You’re probably aware of the benefits that any OBD car tracker can offer. However, you’re probably also aware that there are countless models and options available, which can make it difficult to know which one you should ultimately choose. Check out the CarLock features and benefits below and learn why CarLock is a suitable replacement for your Automatic OBD device.

1. Monitor your teenage driver

Teens need a certain amount of independence and it’s impossible to keep them under constant supervision. CarLock car tracking device is a great tool to monitor the teen’s actions behind the wheel in real-time. Not only it provides logs of trips taken, but it also tracks driving behaviors, such as harsh acceleration, harsh braking or harsh cornering. This enables parents to monitor their teens’ driving performance and real-time location, which is especially important during the first year of independent driving. CarLock also provides the driving score which is calculated based on driving behavior of your teenager: speeding, braking, acceleration, and cornering. The driving performance is reported via email on a weekly basis, which includes the number of harsh driving events as well as the number of trips and hours spent on the road.

2. Real-time location monitoring

CarLock can be of great help to lower your anxiety levels in a number of situations when it comes to the safety of your closest ones. It allows you to quickly locate a driver in real-time, which is especially important in the event of any inconvenience or an accident. The location of the vehicle is updated every 30 seconds when the car is moving and every 30 minutes when it’s stationary. CarLock even enables managing emergency contact numbers to provide SMS in case of a collision.

3. Detailed trip tracking

The CarLock solution enables constant vehicle monitoring and automatically logs the trips that were taken. It offers an advanced overview of trips, which can be displayed simply via the app on the phone. Besides the trip log showing the history of trips that were taken with a vehicle, CarLock also provides accurate information on trip duration as well as the driving distance. It also allows you to classify your trips as personal or business.

4. Additional layer of car security

CarLock provides the most advanced unique security features on the car tracking market. It enables users to be notified if the vehicle has been started by an unauthorized person, if any unusual vibrations have been detected, if the CarLock device has been disconnected, and if the vehicle has been moved or towed away.CarLock car tracking solution combines a GPS car tracking system and the alarm feature that is automatically set off only if someone is trying to break into the car or tow it away.

5. Multi-vehicle support

Thanks to the multi-vehicle monitoring option, CarLock GPS car tracker enables multi-vehicle monitoring and management within the same CarLock account. Owners of multiple cars and even small fleet owners are, therefore, allowed to add multiple vehicles to the CarLock account, easily switch among vehicles, and get notified for each of the vehicles separately. Additionally, the auto-lock scheduler feature allows scheduling time to automatically disable security monitoring when a certain vehicle is in use, whereas the security features are automatically enabled when the vehicle is parked. This helps to detect unauthorized driving of company vehicles and can prevent potential theft attempts.

6. Car health

With its advanced notification system, the CarLock solution helps to prevent the breakdowns long before they happen. It offers the “virtual mechanic” feature that actively monitors the car’s electrical system and notifies its users in case the car battery voltage is running abnormally low and if the high battery drain is detected. In the event of low battery, CarLock users receive the “high battery drain” alert and can quickly check whether the lights have been left on. When the battery voltage goes critically low, users are notified with the help of a “low battery” notification. In case the battery goes completely dead, the CarLock tracking system provides the “device disconnected” alert, meaning the vehicle power has run out. 

Due to security reasons, CarLock does not provide any diagnostic data. Since the beginning, the Carlock solution has been aimed to provide the safety features to the customers and all Carlock devices are designed in a way that they don’t actually connect to the car computer. As there is no chip inside the device for communication with the car computer, even in an event of the device being hacked, there is no way someone could remotely perform any action to your car.
