The 360-degree automotive security camera that inspired early adopters and won SEMA’s Best New Mobile Electronics Award now comes with One Free Month of 4G data

Cambridge, Mass. (September 30, 2019) – Waylens, Inc. announced today it is now supplying new users one month of free data with Secure360 4G. Combined with the company’s 30-day Risk Free Guarantee, Waylens’ One Free Month of Data lets a new user test drive Secure360 4G while enjoying live features like remote livestreaming, instant security alerts, and real-time location data. “At Waylens, we want the user to enjoy the full Secure360 experience,” said Product Manager Aaron Thomas. “With One Free Month of Data, the user can try that peace-of-mind for free.”

Secure360 4G is the car camera system that records in one seamless 360-degree view, capturing events that happen even from the side and rear where typical cameras have blind spots. Featuring the industry’s longest park mode of 15 days, Secure360 4G watches in and around the car even when it’s unattended for an extended time, sending real-time alerts so the owner can see evidence on his smartphone – anytime, from anywhere.

The One Free Month of Data begins when the user activates his or her data account using the Secure360 app. Even after that first month, Secure360 4G remains affordable to operate. The typical user spends less than $10 per month and a 12-month plan is less at $8 per month. Unlike other offerings in the industry that require users use 4G data to watch video in the car, Secure360 4G lets users view video using WiFi for free. “We believe automotive security should provide real peace-of-mind and we understand there is an economic component to that,” said Waylens CEO Haowei Zhang. “We therefore designed Secure360 with free viewing options that keep the security experience affordable for just about everyone.”
