At present, automobile anti-theft products are mainly divided into two categories, mechanical anti-theft products and electronic anti-theft products. Mechanical anti-theft products include wheel locks, gear locks and steering wheel locks, and electronic anti-theft products range from ordinary electronic anti-theft devices to mobile phone remote control GSM and satellite positioning GPS systems.

With cars, car thieves also came into being. They used various methods to steal cars they thought were valuable. According to statistics, there are more than 100,000 car theft cases every year, and the average number of stolen vehicles is more than 300 every day. At the same time, thanks to the emergence of car thieves, the car's anti-theft technology is constantly improving. However, whenever some professional automobile anti-theft device developers develop new anti-theft products, the speed of "learning" of car thieves is also quite rapid. There is still no absolutely safe car in the world, and any anti-theft device can be cracked.

Electronics

Electronic anti-theft devices have an alarm function, but the phenomenon of false alarms is also a headache for many car owners. This electronic anti-theft device can scare away many thieves who steal cars, but it is basically ineffective against professional car thieves. For these electronic anti-theft systems that are installed after buying a car, the car thief only needs to know how the mechanic pulls the wires of the electronic anti-theft system from the front of the car to other parts, and it is very easy to hook these wires out with a hook made of iron wire and Cut off, invalidating the electronic anti-theft system. Those who use mobile phones to control GSM and satellite positioning GPS, car thieves only need to use mobile phone jammers to disable it.

burglar alarm

Electronic anti-theft device is to install electronic anti-theft device on the car, so as to achieve the purpose of monitoring vehicles and alarming. It is the most popular anti-theft device nowadays, and the popularity is probably unmatched by other anti-theft devices.

Advantages: No matter what kind of abnormal situation occurs, the siren will emit an alarm sound to attract the attention of the owner and others.

Disadvantages: After the popularization of this anti-theft device, car thieves have developed countermeasures. As long as the hood is opened, the power switch is turned off, or the speaker wire is cut, the alarm will lose its effectiveness. In addition, such anti-theft devices often have false alarms, generating nuisance noise.

GPS

The GPS satellite positioning system is currently the most advanced anti-theft device at home and abroad. It can quickly track the location of the vehicle when the car is stolen, thereby helping the owner to get the car back.

Advantages: The current GPS system has multiple functions such as vehicle positioning, network anti-theft, remote flameout, in-vehicle monitoring, anchor rescue, road condition information, manual navigation, and vehicle query.

Disadvantages: The main reason why it is not popular at present is the high price. It takes between 6,000 and 7,000 yuan to install a set of GPS without a display screen, and it is necessary to pay nearly a thousand yuan for the GPS system service fee every year. The high purchase and use fees have discouraged many car owners.

mechanical

Mechanical anti-theft products are the simplest and cheapest on the market. They mainly lock the steering wheel and control pedals or stop levers to limit the operation of the vehicle. But in fact, it is difficult to completely prevent theft. A heavy tool such as a crowbar, hacksaw, and large scissors, or using a highly corrosive chemical agent to corrode the lock core through the keyhole, can steal the car in a few minutes.

Wheel lock

The wheel lock is locked on the wheel, so that the wheel cannot rotate and achieve the purpose of anti-theft.

Advantages: Wheel locks are generally very bulky and huge. It is almost impossible for car thieves to destroy the lock body of the wheel lock. They are less likely to remove the wheel locked by the wheel lock and replace it with another wheel to drive the car away.

Disadvantages: The anti-theft performance of the wheel lock depends on the lock core it uses. If the lock core is round, straight, cross-shaped or other common lock holes, the wheel lock is not safe.

Gear lock

Advantages: The gear lever can be locked in the parking position to prevent the car from driving away. The gear lock is more convenient to use.

Disadvantages: insufficient security. In fact, car thieves only need to open the front cover of the car, pull the gear parts from the head of the car, and then hang the gear to drive the car away. And the general gear lock is installed on the base of the car with a thickness of 0.4mm. When it is locked, it is located in the P block. The nail lock can be used to move the gear lock from the P block to the D block, because the distance from the P to D block is only 3 cm.

Steering wheel lock

The steering wheel lock is currently the most recommended anti-theft tool for car owners when buying a car.

Advantages: cheap, easy to use, in case of emergency, it can also be used as a self-defense weapon.

Disadvantages: The outer circle and spokes of the steering wheel are made of a small aluminum alloy tube (diameter about one centimeter and wall thickness about one millimeter) wrapped in plastic.
