We Built This Because
Nobody Else Would

Digital Tripwire didn't start as a security company. It started as a question that wouldn't go away.

The Beginning
It Started as a Sticker.

The original idea was simple. An NFC sticker for digital retargeting. Tap your phone on a product, get served a relevant ad later. A marketing tool. That's all it was supposed to be.

But somewhere in the development process, the question shifted. Not "how do we track engagement?" but "what if this technology could actually protect people?"

Specifically, kids.

That question changed everything. The product pivoted from marketing tech to personal safety. From tracking clicks to logging proximity. From selling ads to building evidence. The NFC sticker became a BLE sensor. The retargeting pixel became a forensic log. The marketing tool became a silent witness.

And every time we thought we'd gone far enough, we pushed further. What started as "can we do this?" became "why doesn't this already exist?"

We looked at the market. AirTags track location. Cameras record video. But nothing captures proximity data at the moment of disturbance. Nothing logs which devices were within 10 feet of your child's backpack when it was opened by someone who shouldn't have been there. Nothing creates forensic-grade evidence from a grain-of-rice sensor that runs for 5 years without charging.

So we built it.

Not because there was a gap in the market. Because there was a gap in what parents, homeowners, and everyday people deserved to have access to. The technology to know who was near the things and people they care about most.

We didn't set out to build a security company. We set out to answer a question that no one else was asking. The company is just what happened when the answer turned out to be possible.

What We Believe
Three Principles That
Drive Everything
01
Evidence Over Guesswork
A camera shows you what happened. A tracker shows you where something is. Neither one tells you who was there. We believe people deserve forensic-grade proximity evidence, not just another notification that something moved.
02
Privacy by Design
Digital Tripwire captures publicly broadcast wireless signals. It doesn't access anyone's phone. It doesn't read messages. It doesn't record audio or video. It logs what devices broadcast openly, encrypts it, and gives you control over who sees it. Your data is yours. Period.
03
Technology Should Disappear
The best security is the kind you forget about. 3-5 year battery. No charging. No maintenance. No app to check every morning. You place it once and it protects silently for years. If you're thinking about it, we haven't done our job.
The Evolution
From Marketing Tool to
Forensic Evidence Platform
1
NFC Retargeting Sticker
The original concept. A small NFC sticker that triggered digital retargeting when tapped. A marketing product for brands and retailers.
2
The Pivot Question
"What if this technology could protect kids?" That single question redirected the entire company from marketing tech to personal safety.
3
BLE Proximity Logging
The NFC sticker became a BLE sensor. Instead of tracking ad engagement, it started logging every wireless device within range. The forensic evidence concept was born.
4
Expert Validation
A former FBI forensics investigator, a federal prosecutor, and a family court judge reviewed the technology. None of them had seen BLE proximity data used as evidence before. All three validated its potential.

The architecture expanded to cover dual-mode operation, LTE-M direct-to-cloud, distributed sensor networks, UV ownership verification, and satellite fallback. A comprehensive IP moat around an entire product category.
6
Today
A working prototype, a firmware development team, a product that's ready for manufacturing, and a website you're reading right now. What started as a sticker became a platform. What started as a question became a company.

What Actually Holds Up in Court?

We asked former FBI forensics investigators, federal prosecutors, and family court judges. They'd never seen BLE proximity data used as evidence. Until now.

The Mission
The Gap Is Real.
We're Closing It.

84% of stolen property is never recovered. 56% of violent crimes go unsolved. Not because the technology doesn't exist. Because nobody built it for the people who need it most.
