The Snitcher will send a text message to the owner’s mobile in the event of the vehicle being tampered with. What makes the Snitcher unique is that it uses a modem, rather than a cell ‘phone, to make the call. This has two major advantages over previous text alert systems; firstly, it is compact and easy to fit (just three wires to connect) and secondly it uses minimal current draw, at just 1mA, so it won’t put excessive strain on the battery.
