Make noise
It is best to combine the alarm with the anti-panic system.
Effective devices, unfortunately, are not cheap. We can find hundreds of types of alarms on the market. The most advanced ones have additional features that make everyday car operation easier. For example, they can be programmed to open just one door, all doors, or just the trunk. Some may even support a property gate or garage door. The cost of such a device with assembly is about PLN 850.
Radio waves
Prices for the simplest alarm clocks start from PLN 120-130. However, they emit radio waves with a fixed code. A thief, using a special scanner, can easily intercept the signal from the remote control and, having reproduced it, open the car.
Alerts with variable dynamic code are better. Each time the signal is different; there are so many combinations that the codes do not repeat for several decades!
Infrared
The sale also includes infrared alarm clocks. However, they are of limited popularity because they are less practical - they work over a shorter distance and require more precision. The remote control must be pointed directly at the receiver, usually located near the interior rearview mirror. For example, you cannot turn off the alarm if the car is covered with snow. The advantage of this type of device is that the use of a scanner by a thief or an attempt to disrupt the alarm will do nothing.
Stop immediately after takeoff
Even the best alarm system won't help us in case of a robbery. The most effective protection in such situations are devices that immobilize the car shortly after starting. The thief will leave, but if - depending on the type of device - he does not enter the appropriate code, does not press a hidden switch, or does not have a card with him, the car will stop and sound the alarm. Restarting the engine is out of the question.
Via satellite
Owners of the most expensive cars can choose a GPS (satellite car monitoring) system, which can determine the location of the car with an accuracy of 5-10 meters. Installing such a system, depending on the level of advancement, costs 1,5-4,6 thousand. zloty. In addition, you must take into account the need to pay a monthly subscription in the amount of 95 to 229 PLN. In the case of the most expensive version, when an alarm is received, a police rapid response team and an ambulance are sent to the car.
READ THE AGREEMENT CAREFULLY
When concluding a contract with an insurance company, you should carefully read the general conditions of insurance. As a rule, the payment of compensation is governed by additional rules. For example, we may have problems with a refund if we do not have a registration certificate, a vehicle card (if it was issued for a car) and all the necessary keys for the car and devices used to activate the anti-theft devices. when concluding an insurance contract.
We may also not receive compensation if the insurance company determines that at the time of the theft the car was not provided with working and activated anti-theft systems. Therefore, it is not enough to have an alarm and a lock. First of all, you must use them.
