Keyless Entry System Keyless entry systems are a reliable way to secure your rental property without physical keys. These systems enable guests and tenants to enter the building with either a code or their mobile phones. They also integrate with intercoms to offer video and audio communication that offer different ways for people to gain access to the building. Certain keyless entry systems are cloud-based which allows them to be managed remotely and offer more advanced features. Keyless entry systems can be installed anywhere in commercial or residential property. First, the hardware has to be installed at every entryway. The system is then controlled and configured via a central console, or a smartphone app. According to Technavio the global keyless entry system market is expected to expand at an annual rate of growth between 2016 to 2022 of 11.8%. The market's growth can be attributed to the increasing demand for security systems for commercial vehicles. Many people fear being locked out of their home and therefore keep spare keys in a secure location. This poses a major security risk as criminals are aware of where people store their keys and are able to easily locate them. To prevent like this from happening, it's recommended to install an entry system that is keyless at your home. This will ensure that you aren't ever being locked out of your home again. Transponder Chip The transponder or “chip key”, is a micro-chip which is built into the head portion of your car keys. It's one of the most important security layers for your vehicle. The term “transponder” comes from the combination of transmitter and responder which is because, when the key is inserted into the ignition and turned, the antenna ring of your vehicle transmits a jolt of radio frequency energy to the transponder chip. The chip responds by sending its unique identification code to the antenna ring, and the car's computer will decipher that information and determine if it's a valid key. If the key is not a transponder, the vehicle will be impounded. The chip is protected with a special layer of polycarbonate that blocks it from being copied or cloned with regular mechanical keys. Beishir Lock and Security carries various transponder keys for sale at just a fraction of the price of dealerships selling cars. Transponder chips first began to gain popularity in the 1980's when GM introduced them in the Corvette. This technology significantly reduced car thefts, since it made hot-wiring a thing of past. This is the most basic explanation of the chip key. If you have any further questions, please contact us. Immobiliser System The engine immobiliser system (also called the anti-theft) is an essential element of your car's security. When you insert the Smart Key or ignition switch into your car, the transponder within the key transmits a code. The ECU ensures that the code sent from the chip matches the one it has stored before permitting the engine to begin. The immobiliser on your car is designed to prevent theft in this manner. If the code in the chip doesn't match, the ECU blocks the flow of current to the fuel pump relay as well as the injection system, preventing the engine from being started. The immobiliser could also disable the starter motor or ignition coil to prevent the engine from getting started by force. Unfortunately, the system is not 100% secure. The code to unlock the car's immobiliser could be hacked by thieves and used to start it. The latest versions of the system utilize the longer cryptographic code which will make it more difficult to guess. Car immobilisers are mandatory since 1998 but many cars were equipped with basic immobilisers prior to that. While an immobiliser makes it more difficult to steal a vehicle it doesn't stop thieves from towing the vehicle away or breaking in to steal your belongings. Key Replacement If you lose your remote or key fob, it can be an expensive and time-consuming process. Locksmiths will need to gain entry to the car, decode or run the VIN and then reprogramme the new replacement to remove any signatures that have been stored on the computer for all keys that have been lost, stolen or damaged. The cost of replacing a key will be more expensive if your car is equipped with a transponder or security chip. These chips send signals to your car in order to verify that you are the driver and allow doors to be opened or the engine to be started. The typical price for the replacement of a smart key is approximately $160.
