What is lojack?

LoJack is a vehicle tracking system that is used to help recover stolen vehicles. It was invented in 1978 by William R. Gorog and is now operated by CalAmp. The system works by installing a small hidden transceiver in a vehicle, which emits a silent signal that can be tracked by law enforcement in the event of a theft.

Once a vehicle equipped with LoJack is reported stolen, the transceiver is activated and emits a signal that can be detected by police cars equipped with LoJack tracking devices. This allows law enforcement to track the stolen vehicle and recover it quickly before it can be stripped for parts or sold.

LoJack is available in over 30 countries and has been successfully used to recover over 200,000 stolen vehicles worldwide. It is considered to be one of the most effective vehicle recovery systems on the market, with a recovery rate of over 90% in the United States.
