DataDot
Over 700 000 vehicles are fitted with DataDot in South Africa.
Reduces your chance of Hijacking or theft by 50%! Criminals avoid DataDot.
If your car does not have DataDot it is an easy target for thieves.
All South African motor manufacturers are now microdotting their vehicles in anticipation of government legislation expected to be enacted early 2012. Why is the government legislating for the microdotting of all new and imported vehicles? The simple answer is that it is currently too easy for criminals to change the identity of a vehicle and either put that stolen vehicle back on the road, export it or chop it up for parts.
Theft DeterrentMicro dotting a vehicle makes it virtually impossible to change that vehicles original identity. This acts as a powerful deterrent to criminal syndicates to leave microdotted vehicles alone as these are now seen as being "too hot to handle".
Theft RecoveryBetween 12 000 and 14 000 recovered vehicles to the value of R1 billion are crushed every year because the owners cannot be traced. Microdotted vehicles, however, have a high recovery rate. A study conducted by Business Against Crime South Africa found that the recovery rate of cars with microdot technology is 91 percent.
How does DataDot® work?
- Thousands of DataDots are sprayed onto various locations on your car.
- The unique code on each DataDot is then stored on a secure national database, which can be accessed by police if your car is stolen.
- The DataDots are almost invisible to the naked eye, but can be detected by a UV light and magnifying device.
- It's virtually impossible to locate and remove all the DataDots, making it extremely difficult for thieves to sell your car or car parts without fear of being caught.
- Warning stickers act as a further deterrent to thieves.
