Those that own a car understand the importance of a good security system that will guarantee that their vehicle is safe. There are many options up to date that offer their services of protecting your car from being stolen. BlackLine GPS introduced recently their new innovation the Seeker, a device not a lot larger by size than a car remote key, which persistently monitors the automatically configured GPS security perimeter.

The way it functions seems to be effective and easy to understand: when an unauthorized person moves the vehicle outside the established perimeter, the device instantly notifies the owner through SMS or email and sends an alert to the BlackLine Recovery Service, initiating a recovery process. It is curious to notice that during these procedures, BlackLine works in collaboration with the local authority to succeed in recovering the missing vehicle and to catch the thief.

For owners that some times forget where they have parked their cars, this device can be a real time-saver, as it can help them track the location of their vehicles via their cell phones or by using the BlackLine’s website. The future owners of Seeker will have the option to track their family members in case of an emergency and not only, by using real-time and scheduled GPS tracking.

The device comes along with a key fob that the owner carries with him. It allows the owner to arm and disarm the device’s security function. When the owner approaches the established perimeter, it automatically disarms, opposed to when the owner leaves the perimeter, Seeker appoints an armed security mode.

Another characteristic included is the fact that the Seeker allows you to share your location with others, so that the people you are sharing this information with know where you currently are and where you have been. This alternative is especially useful when traveling in a group of vehicles, it being essential to know each vehicle’s location.

Seeker requires a two-wire connection, being compatible with 12VDC and 24VDC power systems. The Seeker can report on the car’s battery level to the owner by use of mobile phone and emails. A useful tool of the Seeker consists in the fact that in case the power supply is disconnected, it switches automatically to the internal battery that lasts two days and which is rechargeable, at the same time letting the owner know about the upcoming issue.

For all car-owners that think it would be a good feature for their vehicle, keep your eyes on the market as the BlackLine GPS Seeker is coming out in the beginning of the year.
