About Cartell

Read about the people, thinking, and engineering philosophy behind Cartell and how it shaped the company we are today.

Cartell’s story began in 1975, when we introduced a groundbreaking vehicle detection system to the industry. It was the first of its kind based on magnetometer technology - developed during World War II to detonate shallow water mines. Dr. William Flook transformed this advanced magnetic-field science into a practical way for homeowners to know when a vehicle entered their property, and he sold the rights to the Cartell name and product to David Bohannon. 

From the beginning, our mission has been the same: deliver dependable and safe vehicle detection notification that helps protect families, homes, and properties.
