Reduce Vehicle Theft 40% with
BSM's Stinger Bait Car Technology
There were an estimated 1.2
million motor vehicle thefts in the United States for the calendar
year of 2002, a 1.4 percent increase over the 2001 year rate. The
estimated value of these stolen vehicles was over $8 billion
dollars.
Every day more than 442 vehicles
are reported stolen in Canada and more than 161,000 vehicles
annually. The cost to settle insurance claims related to these auto
thefts was well over $400 million in 2001. The number of vehicles
stolen in Canada and the value of related insurance claims has
increased significantly every year over the past decade.
The Stinger solution is an
innovative turnkey vehicle tracking and surveillance system
developed exclusively by BSM Wireless Inc. (formerly HGI Wireless
Inc.) for law enforcement bait vehicle programs. The BSM Stinger was
designed in close cooperation with North American police departments
and leading insurance companies.
The Stinger hardware is pre-installed in "bait vehicles" which are
left unattended in high auto-theft areas. Any one of eight possible
triggered events - such as a door or trunk opening or a vehicle
leaving or entering a geo-fence zone causes an audible alarm to go
off at the BSM Stinger monitoring workstation as well as alerting up
to three different pagers. |
