Pegasus Technologies develops stolen vehicle recovery systems including the VectorTrac3G system. The VectorTrac3G system uses a combination of GPS and radio frequency tracking technologies including vehicle locator units installed in customer vehicles, sector activation transceivers, a communications server, and mobile tracking receivers. When a vehicle is stolen, the system can activate the locator unit, track the radio signals to locate the vehicle, and optionally disable the engine remotely to aid recovery.

Who we are:
 Pegasus Technologies, Inc. was founded in 1991
to develop an affordable stolen vehicle recovery
technology
 In 1994, Pegasus introduced the ProAct Bait Car
System, our first Law Enforcement tracking
product
 In 1997, Pegasus introduced the VectorTrac
Stolen Vehicle Recovery System to international
markets

3. Pegasus Technologies, Inc. 3
ProAct
Bait Car System
ProAct Systems have been used successfully by law
enforcement agencies to capture car thieves since 1994
and are still regularly featured on the television show
Bait Car

4. Pegasus Technologies, Inc. 4
ProAct IV
Stolen Property Tracking System
Introduced in 2002, ProAct-IV has successfully captured and
jailed many hundreds of criminals. This is the technology
behind the bait bicycles of BaitBike.com and was recently
featured on the television show Inside Edition.

VectorTrac Communications Server
(VCS)
 Communicates with all system Sector
Activation Transceivers via an
Internet connection
 Communicates with all Control
Center Computers via the Internet
 Contains the Client Database and a
detailed System Operator Interface

15. Pegasus Technologies, Inc. 15
Sector Activation Transceivers
 A typical city-wide system may include 04 to 06
SATs
 SATs transmit commands to VLUs and receive
GPS and status data from VLUs
 SATs also measure the Received Signal Strength
of the VLU’s RF signal.
 SATs are connected to the internet via a
GSM/GPRS or other network connection and
communicate directly with the VCS

16. Pegasus Technologies, Inc. 16
Mobile Tracking Receiver

17. Pegasus Technologies, Inc. 17
Mobile Tracking Receiver
 Installed in Recovery Vehicles
 Receives RF signal from VLU up to 3 miles (5 km)
away
 Displays direction to stolen vehicle
 Displays received signal strength allowing close
approximation of distance
 Displays VLU ID number and ignition status
 Leads trackers to the exact location of stolen
vehicle, even if hidden from view

18. Pegasus Technologies, Inc. 18
Vehicle Locator Unit 3
 The VLU3 is a small Radio Transceiver with an
internal GPS Receiver, sold to your customers
and installed within their vehicles
 Includes GPS antenna, RF antenna, wire harness,
and backup battery
 Completely hidden and silent
 When activated, it transmits a silent radio signal
containing GPS data and status info
 Can be located using the GPS data or by utilizing
RF tracking techniques

19. Pegasus Technologies, Inc. 19
Vehicle Locator Unit –
Third Generation (VLU3)
Less than one inch thick, the Vehicle Locator Unit
is completely hidden within the Vehicle.
VLU shown with keys for size comparison

20. Pegasus Technologies, Inc. 20
VLU Installation
The VLU is interfaced with the vehicle, utilizing
the vehicle’s electrical system for power. This
also provides a constant charge to the VLU’s
internal backup battery.
The VLU has two remotely activated outputs that
can be activated from the control center to
disable the vehicle’s engine and control
additional functions.

21. Pegasus Technologies, Inc. 21
Many Valuable Features
 Hidden and Silent
VLU is hidden from view. Nothing on vehicle indicates that
the vehicle is equipped with a tracking device.
 Optional Panic Button
VLU has one alarm input. When activated, this will cause
the VLU to send an alarm message to the Control
Center.
 Remote Engine Disable
Control Center may remotely disable the vehicle in an
emergency situation and to aid in recovery.

Customer notices vehicle missing…
VectorTrac Control Center
Reports theft to
Control Center

24. Pegasus Technologies, Inc. 24
Control Center Verification
Control Center operator
accesses customer data
stored on the VCS, verifies
customer’s identification
and vehicle information,
then sends activation
command to activate the
VLU in the stolen vehicle.

25. Pegasus Technologies, Inc. 25
Activation Signal is
Transmitted
Sector Activation Transceivers
broadcast the activation signal
throughout the coverage area.
This SAT is located on an existing
tower with many other users.

26. Pegasus Technologies, Inc. 26
Activated VLU
Transmits silent signal...

27. Pegasus Technologies, Inc. 27
VLU Radio Signal
 Activated VLU transmits a silent
radio signal encoded with its ID, GPS
location and vehicle ignition state
 The signal easily penetrates buildings
and obstructions
 The radio signal is received by
nearby SATs

28. Pegasus Technologies, Inc. 28
VLU signal is received by SATs
 Nearby SATs receive
signal from stolen
vehicle
 Decode the VLU ID, GPS
location information and
vehicle ignition state,
and measure received
signal strength
 Forward this information
to VectorTrac
Communications Server

29. Pegasus Technologies, Inc. 29
VectorTrac Communications Server
(VCS)
 The Control Center

32. Pegasus Technologies, Inc. 32
Mobile Trackers
Mobile Tracking Receiver equipped vehicles and/or aircraft are
dispatched to the area.

33. Pegasus Technologies, Inc. 33
As the Trackers receive the VLU’s signal, the Mobile
Tracking Receiver will begin to show directional indications,
pointing towards the stolen vehicle.
The Signal can be tracked even before the VLU ID number can be decoded

34. Pegasus Technologies, Inc. 34
Following the directional indicator, the trackers
begin to close in on the signal.

35. Pegasus Technologies, Inc. 35
The Stolen Vehicle is straight ahead
at a distance of about 1 mile

36. Pegasus Technologies, Inc. 36
