Car theft is a serious issue; 3 cars a minute are stolen or broken into in the United States alone. Companies that create security systems for cars are constantly responding to market demand by finding new and innovative ways to deter criminals. The car alarm has come a long way from its original design, but so too have car thieves; they are always eager to investigate ways of evading new alarm systems. Is there any way to be sure that your car alarm will really protect your valuable asset when it comes to the crunch?

The simplest alarms rely on circuitry to perform their function; if a locked door is forced then the break in the circuit causes the alarm tone to sound.

Advanced car alarm systems have sensors that detect problems. The sensors in these kinds of alarms detect shock; if the vehicle is moved or experiences substantial force or pressure, the alarm will sound. Different alarm tones indicate different types of impact; a short pattern of beeps might indicate a mild disturbance, while an endless, ear-splitting siren is likely to indicate that serious force has been exerted on the body of the car. Because these alarm systems are based on hair-trigger shock sensors, it isn’t at all uncommon for them to misfire in situations where loud noises, like passing trucks, cause the ground to vibrate, or in situations where a bystander might bump into the car or lean on it.

Public opinion is far from unanimous; do car alarms prevent car-related crime effectively? There are so many false alarms, due to the high sensitivity of the shock sensors used, that an immunity to car alarms has begun to surface. There have been studies showing that people scarcely notice the sound of car alarms due to the high number of false alarms we all hear from day to day.

Manufacturers can no longer rely on old systems to do the job; they are undertaking projects to create new, proactive alarms to address the issue of car-related theft. This new generation of alarms relies on new technology to send tracking information to authorities and owners, allowing them to track stolen vehicles and even disable stolen vehicles remotely.
