Watchlock Pro is the advanced version of the Watchlock - a reporting padlock which provides real time alerts and was awarded Physical Security Product of the Year Award at IFSEC 2012.

The Watchlock is an intelligent locking solution which is completely autonomous and battery powered, and can be utilised for many applications. Its main function is to provide security at remote places, properties and offsite locations, while also offering tracking and monitoring of mobile assets.

Watchlock Pro offers enhanced and more robust security. It runs off an improved processor, incorporates a GNSS (GPS/GLONASS) receiver, a new cellular modem and battery life increased six fold, to around six months with four transmissions per day. Additional technological innovations and unique capabilities are expected to be released in due course.
