Hawk Systems, Inc. Launches Biometrics in the Auto Industry (Fingerprint Car Starter) SECUREPASSTM
JUNE 28, 2010 – WEST PALM BEACH, FL (BUSINESS WIRE) Auto theft is one of the biggest problems in the US today. According to the National Insurance Crime Bureau, a vehicle is stolen in the US every 26 seconds. Hawk Systems, Inc.’s (OTCBB:HWSY) (“Hawk Systems”) has an innovative solution designed to protect from vehicle theft with the installation of Hawk Systems’ patented biometric fingerprint technology.
Hawk Systems (www.hawksystemsinc.com) delivered last week the first 28 units of its patented biometric vehicle identification car starter system to 45th Street Auto Sales, Inc. The Hawk Biometric Vehicle Identification Car Starter (SECUREPASSTM) is a fingerprint-identification security technology device offering automotive security to automobile owners, buyers and dealers alike.
45th Street Auto Sales, Inc., is a Buy Here Pay Here car lot located in West Palm Beach Florida. 45th Street Auto Sales has also signed a contract to install Hawk Systems’ SECUREPASSTM System Vehicle Identification System on all cars sold by 45th Street Auto Sales.
Hawk Systems’ goal with the SECUREPASSTM technology is focused on prevention; rather than just the recovery of a vehicle after it has been stolen. The SECUREPASSTM system offers a proactive measure to theft or car-jacking; in contrast, most of the security systems available today are reactive systems, such as: GPS, basic car alarms, and other similar systems, which emit only noise or radio signals while a vehicle is being stolen. Hawk Systems’ SECUREPASSTM system is a true multi-layer live fingerprint-ID security device, not just an optical scan of a fingerprint. The system offers redundant, fail-safe automotive security and once installed it will render the vehicle inoperable to any non-authorized user. The SECUREPASSTM system supports up to 16 approved users per vehicle.
Michael Diamant, CEO, stated “Hawk Systems believes fingerprint security will, in the coming year or two, be as common as cell phones. With an increase in vehicle thefts occurring, people will see the benefit to protecting their vehicle before it is stolen rather than trying to locate and recover it after the fact. We believe that SECUREPASSTM provides that proactive security.”
About Hawk Systems, Inc.: Hawk Systems, Inc., is a developer of innovative fingerprint authentication technology that it believes offers high degrees of security, convenience, and ease of use in applications such as automobile locks and potentially identity theft-protection. Hawk Systems believes that this type of technology can also be used for security in banking, healthcare, hotel/casino operations, employee time clock and attendance, stadium security, sporting and gaming applications where identity management is required.
