Starcom launches smart Watchlock Pro padlock

Wireless remote tracking and monitoring products company Starcom launched a new security tech product on Thursday - Watchlock Pro.

The AIM-traded company said Watchlock Pro is a more advanced version of the Watchlock - a reporting padlock that provides real-time alerts, and was awarded Physical Security Product of the Year Award at IFSEC 2012.

It said the Watchlock is an “intelligent locking solution,” which is completely autonomous and battery powered and can be utilised for a number of applications.

Starcom said its main function is to provide security at remote places, properties and offsite locations, while also offering tracking and monitoring of mobile assets.

“Watchlock Pro offers enhanced and more robust security,” Starcom’s board said.

“It runs off an improved processor, incorporates a GNSS (GPS/GLONASS) receiver, a new cellular modem and battery life increased six fold, to around six months with four transmissions per day.

“Additional technological innovations and unique capabilities are expected to be released in due course.”
