'RimTech' is an intuitive anti-theft system that connects your car, specifically your wheels, directly to your phone. Anti-theft technology is nothing new, but RimTech is the first of its kind. If your car is being broken into, the RimTech automatically notifies your phone, the police and tracks the movement of your tires should your car be moving. Not only is RimTech concerned with theft prevention, they are equally focused on recovering your car if it is stolen.
Unique to this anti-theft system is an automatic text not only to you but also sent to a predetermined friend. Additionally, a camera is set up on the steering wheel, providing instant evidence if a crime is being committed.
RimTech hopes to make their system available to all types of cars in the future.
