SOLE SOURCE LETTER
YOUR WORLD. SAFER.

https://saferworld.solut'ions/
This letter is to certify 351 Security Systems, Inc, (formerly CovertTrack), is the sole Source
provider and manufacturer of tracking services for Electronic Stake Outs CAPS trackers, Stealth V
tracker, MicroTracker 5, and CovertCarn HD, which can only be tracked on our proprietary
CovertTrack.com portal.
These patented location technologies provide unique attributes which all report to 3Si's
Cover-tTrack.com portal. These technologies may include active coordination of Cellular, GNSS
(multi -constellation satellite), WfF[, Bluetooth technology; including an independent cell -based
audible chirp -alert location feature; a customizable tilt, magnetic reed switch, or accelerometer
activation; customized clandestine enclosures for secreted deployment; and a radio frequency
(RF) beacon -pulse location application.
3SFs Electronic Stake OuO' device configuration offers the operating agent 9 programmable
update rates, fully customizable text/email alerts to unlimited recipients, multiple device
activation trigger mechanisms and sensitivity levels, and a geo-fence functionality. The
Electronic Stake OutO Tracker configuration operates with a unique patented algorithm. Should
the device lose real time communication with the 351 server, the device will store data
internally. Once the internal storage has reached capacity the device uses 3SI's patented
algorithm for preservation of the best prosecutorial evidence. Once the device regains
communication wth the cell server, it immediately uploads the tracking data points it was able
to preserve internally, for investigative historical review on the 3SI tracking portal. Because of
this unique patented feature, all tracking history, even during cell communication anomalies, is
preserved as evidence. No other tracking product provides all the patent protected features
included in the unique 35I Electronic Stake Out'' devices,
