AlterLock Gen3
What is AlterLock?
Alterlock is an advanced anti-theft alarm and GPS tracking device designed for a wide range of vehicles. Paired with our proprietary app, it allows you to monitor your ride from any distance.
When the device detects movement, a loud alarm is triggered, and a notification is sent instantly to your smartphone. In the unfortunate event of theft, Alterlock's GPS tracking feature will help you locate and recover your vehicle swiftly.
When the alarm is triggered for the second time, the device will go into tracking mode and starts sending location data. Location data is updated every time the device detects pause in motion. This is to increase the chance of recovery by logging the last stopped location to find your stashed vehicle.
AlterLock will perform periodic transmission every 6~24 hours (depending on your setting) as a back-up option in case your vehicle is stolen when not in LOCK mode.
