Feature Comparison Summary

Soberlink uses tamper-resistant facial recognition technology to provide verified, court-admissible evidence of sobriety while BACtrack records a video of the tester that needs to be reviewed by another party. When considering Soberlink® vs. less robust devices, such as BACtrack®, it’s important to understand the issues that may arise due to their lack of features or support.
