The engineers who built the UK’s most capable vehicle security system
LockCar is designed and manufactured in the UK by AZFO Ltd, a company founded by engineers with Continental Automotive Group heritage. Understanding who made your security system, and why their background matters, is the starting point for understanding why LockCar performs differently.
AZFO Ltd the UK automotive security engineers
AZFO Ltd is a British technology company registered in Birmingham, England (Companies House no. 14346129). Founded in 2022 by engineers with direct experience within the Continental Automotive Group ecosystem, AZFO was created with a single focused purpose: to design and manufacture the most capable integrated vehicle security system available in the UK aftermarket.
The Continental Automotive Group is one of the world’s largest tier-1 automotive suppliers, producing ECUs, sensor systems, and vehicle electronics for practically every major car manufacturer. Engineers who have worked within this environment understand vehicle electronics at a fundamentally different level to consumer electronics product designers. They understand CAN bus architecture, ECU communication protocols, and the real-world failure modes of electronic security systems under adversarial conditions.
Consumer dashcam companies design cameras. AZFO designed a vehicle security platform. The difference shows in every aspect of LockCar: the AES-128 encrypted relay protocol, the isolated MCU communication, the 20A automotive-rated relay, and the hardwired start circuit integration all reflect tier-1 automotive electronics standards rather than consumer electronics cost-reduction decisions.

What AZFO built and why nothing else compares
LockCar is not a dashcam with some extra features added. It is an integrated vehicle security platform where every component was designed to work together as a single coherent system. The MCU (Management Computer Unit) is the architectural heart of LockCar. It operates completely independently of the vehicle’s own electronic systems. It cannot be influenced by changes on the CAN bus, by OBD port access, or by any method that targets the vehicle’s factory electronics.

Independent MCU
Operates completely outside the vehicle CAN bus. Cannot be influenced by OBD tools, relay equipment, or CAN bus injection attacks targeting factory electronics.
AES-128 Relay Protocol
The relay break communicates via an encrypted 128-bit channel physically separate from any vehicle wiring. Cannot be replicated, intercepted, or brute-forced.
Unified 4G Platform
GPS, 4G data, camera, and immobiliser control share a single MCU and a single power connection. One device, one installation, one app.
Why UK-made gives LockCar a real advantage
Being designed and manufactured in the United Kingdom has direct operational consequences for LockCar. The UK vehicle theft landscape, with its specific patterns of relay attack, CAN bus injection, and OBD key programming, is what AZFO engineers have designed against. UK vehicle models, their specific wiring architectures, and the installation techniques that work correctly for each platform are what LockCar’s installation procedures are built around.
When a new attack method emerges in UK police intelligence, an AZFO team in Birmingham responds to it directly. When a new vehicle platform arrives on UK roads requiring a new installation procedure, the process is developed and tested domestically. Mobile installation by UK engineers, insurance documentation that UK insurers accept, and support from a UK phone line are the practical differences that matter to UK vehicle owners.

Every LockCar device is designed in the UK by AZFO engineers who understand exactly which attack methods are active on UK streets, which vehicles are being targeted, and what installation techniques deliver reliable protection across the UK vehicle fleet.

Frequently asked questions
Who owns and operates AZFO?
AZFO Ltd is a privately owned UK company registered in Birmingham. It was founded by automotive engineers with experience in the Continental Automotive Group supply chain. The company focuses exclusively on LockCar vehicle security and operates a mobile installation network across the entire UK.
Why does Continental Automotive heritage matter for a dashcam?
LockCar is not a dashcam. It is a vehicle security platform that includes a dashcam as one of its functions. The Continental heritage matters because it means the core security architecture was designed by people who understand automotive electronics at a professional level, not consumer electronics engineers adapting a camera product.
How do I book a LockCar installation?
Contact Victor directly by WhatsApp or phone to discuss your vehicle, your location, and your specific requirements. Same-day appointments are available in most areas. The mobile engineer comes to your home or workplace.
Does AZFO provide warranty and after-sales support?
Yes. Every LockCar installation is backed by AZFO’s UK warranty. The installation engineer provides a full certificate and contact details for ongoing support. Being a UK-based company means support is available directly by phone or WhatsApp without international call costs or time zone delays.
