Car anti-theft products "want to say love is not easy"

The car gradually enters the homes of ordinary people in Tongcheng. How can the car be protected against theft when the private garage is tight? This has become the first issue that many citizens consider after buying a car. In the Tongcheng market, there are car anti-theft products sold everywhere. How can consumers be truly assured? The reporter made some visits.

The automobile anti-theft products on the city are mainly based on electronic anti-theft devices, generally divided into two categories: ordinary anti-theft devices and two-way anti-theft devices.

Ordinary anti-theft devices are the most widely used car anti-theft products on the market today, with prices generally ranging from 200 to 300 yuan. The high quality and low price make them the choice of most car owners. The functions of ordinary anti-theft devices are mainly audible and visual alarms, remote control and central locking. Once someone touches the controlled car or makes it vibrate, it will emit an alarm sound or warning light. Some anti-theft devices are also equipped with a voice function to prompt the vehicle status.

The main disadvantage of the ordinary electronic anti-theft device is that it can only serve as a warning. If the owner is too far away, he still can not always understand the status of the vehicle. In order to prevent the noise caused by the false alarm of the car from affecting the rest of the residents, some car owners set the car to a silent state. If someone touches the car, it can only issue warning lights, and the anti-theft effect is even smaller.

The emergence of a two-way anti-theft device overcomes some of the shortcomings of ordinary anti-theft devices. It can instantly feedback the state of the car to the remote control in the hands of the owner, and remind the owner by vibration. This advanced product can make car owners feel at ease. Of course, its price is slightly more expensive, generally 500 ~ 600 yuan.

However, the two-way anti-theft device is not a panacea. First, the distance of information feedback is limited. If you are too far away from the vehicle, or there are too many obstacles, the transmission of feedback signals will be affected. Secondly, the remote control is more expensive like a mobile phone and requires careful maintenance. At the same time, do not forget to charge the remote control. Again, some two-way anti-theft devices have a power-off function for the engine, but some businesses have indicated that there may be leakage after the line is installed, which is not recommended. Finally, of course, the price, it is about 300 yuan more expensive than ordinary anti-theft devices.

In addition to the electronic anti-theft device, the steering wheel lock is one of the "soil methods" for car anti-theft. GPS provides a high-tech level for car anti-theft, it can always monitor where the car is parked. However, the high price still makes many car owners "deterred".

It seems that no anti-theft device is omnipotent. Industry insiders pointed out that to make a car truly safe, several methods must be used in combination. First of all, try to park the car in a place where there is someone to take care of it. Secondly, the installation of electronic anti-theft devices is preferably bidirectional. Third, when the vehicle is parked on the roadside of the community, the head of the vehicle should face inward, and the door of the driving side should be close to the roadside. Also, people who know more about cars can play a little "wisdom". For example, unplugging a small socket of the power system prevents the vehicle from starting for a short time.
