Datatag launch a new, thatcham, approved, security system for
caravans and motor homes
9 November 2009
Datatag the market leader in security and registration has
announced a new security system for caravans and motor homes. The
new Datatag system is to be distributed
exclusively by Knott-Avonride Limited in association
with Miriad Products Ltd, both
leading suppliers of caravan and trailer components and
accessories. The Datatag electronic identification system is
designed to act as both a deterrent against theft and as a powerful
way to recover in the event of a theft. The system is designed to
be installed by the owner of the caravan or motor home.
It is easy to install and yet effective. The Datatag system
contains everything that is required and includes:
- 2 types of electronic transponder, each with a unique embedded
identification number
- New liquid forensic DNA solution containing thousands of
microscopic Datadots
- 2 “tamper evident” chassis plates
- High quality warning labels
- Registration form
Installation of the Datatag security technologies gives the
caravan or motor home a unique “fingerprint” that can be
established, by the police or the insurance industry, in a number
of different ways. The liquid DNA and Datadots can be applied to
the caravan contents, TV’s or cookers for example. The unique
identity is virtually impossible to remove, how ever hard a
criminal may try.
All UK Police Forces have been equipped Free of Charge with
thousands of special Datatag scanners that are specifically
programmed to read the Datatag electronic transponders help the
police to gain the upper hand and defeat criminals and their
networks.
The main benefits for the police, compared to other tagging
systems, is that with this new system they are already equipped
with the scanners to conduct a roadside check and they can contact
Datatag call centre at any time of day or night 365 days a
year.
The police can establish the caravan or its contents true
identity from the tamper evident registration number or the
“electronic fingerprint” from the Datadot’s and forensic DNA even
if the caravan has been modified or painted. All Datatag systems
meet the “Secured by Design” standard,
the Association of Chief Police
Officers preferred specification for security marking.
Spokesperson for Towergate Bakers, Paul
Havenhand says, “Datatag is an effective way to help protect your
treasured possessions from being stolen.”
