Can a Samsung Galaxy SmartTag replace LoJack for stolen vehicle recovery?
No. They’re designed to solve different problems.
A Samsung Galaxy SmartTag2 is a consumer tracking device designed to help locate personal belongings such as keys, luggage, backpacks and other valuables through Samsung’s SmartThings Find network.
LoJack is a stolen vehicle recovery system designed specifically to help locate and recover stolen vehicles in coordination with law enforcement.
That difference becomes important after a car is stolen.
A consumer tracker may help answer: “Where is my car?”
But vehicle recovery involves more than seeing a location on a map.
The vehicle may be moving.
The location may change.
The vehicle still needs to be identified and safely recovered.
And drivers should never attempt to confront a suspected thief or recover a stolen vehicle themselves.
That’s why comparing Samsung SmartTag vs. LoJack only as vehicle tracking devices misses the most important distinction:
SmartTag is designed to help find things.
LoJack is designed for stolen vehicle recovery.
Tracking helps you find.
Recovery helps you get it back.
