Tech Overview: TE ID Labels | Datadots® | RFID Transponders


Identification of stolen all terain vehicles has now been made easier with CESAR.

Utility and All Terrain vehicles (quads and side by sides) are a prime target for organised criminal gangs operating in the rural environment due to their small size and relatively large risk free returns.

CESAR ATV combines Datatag's state of the art security marking technologies to provide an almost impenetrable layer of identification which deters theft in the first instance and aides recovery if a machine is taken.

Fitted as standard to a growing list of manufacturers and endorsed by the NFU, the UK's leading insurer of rural communities and their assets, it has made a name for itself as a "don't touch" product among the criminal fraternity.

CESAR acts as a significant deterrent against theft due to it's almost unbeatable layers of security marking technologies and as an invaluable aid to recovery. CESAR marked ATVs are more than twice as likely to be recovered as unmarked equipment.

FAQs

CESAR is made up of state of the art Datatag technologies including the unique tamper evident ID plates, Datatadots® and RFID Transponders. Once a machine is fitted with CESAR it is practically impossible to hide its true identity and in the unlikely event of a theft the police have 24/7 access to the database through the secure contact centre which enables them to positively identify the stolen machine and recover it back to its rightful owner.
This uniquely numbered tamper evident ID plate gives each piece of equipment it's own unique identity. Datatag will take legal action against any copying or unauthorised production of these unique ID plates that contain Datatag's world wide registered trademark.
Datadots are transparent microscopic plastic discs (less than 1mm in diameter) printed with a unique alpha numeric code and listing Datatag's telephone number. There are hundreds within the system and they are applied in hidden places all over the vehicle. Only one is required to prove ownership therefore a thief would have to be 100% confident that they had found and removed every single one to avoid detection and prosecution.
No, these unique electronic transponders contain no 'working' parts and therefore neither wear out or need servicing. They are powered by, or "wake up", only when interrogated by the special Datatag scanners provided to the Police.
Since 1992, Datatag has distributed thousands of their scanners free of charge to all UK Police Forces including some in Europe to help combat crime and identify stolen property.
