What Crimestopper does

CrimeStopper Vehicle Security & Safety is a privately held U.S. aftermarket electronics manufacturer founded in 1971, headquartered at 981 N Burnt Hickory Rd., Suite M, Douglasville, Georgia (with firmographic records also listing Tempe, Arizona). The company designs and sells 12-volt aftermarket vehicle electronics across two product groups: Security & Convenience (remote start systems, security alarms, keyless entry, smartphone control, and the OmegaLink sub-brand T-Harness wiring adapters) and Safety (backup cameras, monitors, video systems, blind spot detection, parking assist, and DVRs/dash cams). Core technical differentiation is concentrated in the OL-HRN-RS T-Harness product line — plug-in wiring adapters covering major OEM platforms (Chrysler, Ford/Lincoln, GM, Honda/Acura, Mazda, Nissan/Infiniti, Toyota/Lexus) — built with 100% copper wire and engineered to integrate with third-party remote start modules including FlashLogic (FLCAN), iDatalink (BLADE/AL-CA), and ALCA (Audiovox).

The company serves a primarily consumer base of individual car, truck, and RV owners, with a secondary commercial fleet segment. It monetizes exclusively through one-time hardware sales via its direct-to-consumer e-commerce website (crimestopper.com), with U.S. and international shipping supported by a country-selection dropdown. There is no subscription or recurring revenue model, pricing is not publicly disclosed, and no enterprise customers or contracted-revenue streams are reported. Go-to-market is anchored on the DTC storefront, supplemented by downloadable product catalogs, an installation/tech-tip blog, email newsletter signup, and social sharing on Twitter, Facebook, and Pinterest. The company is privately held, has no disclosed parent, institutional investors, funding rounds, M&A activity, or management roster in the source data, and operates with a headcount in the 11-50 range.
