The Russian market for security systems is one of the most developed in the world. However, the quality of these devices leaves much to be desired. It is worth noting that a car alarm is not only protection against theft, but also a device that helps to expand the functions of the car.
Functions implemented using car alarms
Automatic opening / closing of doors and automatic closing of windows when armed with an alarm will make your life much easier. There is no need to describe these functions in detail, everything is clear here.
Car alarm must necessarily implement the function of automatically locking doors at the start of movement. For safety reasons, many Japanese cars already have such a function that protects the passenger from accidentally opening the doors and then falling out of the car. But this function also has another meaning, which is very relevant in Russia: an anti-vandal property that protects against thieves pulling bags with documents and money from cars while you are standing at a traffic light.
The function of automatic engine start will prevent the car from freezing in cold weather, and the interior will warm up to a comfortable temperature. When you leave the car for an extended period of time, the car alarm will keep the engine running. Thanks to this function, it is possible to start the engine from a distance.
The function to keep the engine running without the ignition key is also very convenient and useful in cool weather, when you leave the car for a long time.
The ability to turn off the engine in case of robbery. This function allows you to give a signal to the alarm built into the car if it is stolen, for example, at a gas station. The motor will stall after a while, preventing the criminals from going far.
Panic mode when the integrity of protected areas is violated is one of the most common features of car alarms. In case of an attempt to open doors, hood, tilt of the car or its movement, the alarm will start "screaming"
Types of alarms
There are several main types of security devices: car alarms, immobilizers, and security search systems. Car alarms have several functions: signal, security, service and anti-theft. It is believed that it is the anti-theft functions that are worst developed in car alarms.
The car alarm is set using the coding algorithm of the control device and is the weakest point. Being radio frequency, such a car alarm is easily accessible to any hijacker who breaks the alarm codes in a few seconds. Immobilizer is a device that prevents unauthorized engine start. It is these devices that best perform their main function, security. Security and search systems allow you to locate the vehicle and block the engine on command.
Each of these devices has its own functions and, individually, they are not able to effectively protect the car. It is necessary to build an effective security complex based on the listed devices. It is necessary to apply for this task only to specialists with good recommendations. Otherwise, with an illiterate approach and installation, even the most reliable security system will not help.
