We all know that CAD systems can be VERY expensive; often a hundred thousand dollars or more. Our CAD system is different. The price is just 2 Cents! It could be free, but we had to charge something!
That’s our system shown at the right between the two fingers. It loads on to an existing vehicle laptop computer with built in GPS, which is standard with most law enforcement grade vehicular laptops. Most likely you already have an Air card if you are using a vehicle laptop. On that assumption, let’s set up our system!
First, we take the disk and load the vehicle tracking program following the easy instructions on the disk. Within just a few minutes the program will be loaded. We can even hide the program so that the vehicle driver will never know it’s there!
After the program is loaded, the vehicle is being tracked 24/7 with 10 second updates using GPS satellite technology. As the information is updated, it is automatically transmitted via the Air card to a secure Internet site. Now we are ready for the next step.
Now, we log into a secure web site, enter our unique Login and Password, and just like magic, our tracked vehicle appears (along with other vehicles in the fleet when applicable). Your dispatchers will instantly know who is available and who is closest for response.
From an administrative perspective, you can set up the system for daily reports to indicate excessive speed, long stops, even leaving the assigned operations area. If you wish, you can have an email sent to key personnel with the occurrence of any of the aforementioned events.
The cost of this incredible system is just $175 annually per vehicle after a one time $50 software fee. The Internet based CAD system has a one-time cost of two cents, maybe less if you are a good negotiator! Kind of makes you wonder how we do it huh? There is an easy way to find out how we do it – Try one!
