Protect the car against theft. Immobilizer

Every car owner or installed security system - a guarantee of peace, or seeking the funds. About the new cars we're not talking. Equip their protection nearly in the sale. So let's see, what you have already paid or are going to pay. To begin with, that person was first faced with the problem of protecting the car against theft, it is extremely difficult to choose among dozens of names of firms and facilities that would satisfy its functional capabilities and price. Here the determining factor is who serves as an advisor and how this can be trusted counselor. Must be aware that whatever security system may have been protected by a car, protect it from theft by 100% impossible. Technically savvy thief, slowly "working" with the car, can find and neutralize virtually any security system - is a matter of time and skill. And with the order to fight theft in general is meaningless - it is a matter of prestige of the performer. But all is not bleak. A police statistics show that, firstly, the majority of thefts committed on the street, not out of the garage, and secondly, if the thief fails to secure the vehicle on average for a minute or two, then abandons the effort. So we will take away from the hijacker of the time. It is important to make some comments. Four-year experience in operation of dozens of different types of automobile security systems can identify three specific conditions for the Russian factor. First: simple circuits automotive wiring, the second: a high level of the hijackers, a third: the complete indifference of others (and often and the police) to the sifting of the roaring machine personalities. Given these factors, much attention in our practice, we are paying an integrated security system, built on the principle of "neugonyaemogo car." A key device in this system believe immobilizer. As for our car owners this device is relatively new, is in two words to explain what it is. Immobilizer can be translated as "obezdvizhivatel. The system locks the engine is actually the development of a secret switch, tearing those chains a car, without which you can not go anywhere. But now the switch is no need to hide, as the secret was the electronic key. Filling key is different: the code panel, logic circuits (a key type "plug"), etc. The vast majority of immobilizers use direct blocking, ie, being armed, the engine simply will not start. Practice shows that an experienced thief, having a certain margin of time, can quite easily get around these locks. If it fails, it disables the electronic key management, and already the landlord is unable to start the engine and had to tow the car to the experts. The logic of such vandalism is clear: until the victim can recover broken electronic key, and often make it difficult and expensive, it may take a certain number of days during which the machine is left without protection. These moments are usually not satisfied with the car owners and, in our opinion, explain the low popularity of immobilizers this design with us. There are of course exceptions, which are complex technical security devices, in case of need can create the illusion of barahlyaschego engine capable to pass only a few hundred meters, and then standing up tightly. The main advantage of such systems is that the alarm system is hidden from the eyes of the hijacker, not showing anything. Reassured attacker starts a car, drive off a few meters, after which the machine "gets", and with it, nothing can be done. Secret code disable protection - to steal or pick up is impossible, and the robber would be forced to leave the car. Such a system will keep your car even if its forcible seizure. In conclusion - no small point. To make a complicated security system has not lost its quality, it needs a proprietary installation. Do not forget that the miser pays twice, and do not trust the installation handicraftsmen-lovers. And in the end - tip: Equip your car in the city where are exploiting it. The technique requires more and warranty service.
