MicroDots

MicroDots are a property marking system manufactured by MicroTag Technologies Ltd. Armed with just one pot of MicroDots anyone can deter thieves by marking their most valued possessions with a unique code invisible to the naked eye. Each MicroDot dispenser contains approximately 500 dots suspended in a special adhesive which, once dry, will glow under ultra-violet light.

Using the special applicator in the dispenser, the dots and a small amount of adhesive can be easily dabbed onto the item to be marked. Large items such as bicycles, cars or televisions should be marked in several places, whereas smaller items such as jewellery, mobile phones or cameras can be marked with a single dot.

Although the microscopic dots are just 1.25 mm in diameter written on each dot is the telephone number of the International Security Register and a unique reference number. When property marked with MicroDots is recovered by the police and checked for identity markings using ultra-violet light the location of the dots are revealed by the glow of the special adhesive. The telephone number and reference number can then be read with a microscope/MicroDot Reader.

Details of the registered owner of every MicroDot reference number are held on the International Security Register which can be accessed by the police twenty four hours a day, seven days a week.

It’s so easy & so effective!

Unique PIN printed on all your microDots. There are at least 500 dots in each dispenser.

Simply brush the dots onto the item you want to protect. The dots will adhere to virtually all surfaces.

Marks and protects almost everything!
