Soon to be available for the first time in the U.S., Coyote Systems is pleased to unveil the world’s first real-time speed and red-light camera alert systems, the mini Coyote and iCoyote for the iPhone, at SEMA 2009.
Already a European sensation selling over 250,000 units abroad, Coyote is 100% legal, and is the only speed and red-light camera alert systems to communicate the presence of mobile speed cameras in real-time through input from the Coyote Community.
A distinguishing feature of Coyote is the Coyote Community. Unlike other devices where it is necessary to remove the unit from the car and update it via an Internet-connected computer, Coyote not only warns users of fixed speed and red-light camera locations, but also allows users to inform fellow Coyote owners of the presence of a mobile speed camera at the press of a button. The camera’s location is then broadcast in real-time to everyone with a Coyote device in their vehicle for the next three hours. Simply turn the Coyote on, and the Coyote begins working immediately to warn drivers of speed and red-light camera locations through real-time automatic updating.
While some might assume Coyote’s purpose is to encourage speeding, that couldn’t be farther from the truth. The presence of a photo-radar camera can often cause a panic braking situation from surprised motorists that can cause catastrophic results on a heavily traveled highway. With Coyote at their side, drivers have sufficient warning that such a situation may be lurking ahead and can prepare accordingly. Coyote’s products should hold particular appeal to families driving with the most precious of cargo on board, and for those who simply want to avoid the unpleasant experience of getting a photo-radar ticket in the mail.
Coyote’s first U.S. launch will be Arizona, with units available Q1 2010. The iCoyote will be available through iTunes in 2009. Coyote will expand to other American markets deploying speed and red-light camera systems, including cities in California, Illinois, Ohio and Virginia by the end of next year.
