Amazon.com Product Description

It’s hard to know where to begin with an anti-theft alarm and tracking system this sophisticated and user-friendly. With anti-theft sensors that detect vibration, temperature, tampering, and door-contact, a tracking device that works indoors and out, a tracking service that lets you customize everything via the Web or phone, and an alarm system with siren and electronic phone/email alerts, there’s just no better way to protect machinery, trailers, vehicles, and more than with DeWalt’s MobileLock. The perfect security system for general contractors, home builders, remodelers, and landscapers, this portable, wireless locating and alarm system attaches to heavy machinery, tool trailers, vehicles, power tools, and more; making would-be thieves think again before trying to nab your stuff, and easy to follow if they take it anyway.

Equipped with a state-of-the-art Global Positioning System (GPS), the MobileLock mounts to equipment, storage containers and other assets with either its integrated, heavy-duty magnet or with included screw fasteners. If an intruder tries to enter a secured area, disturb protected equipment, or remove the Mobilelock from what it’s attached to, the MobileLock alarm siren sounds, and alerts are sent via cellular technology to up to three different phone numbers or email addresses you select.

Weatherproof, impact resistant, heat resistant, portable and wireless, the MobileLock works indoors and out; protecting valuable tools, vehicles and machinery, rain or shine, and tracking it all the way to and inside chop shops, thief-owned garages, or wherever the crooks try to house your stuff. The MobileLock runs off of rechargeable lithium ion batteries, staying armed for 30 days on a single charge (or, an extended runtime kit (DS505K) that boosts runtime up to 90 days is available separately) to protect appliances, garages, open rooms under construction, landscaping materials and equipment.

Great for commercial construction sites, electrical, mechanical and HVAC professionals, the Mobilelock locator and alarm is a user-friendly, self-installed system that you can customize to fit specific applications and security needs. Sensor features and the GPS locator can be accessed via cell phone or through the Mobilelock Web site, where you can log on to customize settings and monitor equipment. The system easily programs for personalized arm and disarm schedules, to change alert contacts (up to three via phone or e-mail), adjust siren settings, and report status information such as battery level and signal strength--whatever it takes to protect a wide variety of things, from heavy equipment, to office trailers, gang boxes to remote storage containers.

The MobileLock is equipped with a tamper sensor that protects the alarm itself. A door-contact sensor detects when vehicle doors are opened or shut. A vibration sensor detects whether engines on heavy machinery are started, if the trailer is in tow, or if the contractor’s saw is being toted across the parking lot. There’s even a temperature sensor for optimal protection. (An indoor motion detector kit (DS510K) that triggers the alarm if movement is detected up to 50 feet away is available separately.) Each sensor programs individually via cell phone or the Mobilelock Web site to monitor the mobile asset.

The Mobilelock cellular and location-based services utilize the Sprint Nationwide PCS Network. A one-year service plan at $19.95/month is required for first year. Once you've purchased your MobileLock, set up your service contract (see www.dewalt.com/us/security/mobilelock/rateplans.asp), and installed the unit, if the MobileLock-protected asset is disturbed, the alarm will sound and you'll receive a phone call or e-mail notifying you that there has been a security breach. You can log onto the MobileLock Web site, enter your personal pass code, and then access street maps or satellite imagery showing the approximate location of the MobileLock unit for quick recovery. --Brian D.

This review is from: DEWALT DS500 MobileLock GPS Locator with Anti-Theft Alarm (Tools & Home Improvement)

This device is not yet perfect, however, it is probably the most protection you can get for the money. The only area we have had a problem has been with the arm/disarm schedule. Tech support has been very helpful, and it appears we now have that little glitch fixed. I recomend it for tool trailer applications.
