Keyless Entry System Keyless entry systems can be the ideal way to protect your rental property without having to use physical keys. These systems allow guests and tenants to gain access to the building by using codes, or using their smartphones. These systems can be combined with intercoms to allow video and audio communications. This gives people multiple ways to gain access to a building. Some keyless entry systems are cloud-based and can be managed remotely and offer more advanced features. You can install a keyless entry system in any kind of property whether it is commercial or residential. First, the hardware needs to be installed at every entryway. The system is then controlled and configured via central consoles, or via a smartphone application. According to Technavio the global keyless entry market is expected to expand at an annual rate of growth between 2016 and 2022 of 11.8 percent. The market's growth is due to the increasing demand for security systems in commercial vehicles. Many people are scared of being locked out of their homes and therefore keep a spare key in a secure location. This poses a major security risk since criminals know where people hide their spare keys and will easily locate the keys. To prevent this from happening, it's recommended to have a keyless entry system installed at your home. This will keep you from ever being locked out of your house again. Transponder Chip The transponder or "chip key" is a microchip which is built into the head of your car keys. It's one of the most important safety layers for your vehicle. The term "transponder" is derived from the combination transmitter and responder. This is because, once the key has been fitted into the ignition and the key is turned on to turn, the antenna in your car transmits radio frequency energy to a transponder chip. The chip responds by sending its unique identification code to the antenna ring and the car's computer will discern that code and determine if it's a valid key. If the key is not a transponder the vehicle will be locked. The chip is protected by a special polycarbonate layer that blocks it from being copied or duplicated using regular mechanical keys. Beishir Lock and Security carries an extensive selection of transponder keys at less than the price of dealerships for cars. In the 1980s, GM began to introduce transponder chips inside the Corvette. This technology significantly reduced car thefts, since it made hot-wiring a thing of past. This is a brief explanation of how a chip key works and should you have any queries please contact us. Immobiliser System The engine immobiliser system (also known as the anti-theft system) is a key feature of your car's security. When you insert your key into the ignition switch or Smart Key fob, the transponder chip inside transmits a code to the vehicle's Electronic Control Unit (ECU). The ECU examines whether the code generated by the chip matches the one that is stored in it prior to allowing the engine to start. The immobiliser of your car was designed to protect you from theft in this manner. If the code on the chip doesn't match it, the ECU blocks the flow of current to the fuel pump relay as well as the injection system, stopping the engine from starting. The immobiliser can also disable the starter motor or ignition coil in order to prevent the engine from getting initiated by force. Unfortunately the system isn't impervious to hacks. The code used to unlock the car's immobiliser could be hacked by thieves and used to open it. The most recent versions of the system employ an extended cryptographic code that makes it more difficult to guess. Car immobilisers have been required from 1998, but a lot of cars had rudimentary immobiliser systems fitted before that. Although an immobiliser makes it more difficult to steal a vehicle it doesn't stop thieves from towing your car away or breaking in to steal your belongings. Key Replacement If you lose your remote or key fob it could be a hassle and very expensive. A locksmith would need to gain access to the car and decode the VIN and then re-programme the new replacement to wipe out any old signatures on the computer for all keys that were lost or stolen. The cost of replacing a key will be more expensive if the car is equipped with a transponder or security chip. These chips emit signals to the car that verifies your identity as the driver, and permits the doors to be opened or the engine to start. The typical price for a replacement smart key is approximately $160. ABUS strongly recommends that you register your key code within a few days of purchase to enable you to order additional or spare keys in the future. This can be done by entering your Key Code on the checkout page and selecting CANADA as your shipping country. You can also sign up a key using images of your spare key that you have taken from specific angles.
