How It Works

Our system comprises of 3 subsystem:

1. Metal shield
The metal shield is made from aerospace-graded aluminum, which is strong, durable, and light, with a goal of lengthen the cutting time to at least 90 seconds. The shield is specifically designed and tested such that heat dissipation capability of catalytic converter will not be affected.

2. Detection Unit
The detection unit has motion sensors to detect suspicious motion near the converter. On top of that, conductive sensing mechanism, which comprises of a matrix of electrified wires embedded on top of the metal shield, immediately triggers when one of the wires is cut. The redundancy of two detection mechanism ensures accurate detection of theft attempts.

3. Alarming Unit
Once the detection unit detects a theft attempt, a sound alarm with 130dB noise is immediately triggered. The unit will also send SMS notification to user’s phone.
