The problem we face today is that thieves have easy access to all makes of car, thanks to advanced technology. Insurance companies are forcing some consumers to insert technologies that allow vehicles to be tracked if they are stolen. So, at the end of the day, despite the tracking technology, your vehicle will still be a target for thieves, with all the inconvenience this can cause owners. Our innovative technology combining IKS (Intelligent Kill Switch) and MFA (Multi-Factor Authentication) forces the driver to identify himself using his smartphone or artificial intelligence. So, if you fail to identify yourself to the vehicle you want to drive, the IKS technology won't allow the vehicle to start, and it will send a theft attempt notification to the owner of the vehicle the individual is trying to start, even if he or she has obtained the door unlock code. Our product is based on 4 key factors that make it so effective: FIRST FACTOR: MULTI-FACTOR AUTHENTICATION (MFA) MFA is widely used in banking, and increasingly in all sectors of activity, to increase connection reliability. SECOND FACTOR: THE USE OF SMARTPHONES By using smartphones as a confirmation source for the MFA, we take our security level up a notch to 99.9% efficiency. THIRD FACTOR: VEHICLE IMMOBILIZER By installing an immobilizer on the vehicle, the smart phone and MFA can identify the real driver of the vehicle at all times, otherwise it will remain stationary. FOURTH FACTOR: THEFT NOTIFICATION If an intruder tries to take off with your vehicle and the IKS has not received the MFA from the owner's phone, the siren is activated and an alarm is triggered. The siren is activated and a theft notification is automatically sent to the vehicle owner. So, the choice is yours: choose a tracking technology that gives you an 85% chance of recovering your stolen and soiled vehicle, or choose our technology that allows you to keep your vehicle in your backyard or shopping mall parking lot 100% of the time.
