Ranking of car anti -theft security [VIDEO]

In 2014, 14,124 cars fell in Poland in Poland.It's 9%.less than a year ago, which does not change the fact that every 37 minutes someone says goodbye to their car.Usually forever, because every fourth of them goes to recover.And although the police pay attention to a constant decrease in the number of theft (in 2004.51 150 such offenses were recorded), according to the "cautious always secured" principle, it is worth investing in security.What?You can choose - in general - mechanical and electronic.

"Mechanical is obsolete.Electronic but factory, they are worked out by thieves.It is better to focus on aftermarket solutions, because in their case thieves have the most work, and in case of problems they will give up theft rather than they devote more time to it by risking a slip -up, "explains Paweł Wedding from Hadron.pl.

Policemen from the capital's department for fighting car crime, in turn, point out that in the era of reigning electronics, radio monitoring systems have the greatest effectiveness.However, the thing is not that they prevent theft, but that they help to recover vehicles that have fallen prey to thieves.

"These types of systems are insensitive to GPS/GSM signal jammer used by thieves.In addition, they allow you to track cars with an accuracy of several centimeters and also in underground garages or metal containers, "says Dominika Włodarczyk from Gannet Guard Systems.In combination with the high efficiency of locating cars and the speed of conducted procedures (over 95% of cars that fall in the botle of thieves, are found within 24 hours), the radio monitoring system seems to be the best solution.

Ranking of car anti -theft security from the least to the most effective.

8.Steering wheel lock

Inexpensive, but also the least effective.Thieves most often pull it by cutting the steering wheel or removing with a strong kick - they do not play cutting the device itself or disarming its lock.

7.Pedal lock

Its disassembly takes some time, but is considered to be obsolete - just like a lock on the steering wheel.

6.Lock for gear lever

Depending on the stage of the model, its removal takes the thief from several dozen seconds to over a minute.May scare away amateur thieves, but not professionals.The more that even without getting rid of the block, after pressing the clutch pedal, the car can be swept into a safer place for the thief and then towed.

5.Factory alarms and immobilises

Car manufacturers are trying to secure cars against the attempts of thieves.The British company Thatcham even prepares a report presenting models best prepared at the start with amateurs of someone else's property.However, it so happens that criminal gangs are first working out the factory solutions of specific brands, which means that their usefulness - although indisputable - is not the highest.

4.Electronic aftermarket security

The engine starting locks work much better than alarms.From the point of protection against theft, a secondary issue is in their case the method of authorization of the user (e.g..pressing specific buttons in the correct order or use of a remote identifier).The effectiveness of the lock is important.In the case of cars with gasoline engines.

3.Alarm with notification function

These are solutions using GPS and GSM modules, thanks to which, if the vehicle is detected or displaced, they inform the user with a SMS or a telephone connection.By the way, they send the location data of the car to track down.

2.GPS monitoring system

Product and service in one.After installing the GPS and GSM module in the car, the position of the car can be monitored continuously (with appropriate intervals) or on demand.The monitoring system is not a anti -theft protection in the literal sense of the word, but it has an auxiliary function in recovering the car.The company operating it, after information about the theft, launches its services and in cooperation with the police tracks the car.The disadvantage of GPS/GSM -based solutions is the increasingly common use of signals by thieves, which results in the dazzle of the system.

1.Radio monitoring system

Thanks to the insensitivity to the juvenile, commonly used by thieves, it is characterized by high efficiency in finding stolen cars.It allows them to be located even in the event of hiding in underground garages.
