The Ultimate System - CAPTOR-RF/GPS/GSM
 
CAPTOR recovery unit with specialized RF tracking equipment

What is RF?

Radio Frequency (RF) are radio waves at a certain frequency. Just like your radio station, these radio waves are broadcasted from radio towers which are picked up by a receiver which then convert the waves into useful information, such as music.

This can work the other way, where the vehicle is broadcasting the RF signal which is then picked up by receivers at the RF towers.

CAPTOR has a private network of RF towers situated around Peninsular Malaysia using its own private network. This allows your vehicle to be tracked even though it has gone outside of GSM coverage.


How RF Tracking Works

Your CAPTOR system has an RF beacon which transmits a RF signal. This signal transmits an ID which is unique to each system. This signal can be picked up by the specialized RF tracking equipment of CAPTOR's Recovery Teams.

Once the signal has been picked up, Recovery Teams can "home-in" onto the beacon by signal strength, right up until the exact vehicle. Therefore, even if your vehicle has had its license plates changed or undergone cosmetic changes, we would still be able to differentiate your stolen vehicle.

RF tracking allows for tracking outside of GPS and GSM coverage. If your vehicle has gone underground or is hidden within a container where GPS signals can't reach, tracking via RF is still possible. If your vehicle has gone outside of GSM coverage or is being jammed, RF tracking is still possible.

Strengths of RF

RF tracking has been used for many decades to much success. It is this RF tracking capability that makes CAPTOR different from the rest.

   - RF allows tracking to continue even if asset is outside of GPS or GSM coverage
   - RF allows tracking underground or if the vehicle is hidden within containers. CAPTOR has recovered      vehicle within containers before.

   - Recovery Teams can "home-in" onto the target. Even if the vehicle is amidst hundreds of similar      vehicles and had its license plates changed, it can still be found.
   - RF is not susceptible to GSM jamming
   - Offers an additional platform of communication

Weaknesses of RF

   - RF tracking is a "slowly but surely" tracking method. It cannot precisely pin-point the location of the       vehicle until it has homed-in on it
   - RF is limited by RF network

These weaknesses are complimented by GPS tracking.

Testimony : Sahimi Bin Sani


Hijacked after 5 years – Sahimi Bin Sani has been renewing his CAPTOR services diligently for 5 years to protect his Lexus RX300. It paid off when his wife was hijacked on her way to work by armed men.

"You never know when it will happen to you. I am glad that CAPTOR was there when this happened."

Superior RF Technology


CAPTOR has shown outstanding results in car theft prevention and recovery. To date, CAPTOR has recovered stolen vehicles at over 90% success rate for Allianz.

Allianz recommends the CAPTOR system due to its superior RF (radio frequency) technology which is resistant to GSM jamming and also its proven track record.
