There are hundreds of products on the market to help protect your vehicle. A vehicle security system will trigger a siren when someone is tampering with your car or truck. An immobilizer will prevent thieves from stealing your vehicle. A dash cam records everything around your car or truck while driving and shows you what’s happened when parked. Imagine combining all of these products into a single solution. The Drone XC from Ralph’s Radio in Vancouver and Victoria does just that.
What is the Drone System?
For years, Drone and the DroneMobile smartphone app have been our go-to solution for vehicle remote control and security monitoring. Drone uses a cellular data connection to communicate with the DroneMobile app on your phone almost anywhere in the world. In seconds, you can lock the doors, start the engine, or get notifications from the security sensor. Premium service plans add location-based features like vehicle tracking, geofence warnings, and curfew alerts, to name a few. If your vehicle is moved, the Drone will let you know. In fact, you’ll get a notification if someone tries to jack up the vehicle or drag it onto a flatbed. This is one of the best vehicle security technologies available, and now they’ve improved it.
Introducing Drone XC
The Drone XC combines a premium dash cam with an amazing Drone vehicle control system. From a dash cam perspective, the system features a 2K QHD forward-facing camera that records 30 frames per second and has a massive 154-degree field of view. We can upgrade the Drone XC with a rear-facing or interior secondary camera to provide additional coverage. The system includes parking mode monitoring. When you park your vehicle, Drone XC monitors what’s happening. You can have the system wake up and record a one-minute video when the integration shock sensor detects an impact. The Drone XC can also record continuously in regular or time-lapse modes to the included 64 GB micro SD card. We’ll help you choose the best setting for your vehicle protection concerns. As mentioned, the system includes an onboard security sensor. Using a high-precision accelerometer, the system detects impacts and shocks, motion, and tilting. You’ll be notified if someone is trying to steal a set of wheels or the catalytic converter. A glass-breakage microphone is also included in the protection suite.
Connected Dash Cam
So far, we’ve described typical high-quality dash cams and vehicle tracking solutions. Here’s where the Drone XC stands apart: You can see what the camera sees on your smartphone’s DroneMobile app. Imagine getting a notification that the security sensor in your Drone has detected an impact. Typically, you’d have to run to the window to see what’s happening. With the Drone XC, open the app on your smartphone to see what the camera sees in real time. If it’s just kids playing hockey in the street and bumping your car, you can trigger the alarm to tell them to be careful. If someone more nefarious is working on breaking into the vehicle, add a call to law enforcement to the siren activation. You can even look at the secondary camera video feed if we’ve installed one. Other dash cams have internet connectivity, but none include built-in LTE cellular communication and security features.
The Ultimate Real-Time Vehicle Protection and Control Solution
With the Drone XC in your car, truck, or SUV, you have complete smartphone control over locking, trunk release, and remote starting from anywhere. Even if you work in an office tower, factory, or school, as long as you have access to the Internet, you are connected to your vehicle. The premium dash cam solution protects you from false accusations and insurance fraud when driving. Of course, it provides excellent “you won’t believe what I saw today” content for your social media accounts. Finally, connecting the two provides the best security and monitoring solution to protect your pride and joy.
