Expanding Organized Retail Crime Protection Beyond the Store

 
3Si Security Systems launches ORC Tracker™ HardCase Extreme Terrain (ORC Tracker™ HC XT), a covert GPS tracking device designed to protect assets against theft in outdoor environments, including parking lots, EV charging stations, and construction sites.

As a new variant of 3Si’s established ORC Tracker™ solution used in retail stores, HardCase Extreme Terrain extends its applications beyond the building, helping security teams track stolen assets and make informed decisions when theft occurs.
 

Addressing Organized Retail Crime outside of the store

 
ORC Tracker™ uses covert GPS tracking technology to provide real-time visibility into stolen assets after they are taken. ORC Tracker ™ HC XT brings this capability to additional environments where valuable assets may be at risk of theft. Unlike surveillance cameras and traditional alarms, which primarily provide visibility and alerts at a specific location, GPS tracking allows security teams to continue monitoring a stolen asset as it moves.

One application is EV charging cable theft, a growing concern for convenience stores, gas stations, charging networks, and other businesses operating public charging infrastructure. With the EV Charger Clamp Accessory, the ORC Tracker ™ HC XT can be attached to an EV charging cable, adding a physical layer of protection while enabling GPS tracking if the cable is stolen. This helps operators maintain visibility into stolen cables after they leave the charging site.

ORC Tracker ™ HC XT also supports asset protection applications in parking lots and construction sites, extending the use of ORC Tracker™ beyond traditional retail environments.
 

How ORC Tracker ™ HC XT Works with DirectToDispatch™

 
Tracking a stolen asset provides valuable location data, but security teams also need to verify incidents, determine whether law enforcement response is appropriate, and decide what intelligence should be shared.

ORC Tracker ™ HC XT provides real-time GPS location data to help security teams monitor stolen assets and assess incidents. DirectToDispatch™ supports this process by delivering verified, dispatch-ready intelligence, including real-time GPS location data, directly to local law enforcement dispatch when an incident requires law enforcement response and is approved for sharing.

Together, ORC Tracker ™ HC XT and DirectToDispatch™ help organizations share actionable intelligence with law enforcement. This provides dispatchers with additional situational awareness to inform responding officers while allowing organizations to maintain control over incident verification and what intelligence is shared.
 

Expanding ORC Tracker™ Capabilities

 
The introduction of ORC Tracker ™ HC XT expands the applications of 3Si’s established ORC Tracker™ solution to address theft risks beyond the retail store. By combining covert GPS tracking with a verified pathway to law enforcement dispatch, 3Si helps security teams maintain visibility into stolen assets and make informed decisions during theft incidents.
