Rating of the best anti-theft systems for cars for 2022

Many motorists are faced with an attempt on their car. Given such sad statistics, is it worth neglecting the principles of protecting your car? Of course not! The best way out is not to be stingy and purchase an anti-theft system.

The reports show attackers easily hack cheap models. Not expensive devices often give a false alarm, but when it is really necessary, they may not work at all. The list of the best car alarms for 2022 includes the highest quality models that can save your iron friend from theft. In the beginning, let's pay attention to what the designers offer in this automotive niche.

What are

Based on statistics, theft is the most common crime of all. At the same time, both premium cars and inexpensive models are stolen. This is due to the shadow market, where a stolen car can be resold as a whole or used for spare parts. There are many options for protection, and simple signaling is not the only way. Below is a list of top systems that cannot be called conventional alarms. In turn, they are divided into 3 groups:

• Electronic devices. Protection is carried out by blocking 1 or 2-3 parts, such "signals" help to track down the car when stolen.
• Mechanical systems. For example, blocking the steering wheel or pedal.
• non-standard systems. Not the usual methods of protection that are not noticeable at first glance.

Additionally:

1. By way of communication. Unilateral, bilateral and GSM. One-sided do not have a large coverage radius and signal only with an audible signal. Such devices will not even be consecrated, as they are obsolete. Bilateral already have a greater breadth of coverage, the same notification comes to the owner on the keychain.GSM alarms work according to the same system, but thanks to a different technology, it is not limited by distance, and the message comes to the motorist's gadget.
2. By type of operation. This indicator is often price-forming. The latest anti-theft systems range in price from $50 to $1,000. There is a greater demand on the market for models that can be controlled using gadgets that have an engine start function, as well as a GPS logger.

It is not so easy to say which anti-theft remedy is more effective. In practice, a simple device that blocks the steering wheel can become a good anti-theft tool, noticing it an attacker may prefer to abandon his dirty plan. It can be put off by the fact that you have to spend a lot of time, and in this case you will need to use a specific tool, and the chance of being caught red-handed increases.

Of particular note are the extraordinary devices that block access to some parts of the car, say, to the hood. The kidnapper can get inside the car, but then he will face a difficult problem to solve. Access to electronic units is reliably mechanically protected, the thieves also prefer not to deal with this and switch to another car.

Mechanical

This type of security systems is not inferior to electronic ones. A mechanical block, the steering wheel, which is usually noticeable from the outside, by its very appearance can discourage a potential thief. Few of them carry a specialized tool for such an occasion. Thoughts of stealing a car quickly and quietly disappear at the sight of such a castle, and the owner of the iron horse can no longer worry about a possible loss.

For example, a beacon, which is an anti-theft system, can be safely hidden, and then track the location of the car. It should be noted that similar devices are extremely rarely independent, and almost always aimed at protecting against criminals. An example would be a beacon that is not connected to the main alarm module.The device may not be visible to intruders due to the deactivation of the main device.

Stalker - MS600 Super

Your attention is presented the most reliable protective device, according to the reviews of numerous authoritative publications. Its appearance happened a long time ago, and 2019 was a time of renewal, which served for greater reliability and high quality. Such samples are distinguished by the classical system - 2 tags located inside and an additional element that requires the driver's safety in the near future. If the location of the module is located far from the marks and there is a desire to start the engine or open the doors, the car is blocked.

This option involves the installation of a high-power antenna and a capacitive increase in the built-in motor. A big advantage is the ability to connect the gadget with a surveillance camera and a DVR located in the car. After that, it will be possible not only to track the car at a remote distance with the help of high-altitude cell towers, but also to personally see the person driving someone else's transport at the moment of movement. It is considered a profitable solution for car lovers with one drawback - a rather high price. Although it is fully justified, given the cost of acquiring a vehicle and the costs associated with theft.

KEYLESS BLOCK

Most of the latest brands of vehicles are equipped with the Keyless system. Access is keyless, allowing the owner to open and lock the doors by pressing the keyfob button. Despite the more common method of stealing vehicles - lengthening the radio signal, when an attacker uses the same code by copying it with his device. This protective module excludes such interception due to the lack of a label, which is a personal smartphone.

If you are at a great distance and not driving, no device will allow you to open the door, which is a great way to protect property from interception.If a robber enters the car, you will receive a signal - an alert in the form of a message, a call reflected in the application. There is an additional mechanism - a tracking beacon, the equipment of which will allow you to determine the location of transport by cell towers. And the range of the broadcast signal can be set independently, based on your own preferences. It can reach from several meters to a couple of centimeters, one has only to start the engine by bringing the mobile phone to the mark, which will greatly complicate the process of interception for thieves.

Magic Systems GSM - Agent MS

Often, criminals use the most common method of theft - they intercept the radio signal while closing the doors of the iron horse. Avoiding this method is quite difficult, even the most expensive brands and the latest models will not give a 100% security guarantee. An additional module that is not tied to the main system will help to cope with a difficult task. It performs the function of a blocker that is triggered in the absence of a tag. If a stranger is driving, a system operation occurs, the engine is turned off, the hood is blocked, and the owner receives an SMS notification or receives a call.

An attacker probably does not know about the presence of a system that is not tied to the main alarm, and a compact box can be easily hidden inside a car. But even in the case of a theft, bypassing protection, it will be possible to easily track personal property using cell towers.The module will continue to operate until it shuts down, which suggests that the burglar is stalling for time to disable the mechanism.

How to choose

It is necessary to highlight the parameters that will help you make the right choice when buying a car alarm. A wide price range, a difference in functions - they force you to take this issue seriously. It is not necessary to purchase a gadget seen from a friend. It is better not to believe the untruthful promises of manufacturers, but it is worth comparing samples, viewing reviews and being interested in comments and reviews. Basic ideas and optimal characteristics will help:

one.Unregulated number of sensors. These include:

• terminal (hatch, trunk, hood, door opening,
• shock - sensor (impact information),
• pressure sensor (fixing the movement of vehicles),
• ultrasonic (registration of penetration into the salon),
• radar (notifies about movement in the coverage area,
• infrared (reacts to touch). The last two sensors are in advanced devices, which will lead to unnecessary spending.

2. There are means of communication - without key fobs (one-way - allowing you to control locks and power windows, and two-way - at a price more expensive than analogues).

3. Add. functions - heated seats, turning on the backlight, folding mirrors. It mainly depends on the freedom of finance and the desire of the consumer. The main parameter of the car alarm is the range and quality of the signal cipher.

Specific technique implies a serious approach to the range. You should focus on products presented by famous brands with a declared 2-way connection. The criminals have studied the standard locations for identifying devices. It is necessary to take into account the fact that classic power supplies can be opened in a short time. It is better not to spare money for the purchase of additional sensors, focusing on GSM with immobilizer support.
