In the U.S alone, cars are either broken into or stolen about every 20 seconds. That is why it’s not surprising that car Alarm System manufacturers are constantly struggeling to find ways to better the theft prevention abilities of their alarm products. While it’s truly exceptional how systems for Car Alarms have improved form their humblest beginnings, it is just as or even more amazing how thieves are still able to get around these increasingly advanced systems. Are Car Alarm systems really too simple to provide us with any decent protection?
At the most basic level, Car Alarm Systems use simple circuitry technology. If somebody opens the car door using brute force, the electrical circuit is ended and an alarm will start sounding. However, the more sophisticated car alarms come with more sensors to detect all possible threats by utilizing more advanced pressure and light sensors. With shock sensors, The Alarm goes off when someone moves or hits the car. The alarm will be released in different patterns depending on the strength of the shock. The sounds range from anywhere between a short beeping sound to a Loud Alarm. The problem with shock sensors is that they are very sensitive and as a result go off unexpectedly, like when someone leans on your car or a big truck passes by.
Whether car alarms effectively scare away possible car thieves or not is debatable. Some experts say that shock sensors only make car alarms go off unduly, and that this has causes people to get too used to them. Consequently, people no longer lift their heads when they hear an alarm. A lot of studies show that sounds produced from a car alarm have become so common that no one notices them.
Manufacturers of car alarm systems are working hard on developing new and more feature full alarms that are more practical to use. These car alarms will have the power to stop stolen vehicles and send warning signals by themselves so that the police can track the stolen vehicle and the owner can have it returned unharmed.
