Firstech to Promote Vehicle Security Solutions During Auto Theft Prevention Month
July marks Auto Theft Prevention Month, a crucial time to highlight the escalating issue of vehicle theft and the innovative solutions available to protect your valuable assets. Car theft and vandalism continue to be a significant concern for drivers across the nation, resulting in substantial financial burdens for individuals and insurance companies alike.
In 2024, over 850,700 vehicles were reported stolen in the U.S., a staggering number despite a 17% decrease from 2023. This still translates to approximately one vehicle being stolen every 37 seconds. The financial repercussions are immense, with auto thefts contributing an estimated $7.4 billion to insurance fraud annually. Beyond the direct cost of a stolen vehicle, drivers face increased insurance premiums, potential loss of personal belongings, and the general inconvenience and emotional distress that comes with being a victim of crime.
Fortunately, modern technology offers robust defenses against these threats. Firstech, a leader in vehicle security and convenience solutions, provides a comprehensive suite of products designed to combat today’s sophisticated car thieves.
Advanced Security for Modern Threats:
Compustar Car Alarms: These aren’t your average car alarms. Compustar systems are engineered with advanced features like relay attack prevention and starter-disable technology. Relay attacks, where thieves amplify your key fob’s signal to unlock and start your car, are a growing concern. Compustar’s Secure Push-to-Start feature disables your vehicle’s ignition when armed, ensuring that even if a thief gains entry, they can’t drive away without your authorized Compustar remote or DroneMobile app.
DroneMobile GPS Tracking: For ultimate peace of mind and rapid vehicle recovery, DroneMobile offers powerful GPS tracking capabilities. Should your vehicle be stolen, you can pinpoint its exact location in real-time and even set up geofences to receive alerts when your car enters or leaves specific areas. This feature has proven invaluable in countless vehicle recovery cases, often leading to quick and successful returns.
Momento and Drone XC Dash Cams: These intelligent dash cameras act as your always-on witness, recording activity around your vehicle, even when parked. With features like parking mode, motion detection, and impact sensing, Momento and Drone XC dash cams can provide crucial video evidence in the event of an accident, hit-and-run, or vandalism, helping to reduce the risk of accident fraud and expedite insurance claims. The Drone XC, in particular, offers live streaming over LTE and integrates seamlessly with Compustar alarms, initiating recordings when security sensors are triggered.
Professional Installation: Your Best Defense
While Firstech’s technology is cutting-edge, professional installation is key to maximizing its effectiveness.
