A padlock 110 comprising a body, a shackle and a locking mechanism within the body for locking the shackle to the body, the locking mechanism having a controller, a sensor unit, and a battery, the controller having an active state and a dormant state, entering the dormant state from the active state to conserve energy when the sensor unit has not detected tampering for a period of time, and entering the active state from the dormant state when the sensor unit detects tampering, with the shackle being remotely unlockable only when the controller is in the active state. The sensor unit may comprise an accelerometer, gyroscope, magnetometer, thermal sensor, microphone, camera. The padlock may have antennae located inside the body. Each antenna may include a SIM card. The padlock may also be unlocked via a keypad 12 or regular key. An alert may be sent when tampering is detected.
