    A Brief History of Car Security Systems

The first recorded car theft took place in Paris, France, 1896, when a mechanic stole a Peugot from Baron de Zuylen, founder of the Automobile Club of France. While the vehicle was eventually recovered a

    Safer Driving Tips for Teenage Drivers and their Parents

    How GPS Tracking can Protect Heavy Machinery

    Whether it’s on a construction site or a large farming business, heavy machinery are invaluable assets. However, despite being large and cumbersome, quite shockingly heavy machinery theft is more common than you think. Back in 2016, stolen transport and farming equipment worth up to $1.6 million were seized in Adelaide hills. More recently, in February 2018, NSW police recovered $350,000 worth of heavy machinery in the Mid North Coast of NSW. Where do these machines end up? T

    Why Luxury Cars Need GPS Tracking

    A car is a status symbol, and one way to tell if someone achieved success is by looking at what they are driving. As the old saying goes, if you have it, flaunt it.

Luxury cars such as Ferrari, Maserati, Porsche, Rolls Royce, or more commonly BMW, and Mercedes-Benz are superior, more pow
