These systems allow guests and tenants to gain access to the building by using codes, or using their smartphones. They also integrate with intercoms to provide audio and video communication offering various ways for people to enter the building. Certain keyless entry systems make use of cloud-based technology that allows them to be managed remotely. They also come with more advanced features. Keyless entry systems can be installed in any commercial or residential property. First, the hardware has to be installed at every entryway. The system is then controlled and configured via central consoles, or a smartphone app. According to Technavio the world's keyless entry system market is expected to expand at an annual rate of growth between 2016 to 2022 of 11.8 percent. The market's growth can be attributed to a growing need for security in commercial vehicles. Many people worry about being locked out of their homes.

Installing a keyless entry at your home is the ideal option to stop this. This will ensure that you never be locked out again. Transponder Chip The transponder chip - also known as "chip key" is an electronic micro-chip placed inside the head of your car key, it's also one of the main security features of your vehicle. The term "transponder" is derived from the combination of responder and transmitter which is because, when the key is inserted into the ignition and then turned, the antenna ring on your vehicle sends a burst of radio frequency energy to the transponder chip. The chip then responds with its own unique identification code to the ring that is attached to it and the car's computers can identify that information and determine if it's a legitimate key. The key must be a transponder one to start the car. If it is not, then the vehicle will remain immobilized. The chip is protected with a polycarbonate layer that blocks it from being copied or cloned using regular mechanical keys. Beishir Lock and Security carries the largest selection of transponder keys at much less cost than of dealerships selling cars. Transponder chips first began to become popular in the 80's when GM introduced them into the Corvette. This technology drastically reduced vehicle thefts by making hot-wiring obsolete. This is the most basic explanation of the chip key. If you have additional questions, please contact us. Immobiliser System The engine immobiliser system (also called the anti-theft) is a key feature of your vehicle's security. When you connect the Smart Key or ignition switch into your car, the transponder in the key transmits a code. The ECU makes sure that the information generated by the chip matches the one it has stored before it allows the engine to start. The immobiliser of your car was designed to prevent theft in this manner. If the code on the chip is not compatible, the ECU will stop the flow of current from the fuel pump relay to the injection system, and stop the engine from beginning. Additionally, the immobiliser might disable the starter motor as well as the ignition coil to stop the engine from being started by force. Unfortunately the system isn't impervious to hacks. Thieves can crack the code that allows you to unlock the immobiliser in your car and make it start. However, the latest versions of these systems have more cryptographic sequences that will be difficult to guess. Car immobilisers are mandatory since 1998 but many cars had rudimentary immobiliser systems fitted even before then. While an immobiliser makes it more difficult for thieves to steal a vehicle, it doesn't hinder thieves from towing the car away or breaking in to steal your possessions. Key Replacement Losing a key or remote fob can be costly and can be a hassle. A locksmith would need to gain access to the car and decode the VIN and then reprogramme the new replacement to remove any signatures from the computer for all of keys that have been lost, stolen or damaged. If your car comes with an integrated security chip, or transponder, inside the key, this can make replacing it more expensive. These chips send a signal to your car to confirm that you are the driver, and allow doors to be opened or the engine to be started. The typical cost for the replacement of a smart key is around $160. ABUS suggests that you register your key code as soon as you are able after purchase. This will allow you to order spare keys or other keys in the future.

You can also register a key based upon images of your spare key that you have taken from specific angles.
