SQUIDD Lock Introduces the World's First Anti-Theft Smart Lock with Community-Based App

PARIS, Nov. 5, 2019  /PRNewswire/ -- SQUIDD Lock, the world's first anti-theft bicycle smart lock with built-in sensors, mobile alerts, GPS tracking, alarms and a community-based app, was announced today to provide riders with an unrivalled level of security and prevention from theft.  Available now on Indiegogo, SQUIDD Lock can be purchased at special "Early Bird" pricing of $159 at https://igg.me/at/squiddlock.

With over two million bicycles stolen annually in North America, bike theft is a huge issue that needs a simple solution. SQUIDD Lock, which delivers the ultimate in security, provides users with peace of mind, so that they can know their bikes are safe.  Featuring built-in sensors and a high-decibel alarm that is activated when the lock is tampered with, the lock stops most thefts before they even happen, and helps recover stolen bikes via its powerful community-based app that helps track the bicycle via GPS. 

With a battery that lasts up to two years and an easy-to-use mounting bracket, riders can attach SQUIDD Lock and forget it is there until needed.  SQUIDD Lock can be easily controlled from any smartphone/smartwatch (including Apple Watch), allowing users to unlock/lock the device, and receive real-time alerts and notifications.

"With a bicycle stolen every 30 seconds in the U.S., it's truly the perfect time for the introduction of a SQUIDD Lock, a powerful anti-theft device for bicycles and more," said Léandre Desmaretz, President & Communication Director, SQUIDDY.  "Not only does it help reduce bike theft, but it also helps recover stolen bikes, providing an unmatched level of protection, security and safety for users around the world."

ALERTS AND TRACKING
SQUIDD Lock features real-time alerts and a tracking system delivering a "LoJack"-like resource for any two-wheeled vehicle. The lock can be used anywhere a traditional padlock is needed, including school/gym lockers, garages, gates, etc.  SQUIDD Lock defends against theft by sending real-time alerts to the SQUIDD Lock mobile app when the sensors are activated.  The tracking system allows users to know the bike's exact location as the system's GPS tracking is accurate to within two meters. 

The system includes three types of alerts:    
- Motion Alert: allows users to know when their property has been moved
- Theft Alert: allows users to know the bike has been stolen
- Community Alert: allows users to track stolen goods or add information on the robbery

COMMUNITY-BASED APP
All SQUIDD Lock users can access the product's free community-based app featuring automatic notifications, real-time alerts and group chats, so everyone can stay up-to-date in case of a robbery.  The app allows users to add priority contacts that can be alerted in case of theft no matter where they may be located.  When a SQUIDD Lock alarm is triggered, any person using the app within 200 meters (even if they have not purchased the SQUIDD Lock) will be notified, providing an additional level of community involvement and protection.  App users can also track the position of stolen bikes, and potentially help and/or recover them if they are in the area.
