How does SMART® Active work?
Offenders are fitted with a very lightweight, tamper-resistant ankle bracelet and assigned a SMART® Active tracking unit to keep near them at all times. The ankle bracelet acts as an "electronic tether" which transmits signals to the tracking unit. The SMART® Active tracking unit uses GPS signals and a wireless network to locate and report an offender's every move.
SMART® Active monitors the signal strength of the GPS satellites to ensure accurate location information and incorporates a motion detector to monitor movement in areas of insufficient GPS signal strength.
At home, the SMART® Active tracking unit is placed in the base unit for recharging. The base unit also serves as a full home detention curfew system. Pro Tech's Surveillence Data Center records all monitoring information. The SMART® Active tracking unit is equipped with an LCD used to notify the offender of violations and for sending text messages from the agency.
This patented communication capability has demonstrated its effectiveness in modifying offender behavior and reducing recidivism. Agencies can create multiple inclusion and exclusion zones, and be notified by fax, pager, SMS or email whenever a zone violation occurs.
