– Bluetooth recognition of the owner and family members (up to 10 in all) for a user-friendly experience: if you walk away at 15-20 meters Voilà won’t see you and will start the Anti-theft module; and vice-versa.
– Voilà also features a Microcontroller with complex Anti-theft and Localization logic inside.
– The Operations Center able to manage all the services provided to our customers.
