MicroDOT asset protection, explained simply.

MicroDOT protection is designed to help deter theft, mark valuable property and support ownership identification. These FAQs cover the common questions customers ask before choosing a kit or registering their product.

MicroDOT basics

What are MicroDOTs?

MicroDOTs are tiny identification markers that can be applied to valuable property. They help create a link between an item and ownership details when used with registration.

How do MicroDOTs help deter theft?

MicroDOTs can act as a theft deterrent when used with warning labels or visible messaging that shows an asset is protected and traceable. This can make marked property less attractive to thieves.

Do MicroDOTs physically stop theft?

No. MicroDOTs do not physically stop someone from stealing property. They are a deterrence and identification tool and should be used alongside sensible security measures such as locks, alarms, secure storage and GPS tracking where appropriate.

What types of assets can be marked?

MicroDOTs can be used across many assets, including household valuables, tools, bikes, vehicles, caravans, trailers, school equipment and selected business assets. Always follow the product instructions for suitable application.

Registration

Do I need to register my PIN?

Yes. If your product includes a PIN or registration process, registration is important because it connects your MicroDOT product or asset details to ownership information.

What happens if I do not register?

The physical marking may still exist, but the ownership connection may be weaker or incomplete. Registration helps support identification if property is lost, stolen or recovered.

Where do I register my PIN?

Use the Register PIN page on the MicroDOT website. If you need help finding or registering your PIN, contact us for support.

Product selection

Which MicroDOT kit should I choose?

Choose a kit based on what you need to protect. Home kits suit household valuables, tradie kits suit tools and work gear, bike kits suit bikes and e-bikes, and school or business kits may suit larger asset groups.

Can I mark more than one item with a kit?

This depends on the kit size and intended use. Check the product description or contact MicroDOT if you need help choosing the right option.

Do you offer school or bulk options?

Yes. MicroDOT can support school, business and bulk enquiries where multiple assets, teams, sites or product quantities are involved.

GPS Trackers

Are GPS trackers the same as MicroDOTs?

No. GPS trackers provide location visibility. MicroDOTs support physical identification, theft deterrence and ownership verification. They can work together as part of a layered protection approach.

Do GPS trackers need a subscription?

This depends on the tracker model. Subscription, setup and installation requirements should be confirmed before purchase.

Should I choose MicroDOTs or GPS tracking?

Choose MicroDOTs if your main goal is theft deterrence, asset marking and ownership identification. Consider GPS tracking if the asset is mobile, high-value or would benefit from location visibility.

Business and enterprise

Can MicroDOT help businesses?

Yes. MicroDOT can support businesses with asset marking, theft deterrence, tool protection, fleet and equipment protection, GPS tracking options and enterprise product pathways.

Can MicroDOT help schools?

Yes. MicroDOT can support schools with theft deterrent marking programs for devices, bikes, tools, instruments, sports gear and other education assets.
