Smart Start interlock monitoring is a preferable and cost-effective alternative to jail time or license suspension for offenders. Interlock orders enable DWI/DUI offenders to continue working, paying taxes, supporting their families and contributing to society while staying within the legal licensing system.

Smart Start’s ignition interlock system effectively Separates Drinking From Driving®. It combines advanced technology, accurate monitoring and responsive, flexible reporting.

The SSI-20/20 and the SSI-1000 are simple to use

At the heart of Smart Start’s solution are the SSI-1000 and SSI-20/20 – state-of-the-art, handheld breath alcohol monitoring devices electronically connected to a vehicle’s ignition. Alcohol-specific and similar in size to a deck of cards, the devices were developed using fuel cell sensor technology for reliability and ease of operation. Smart Start pairs our proven devices with proprietary SmarTrac® and SmartLog® software. This makes the devices easy for drivers to use, and allows the interlock program and reporting to be customized to a particular jurisdiction.

The SSI-1000 and SSI-20/20, developed exclusively by Smart Start, reflect the latest in interlock technology. Multiple design features make the device difficult to defeat. The built-in microchip records all test results, engine starts and stops, disconnections and tampering for later review.
