LOC8 – Theft Deterrence & Location Solution

Reliability when you need it

For all business owners and employees of Survey & Mapping, Civil Engineering and Building Construction industries, LOC8 is an essential addition to total stations. With the flexibility to receive position updates as frequently as once every minute, always know where your instruments are in the field. Set up multiple geo fences around job-sites and be alerted when instruments are on the move and exits a geo fenced area.

LOC8 not only doubles up as a great tracking and fleet management tool, it is also a great theft deterrence solution. With the ability to remotely lock and unlock total stations on demand, when required, with just a click of a button through your app or web account. Upon locking your instrument remotely, it will be immediately detected when the instrument is powered on, leaving the instrument unusable which also lowers any incentive for theft.


Precise Positioning


LOC8 can precisely position your instrument both indoors and outdoors – with an accuracy of 15 metres indoors (WiFi) and down to less than 5 metres outdoors (GPS). You will also get location updates on-demand as frequently as once every minute to always know where your instruments are.

Geo Fence


Set up multiple geo fences around your office and job sites and be sure your instruments are where they’re meant to be, safe and secure. Doubling up as fleet management tool, LOC8 alerts you when an instrument is removed from a pre-defined geo-fenced area, allowing you to optimise your resources for higher efficiency. Alerts will be sent out via the app’s push notifications and/or email.

Remote Locking


Remotely lock your instrument with just a click of a button on your mobile device or computer. Operation of your instrument relies entirely on establishing a connection to the installed LOC8 component; so even if the total station is not powered on, it can still be locked! Simply unlock your device the same way, without the hassle of bringing it to a service centre.

Ease of Mind


Being able to track, locate and lock your total stations allows you to get access to insurance coverage and possibly at lower premiums. With LOC8 also acting as a theft deterrent, save cost in the long run from not having any down time due to theft, leaving you without equipment to carry out projects or having to replace stolen instruments.

Stolen and recovered within 3 hours

After a long week and a hard day’s work on a Friday evening in June 2019 on a building site in Manchester, PLP Construction’s site engineer had packed up his kit and tools and loaded it into his van and headed to the gym on his way home. After a workout in the gym, on return to his van, it quickly became clear the hired Leica TS16 was missing and had been stolen. The theft was reported to Greater Manchester Police and a crime reference number was provided.
