India best security device for car/bike that communicates with mobile

Now it’s possible to manage the security of bikes/cars via mobile phones. iTrans Technologies has made it possible for car and bike owners to secure and track their vehicles using a simple SMS via their mobile phones. It doesn’t need any external hardware, software or servers and runs on proven GSM-technology. The device named Tcop can be hidden under the seat of a bike or behind the dashboard of a car. It has a SIM inside it which sends an SMS to the owner in the case of intrusion or theft and also triggers a burglar siren. If a bike/car is stolen the owner can send an SMS to the device and trigger a siren, thus attracting the attention of the passers by and disorienting the thief.
This reduces dependence on security guards/police and ensures peace of mind even if the car or bike owner is at a great distance from his/her vehicle. Yet another example of how mobile phones have made our lives easier.

• Misuse by drivers: Drivers often take the liberty to use the owner’s car for their personal work without taking permission. Tcop helps to check this problem by means of its tracking and security features.

• Fleet tracking: It could also be fitted onto school vans or buses and help parents through SMS to track the vehicle’s movement. The school could also have a central data that helps track the fleet of buses. Besides, logistics players with a fleet of trucks or private bus operators can install Tcop to track their vehicles real-time.

• Unauthorised usage: Parents could keep tab on the car being used by minor children or others. The device could also, through an SMS, alert the owner if someone in his family or otherwise was using his car without his permission through an ignition alert. Many times friends and relatives also take the liberty to misuse vehicles.

• Security of children: Tcop provides unmatched peace of mind when parents rely on the drivers / neighbours / friends / relatives etc dropping children and the peace of mind that Tcop can provide in such contexts.

• Multiple Access: The owner can allow up to five mobile numbers to be registered to get SMS updates about the vehicle’s location and safety. This gives family members the peace of mind when their loved ones are out on the road.

Bengaluru is witnessing approximately six thousand cars being sold every month with more than seven lakh cars plying on Bangalore roads. The number of motor bikes on the city roads is in excess of twenty six lakhs. With rising incidence of private vehicle usage coupled with severe shortage of parking spaces in the city, there is a corresponding significant spurt in the number of vehicle theft (cars and bikes) cases.
According to a report, with more than 7,000 cases every year, Bengaluru occupies the third position in India in vehicle theft cases, after NCR and Mumbai. Despite this being a widespread problem, there doesn’t seem to be enough awareness among the denizens of the city.
