ALARM SYSTEM FOR DETECTING A REMOVAL OF A CATALYTIC CONVERTER

[Category : - Automotive Accessories - Security and alarms]
[Viewed 49 times]

This is a Catalytic Converter Alarm System designed specifically to address the growing problem of catalytic converter theft. Traditional car alarms are not effective against this kind of fast, targeted theft. Thieves can steal a catalytic converter in seconds without triggering standard alarms. Our system directly monitors the exhaust system and detects any cutting activity or tampering in real-time, triggering an immediate, loud alert to scare off the thief before they can complete the theft. Unlike general car alarms, this product targets the specific point of vulnerability: the catalytic converter. The system is universal, designed to fit most gas-powered vehicles without requiring modifications to the vehicle’s existing security systems. In addition to the patent, the complete package includes fully developed production files: the copyrighted microcontroller firmware, the PCB design, and the mechanical case design. A buyer would receive everything needed to manufacture, modify, or expand the product. The system offers potential for extension into other markets (e.g., construction equipment, fleet vehicles, HVAC systems) where high-value components are frequently targeted by thieves.

Thanks for reading.

Financial information

Catalytic converter theft has become a major and growing issue, with replacement costs for consumers often ranging from $1,000 to $3,000 per incident. Insurance claims related to converter thefts have risen sharply, over 325% nationally from 2019 to 2022, according to the National Insurance Crime Bureau (NICB).

With more than 290 million registered vehicles in the United States alone, and catalytic converters being a standard component on almost all gasoline-powered vehicles, the potential market for a dedicated theft-prevention system is substantial.

This alarm system provides a cost-effective solution in a market where theft-prevention products are becoming a necessity rather than an optional add-on. The system can be sold to consumers, auto shops, dealerships, fleet management companies, and insurers as a preventative measure, creating multiple avenues for monetization through direct sales, licensing, or partnerships.
