Distinctive features of various types of car alarms

A car in the modern world is not a luxury , nevertheless, a lot of money is spent on its acquisition and operation. Protecting your property is an instinct acquired by humanity based on its history. The security system that protects our vehicle has been around for a long time; it appeared on the territory of the former USSR about 25 years ago. The eternal confrontation between car thieves and car owners pushes car alarm developers to improve their products. There are many types of car alarms, let's define the main differences between them.

One of the latest developments in the security field is a car alarm with feedback. The point is the following, to the familiar commands from the key fob to the main signaling unit, signals are sent from the control unit located in the car to the owner of the advanced keychain pager. The basic function of the feedback is the sending of control signals, by means of which it is possible to determine whether the vehicle is in range. In addition, there is the possibility of remote control of some functions, an example is car alarm with auto start or engine lock.

Depending on the availability of feedback, car alarms are divided into one-way and two-way. The first ones are fairly simple models, depending on the price, they have some additional functions. These car alarms include Sheriff APS autoscale and Mega Gold car alarms. Two-way alarm, or reverse car alarm, often has on the key fob a color display on which information sent by the main unit is displayed. When choosing such a security system, pay attention to the zone of operation, the bigger it is, the better.

In general, before choosing a specific car alarm model, you should determine the value of your car (it is logical that the more expensive your car is, the more money you should invest in its protection) and the place of its parking. Parking under your windows or a garage a kilometer away from home-in the process of choosing this moment can outweigh the balance in favor of a particular model.

There are car alarms both with automatic engine start and with wireless lock. There are Slave-type alarms, they are controlled by an ignition key, in which buttons are provided for arm and disarm cars. Such models of protection are convenient because you do not need to wear an additional key chain.

The most modern is considered GSM car alarm. Information about the current state and location of the car can be obtained on a mobile phone, and the range is limited only by the coverage area of ​​GSM and GPS networks.

Separately, I would like to note that the interactive code is very desirable when buying an alarm. At the moment it is the most advanced method of encoding a radio signal transmitted between car alarm devices, excluding their hacking.

Meanwhile, as the owners are armed with the most modern means of protecting their vehicles, attackers also improve the means of theft. They are developing all new versions of code grabbers to intercept alarms. In this regard, we invite you to familiarize yourself with a number of tips:

• First of all, try to buy a car alarm with separate buttons to arm and disarm the car;
• if for some reason the car didn’t turn on the car alarm at the first press of a button, you shouldn’t press all keys in a row, in this case it’s better to turn it on manually;
• the acquisition of a modular type of car alarm will increase its service life and reliability of protection, since the installation of monoblock systems under the hood is prone to depressurization and is more accessible for hacking;
• having more than one engine block is welcome, as is passive blocking when removing the main alarm unit;
• with regard to the shock sensor, the possibility of arming with its deactivation, as well as the presence of two levels of separately adjustable sensitivity is desirable;
• additional very convenient features are emergency disarming (usually the Valet button) and anti-robber protection-Anti-HiJack.
