AlterLock evolved
AlterLock has evolved even further.
We’ve retained the concept of movement detection alarms and tracking features, while enhancing transmission area, device tracking performance, durability, and uptime. With riders and cyclists in mind, we’ve modernized the functionality everyway conceivable.
The advanced AlterLock Gen3 system bolsters sense of security and amplifies the joy of riding to a new level.
Motion detection alarm for peace of mind
When motion is detected a loud alarm sound of up to 95dB is triggered to deter theft by a loud alarm sound of up to 95dB. The motion detection sensitivity and alarm sounding time can be adjusted to accommodate a variety of situations and provide peace of mind, even on a bike rack.
Although taking extra precaution is highly recommended, we have received many reports of cases where the alarm went off causing the perpetrator to fleeing the scene.
In most cases, it is important to prevent theft before it happens.
Evolved transmission performance
When the device detects movement, the device will send out a signal (by Bluetooth for close range and LTE-M / NB-IoT transmission over long distances) to notify the user of the anomaly via a unique notification tone from the app.
Compared to previous model, AlterLock Gen3 boasts significantly improved transmission performance and reception capability in a wide range of areas globally.
Improved tracking performance
In the unlikely event that your bike is stolen, AlterLock can track it using GNSS (GPS & Galileo), Wi-Fi and 4G base station signals to attempt to locate the final location both indoors and outdoors.
AlterLock Gen3 has improved the algorithm for acquiring location information to shorten positioning time and improve accuracy. This new system is the first of its kind in the world.
Unlike loss prevention devices like Bluetooth tracker, AlterLock independently tracks its location.
Eliminate Ride Anxiety
Do you want to enjoy cycling but worried about theft?
Are you comfortable with just a wire lock, but don’t want to carry heavy bolt locks?
Even during café rides or quick breaks, most people feel insecure about taking their eyes off the bike.
Even storing bikes on the home premise causes significant level of anxiety.
With AlterLock, you can always check the presence of your bike from the app.
Significant sense of security.
Three locking methods
Three lock/unlock operations are provided with the rider and cyclist in mind.
You can take a break between rides and get going right away without having to remove your gloves or take out your phone each time.
App operation | One-tap operation from the AlterLock app |
Button operation | When the phone is in close proximity, push the buttons on the main unit. |
Auto-Lock | Automatically locks when the phone is away from device. Automatically unlocks when the phone is within range. |
Countermeasures against false positives
Worried about accidentally setting off an alarm?
The first warning alarm is designed to set off to serve as a short warning.
In case of actual theft, a loud alarm can be used to deter further action.
The alarm duration can be set anywhere from 5 to 60 seconds, and there is also an option to mute the alarm sound if situation may fit. With all settings easily adjustable via the app, there is no need to worry about the alarm ringing continuously and disturbing neighbors.
Compatible with bike racks
By setting the detection sensitivity to “Low,” which is optimized for cycle rack usage, the system can be used with peace of mind even if there is some lateral swaying due to wind or other rack users nudging your bike.
