There are a
lot of optinos on the market nowadays when it comes to anti-theft technology
and systems for vehicles. When you are spending a lot of money on your car it
makes sense to invest in a system you feel confident in. There have been
advances in technology so that there are more choices than just a car alarm,
including tracking options, a car proximity lock, immobilizer devices and more. Here
is a closer look so you can drive with confidence knowing your car is more
protected from threats.
Tracking and recovery anti-theft
device
You could
choose to invest in a comprehensive anti-theft car system that focuses on
tracking the vehicle and recovery should it be stolen. Such a system could
include a bluetooth proximity killswitch as well as wireless RFID tracking
devices placed around the car to allow for it to be tracked anywhere in the
country. Then if something should happen and someone does manage to steal the
car, there is a team who can access that information 24 hours a day, 7 days a
week to help.
The car is
declared stolen making it harder for the thieves to sell it. With certain logos
placed on the car that makes it less desirable to steal in the first place. The
combination of advanced technology and visual indication that the car can be
tracked and recovered works very well. Modern devices are something only some
can get around or jam, and their positioning ensures thieves cannot find them
or reach them easily.
Immobilizer and anti-theft alarm
Another type
of system is one that includes anti-theft alarms and immobilizer options. There
are different ways immobilizers can work, but whether it works on the ignition,
car battery or some other option, the idea is you or the people behind the
system, have control over the car and can immobilize it at any time. Some might include a car proximity
lock. Systems can use sensors that are
ultrasonic so they detect when there are is movement too close to the car from
someone unauthorized. When a threat is perceived the alarm goes off and the
lights will flash. Some have a noise from the alarm as well as from the horn.
It is there to get the attention of the owner to prevent the theft. They can be
disabled remotely from a certain distance.
Kill switch for the ignition wire
As well as
something like a bluetooth proximity killswitchthere are kill switches for the
ignition wire. A switch is placed within the wiring for the ignition system so
that when someone tries to start the car using the ignition, and they do not
have the authority to do so, the electrical current flow is disrupted. It stops
the thief from starting the car. The kill switch is placed in a location so
that it is hard to find and cannot be gotten around. It is a reliable option
for anti-theft, and security, a powerful tool and is also cost-effective.
