LAS VEGAS, NV - JANUARY 7, 2013 - LVCC, CENTERHALL, BOOTH 10415 -- Audiovox Electronics Corporation (AEC), a wholly-owned subsidiary of VOXX International Corp. (NASDAQ: VOXX), announced today the expansion of its InSite wireless separation and anti-loss product line, with four new models. The two, child locator separation alarms, have an operating range of up to 150 feet away, a loud 90dB ring that will bring instant attention to a child's location and they come in two different styles -- soccer ball and flower. The other devices are both Bluetooth® smart, 4.0 low energy wireless separation / anti-loss alarm with Insite app and are compatible with the iPhone 4S, 5 & newer
models, the iPad 3rd & 4th Gen, and the iPad Mini & newer models. Simply pair the device to your Bluetooth-enabled product or attach the signal transmitter to your valuable devices. The receiver will alert you via alarm if you leave a pre-determined area without your valuable electronics.
"According to the FBI, over 2,000 missing child reports are received PER DAY; there are over 58,000 real abductions in the U.S. annually and over 800,000 kids are reported lost every year. These unbelievable stats highlight the need to protect our children and loved ones. Audiovox believes our two new systems provide a low cost but effective separation alarm solution that is a much needed
necessity. Our separation alarms are fun for kids and great for a parent's peace of mind," said Tom
Malone, President, Audiovox Electronics Corp.
Malone continued, "There are millions of iPhone, iPad and iPad Mini models in the market today that offer low energy Bluetooth. Our new Bluetooth low energy devices are an easy decision for consumers to keep track of those valuable devices. Low energy means the battery will last for over one year and uses low power for Bluetooth connection, which won't drain a device's battery like previous Bluetooth versions. We also partnered with Phone Halo to develop a mobile app which will allow for two-way functionality between the InSite device and smartphone or tablet."
The CRF103 (soccer ball style) and CRF104 (flower style) child locator separation alarms have an operating range of approximately 150 feet away, a loud 90dB ring which bring instant attention to a child's
location and use a coin cell battery. The simplicity of the technology is what works best for these alarms…the parent carries a transmitter on a keychain or purse and presses the alarm button on the receiver unit if the child is suddenly out of view. By using the velcro strap, the receiver can attach to several items, like a sneaker, belt loop, back pack and more. The CRF103 (soccer ball style) and CRF104 (flower style) will be available in the spring with an MSRP of $34.99.
The LBL808 and LBL809 ultra slim, tiny Bluetooth smart, 4.0 low energy wireless separation / anti-loss alarms are also compatible with iPhone 4S, 5 & newer as well as iPad 3rd & 4th Gen, iPad Mini & newer models.
These receivers feature a coin cell battery which lasts for
approximately one year of continuous use, alerts users when a device or phone becomes separated by
Bluetooth distance of an estimated 30-60 feet and comes with a downloadable app for two-way functions. The app provides the ability to ring a device, link status, control battery levels, and has a GPS location map which shows where the device was last seen. It also allows customizable rings or song selections and permits multiple devices to be used on the same app. The LBL808 and LBL809 will be available in the spring with and MSRP of $39.99.
"Smartphones have tremendous untapped potential to help solve our daily problems. InSite harnesses new wireless capabilities to provide a solution to the problem of losing wallets, keys, computers, and anything consumers could lose," says Christian Smith, Phone Halo co-founder. "InSite is a simple alternative to searching for lost keys in the morning and leaving your wallet in a restaurant."
