theft recovery, but it can also be used to protect other assets, such as construction equipment. The availability and effectiveness of LoJack can vary depending on the region and the level of law enforcement participation.
