KēZ Insurance features include the following:
VIN Detection
KēZ detects the VIN (Vehicle Identification Number) and assigns the adaptor to one vehicle and its driver.
Once the adaptor has been registered by the owner for a specific vehicle using the smartphone app, it will assign the primary driver to the vehicle VIN. Any use of the vehicle that does not detect the primary driver will be recorded and logged to the server.
Smoke Detection
From lending your car to a friend to on-demand car rental and peer-to-peer car sharing for corporate fleets, KēZ is pioneering smart phone-centric technology to power the revolution in smoke detection.
The KēZ adaptor and app provides a smoke detector and log which can detect smoking within the vehicle and will create a silent history record, and if required a sound alert if smoke is detected. The history log is created to record the time, date and level of smoking within the vehicle which can be downloaded from the KēZ app.
Car valuation experts say that cars can lose as much as $2000 from their resale value if they have been smoked in.
Many rental and car sharing companies charge a penalty for smoking in the car, KēZ will record the date and time of an occurrence and will sound an alarm if required.
Speed Recording
Having KēZ installed allows you to set speed controls on your car with the time and date that speeds were recorded over the speed limit selected. Whether it is to check on your son or daughter, your renter speeding in your car, or your insurance requirements, KēZ will record the information for you.
Security Alarm
The alarm system in most cars are sophisticated but will only alarm if there is an attempted intrusion. The KēZ app has variable adjustment capability and it can be adjusted to the highest level so that if the car is touched the alarm will be activated and the horn will honk. Keeping your vehicle protected at all times.
Antitheft Function
Vehicle theft cost insurance companies in North America some US$7-8 billion annually.
Police departments suggest that most thefts occur on weekdays between midnight and 5 AM – most thefts of cars occur from policyholders’ homes.

with security features to the highest level. These additional features are compatible with 90% of vehicles.
Vehicle Access Sharing
From lending your car to a friend or your family, KēZ is pioneering smart phone-centric technology to power the revolution in vehicle access sharing.
