| DeWalt introduces MobileLock Locator DeWalt has developed the MobileLock GPS Locator and Anti-Theft Alarm to help professional contractors better protect mobile assets on jobsites. The Global Positioning System feature allows contractors to locate the MobileLock unit in real time using the Internet. The MobileLock product is a stand alone, portable, wireless locating and alarm system that is easily mounted to equipment using integrated heavy-duty magnets or fastening the unit into place using screws. MobileLock features a GPS locator that can help users find stolen or lost assets anytime. Additionally, an alarm notification alerts the user when the protected piece of equipment has been disturbed or if someone tries to remove the MobileLock unit. The MobileLock locator and alarm is a user-friendly, self-installed system that contractors can customize to fit specific applications and security needs. The unit runs off of rechargeable lithium ion batteries and will remain powered for approximately 30 days. Contractors can easily customize the MobileLock settings to create their own arm and disarm schedule, change contact phone numbers, adjust siren settings, and report status information such as battery level and signal strength. Users can operate their MobileLock entirely over the web or from any phone. There are four sensors built into the MobileLock unit: Tamper sensor, Door contact sensor, Vibration sensor and Temperature sensor. Each sensor can be programmed individually through a phone or the MobileLock website to monitor the mobile asset. If an intruder tries to enter a secured area, disturb a piece of protected equipment, or remove the unit from the asset, the alarm activates and a signal is sent over the cellular network. General contractors, home builders, remodelers, landscapers, earthmoving contactors as well as electrical, mechanical and HVAC professionals can utilize the MobileLock locator and alarm to monitor mobile assets on the jobsite. It is ideal for the protection of assets on commercial construction sites such as heavy construction equipment, office trailers, gang boxes, and remote storage containers. On residential construction sites, MobileLock can help deter the theft of tool trailers, appliances, landscaping materials and equipment as well as thefts from garages or open rooms under construction. write your comments about the article :: © 2006 Construction News :: home page |
