Made of leather, Volterman rings in the event that an aldro tries to steal it. It also has a GPS sensor to track him via your smartphone
One of the scourges that plagues big cities more than any other are pickpockets, shady figures, often difficult to distinguish, who cunningly and above all swiftly rob their victims, especially of their purses. Volterman had an idea, developing a thief-proof wallet.
The device, which bears the same name as the American company that designed it, is not a simple wallet. Volterman has, in fact, GPS, Bluetooth and a built-in camera. Technologies to be used to trace the wallet in case of theft. An extraordinary device, as confirmed by the fundraising campaign launched by the company on Indiegogo, a well-known crowdfunding platform, which already on the first day managed to obtain the required funding. Is that all? Absolutely not. Volterman can be used, in fact, to recharge your smartphone and even as a Wi-Fi hotspot. Not bad for what is just a wallet.
Features
We were saying about GPS. The company provides global coverage that allows you to track your lost or stolen wallet from any corner of the world. A service that doesn’t involve any extra expenses other than those needed to bring Volterman home. The camera was also discussed. The micro sensor is activated once the user sets the “lost” mode, and takes pictures as soon as the thief opens the device. The images are, then, sent to the legitimate owner’s smartphone. Another useful feature is one that triggers an alarm on the phone if Volterman moves away from its owner. Alternatively, you can also have your wallet ring from your phone.
Secure and durable
Volterman, as anticipated, can also be used as a Wi-Fi hotspot anywhere in the world. The cost of the service, according to the company, is 3 times less than standard roaming rates. In addition, the device is water and shock resistant. In addition, thanks to RFID technology, Volterman is also secure against data theft.
Price and release date
Volterman is made of leather and is available in several models, ranging from a simple credit card holder, to a traditional wallet and a larger travel wallet. Base price: $98, less than 80 euros according to the current exchange rate. First deliveries will start in December 2017.
