20 best car anti-theft systems

Before us is the most reliable protection device, according to a number of authoritative publications. It appeared on the market a long time ago, and in 2019 it received an update, and it became even more reliable and of high quality. The system is standard for such models. These are two signal tags placed in the cabin, and an additional element that the driver needs to keep with him. If the driver's module is located at a distance from the marks, in case of an attempt to start the engine or open the doors, a complete blockage will occur.

In this version, a more powerful antenna was installed and the capacity of the built-in battery was increased. But the main advantage is the ability to connect to video cameras and recorders installed in the car. Now you can not only track your car at a distance using cell towers, but also personally look into the face of the hijacker who is driving the car at the moment.This is the best solution for motorists, which has only one drawback - a relatively high cost. True, and it is justified, given the cost of the car and the costs associated with stealing it.

A modern smartphone is capable of not only making calls or surfing the Internet, now it is also an anti-theft system, and it works in conjunction with this protection module. You simply place two small tags in the car interior or under the hood, connect them to your mobile through the application, and get full access to the car, which no one else will have.

The hijacker, even if he intercepts the keyless access signal, will not be able to use the car, since the device completely blocks the engine, blocks access to the hood, and at the same time sends a signal to the owner about unauthorized access. This is the most convenient method of protection and the best of its kind. It is equipped with a reinforced antenna, and also works on two SIM cards at once, which significantly increases the level of security. The main advantage here, noted in the reviews, is the most convenient mobile application. Everything is intuitive and does not require special knowledge. You get all the information about the state of the car, and also have the opportunity to control it in case of theft.

Most modern cars are equipped with the Keyless system. This is a keyless entry that allows the driver to open and close the doors with just one press of the key fob button.And the most common hijacking technique is radio signal extension, allowing attackers to use the same code by copying it with their device. This protection module excludes such interception, since access to the locks requires a label, which your smartphone works here as.

If you are not driving, or out of sight of the tag, no systems will open the doors, and this is the best way to protect the car from interception. In addition, if an intruder still entered the car, you will receive a signal about this, which will be sent in the form of SMS, a call, or displayed in a special application. And as an additional protection system, the device is equipped with a tracking beacon that allows you to determine the location of the car by cell towers. By the way, the signal transmission range can be set independently. This can be either a few meters or a couple of centimeters, that is, to start the engine, you will have to bring the smartphone directly to the mark, which makes it even more difficult for the hijacker to intercept.

Starline is the most popular manufacturer of security systems, and this imposes certain obligations on it. The quality of all the company's products is always at the highest level, and this module is no exception. This is not an alarm in its purest form, but an anti-theft module. It can control locks and even start the engine, and all this is controlled from a regular smartphone through its own application.

Of course, it makes no sense to put such a block in addition to a full-fledged alarm system.This is more of a solution for those whose car is already equipped with a default security system and just wants to expand their capabilities. Protection here is used interactive, so the chance that an attacker intercepts the signal is minimal. And the installation of the module is as simple as possible, since it is connected via a bus and it is not required to dismantle the casing and be introduced into electronic components.

The Russian brand Pandora is one of the leading manufacturers of security systems. Now we have before us its multifunctional module, which can work simultaneously with a standard alarm. It connects to the car's electronics via a bus, so for installation you do not have to remove the casing, and the installation price will be much lower.

The system is controlled through its own key fob or smartphone. And here it should be understood that the key fob does not work using a standard radio signal that is easy to intercept, but via Bluetooth. On the one hand, this is a plus, since it is more difficult to infiltrate a wireless network, but on the other hand, it is a minus, since the range is limited. It is much easier to work from a smartphone, and there are all the necessary functions. They allow you to control the locks of your car, as well as track what is happening with it. For the price and quality, this is the best anti-theft module with a high degree of reliability.

The easiest way to secure your car is to lock the steering wheel. For this, various devices are used, and one of them is in front of us. This is a telescopic device that extends between the radii of the steering wheel and does not allow even half a turn. An extremely simple and even primitive device, but working, as practice shows, is just great. The hijacker, seeing such protection on the steering wheel through the glass, in most cases prefers to look for another victim.

There is also a convenient combination lock, that is, you do not have to constantly carry another key with you. Yes, the system is not the best and most reliable, but it cannot be a full-fledged anti-theft device. It is rather an additional protection that gives you time to react, and simply scares off intruders. True, it is not clear why the manufacturer is asking for such a price, but it is precisely because of this that he got into such a not the most honorable place in the ranking.

Most mechanical protection systems work exclusively in one direction.They block a certain auto module, but in this case we see work in two directions at once. The mechanism blocks both the steering wheel and the brake pedal at the same time. This is a strut that is put on the steering wheel and uses the pedal as a bottom stop. An extremely simple mechanism that fits any car, regardless of its size, as well as the type of gearbox.

The quality of the assembly can also be attributed to the advantages. The manufacturer is widely known in the world of anti-theft systems, and produces a wide variety of models. All of them are united by the use of hardened steel in the construction and a special lock, which almost completely excludes the possibility of selecting a blocking combination. The key is really very tricky and it will be very difficult to find the appropriate master key for it, and even if it succeeds, the hijacker will have to spend a lot of precious time on it.

Anti-theft systems can be very diverse. Their main task is to prevent an attacker from leaving in your car, no matter how it is done. This model locks the pedals and is designed for cars with a manual transmission. The device is installed on the clutch and brake pedals, fixing them in one position. The lower part rests on the floor of the car, and does not allow you to press the pedal. Simple, but at the same time a very convenient device, which is brought into working condition in just a couple of seconds.

According to the manufacturer, a very powerful titanium locking mechanism is installed here, which is almost impossible to turn, and also to pick up a master key to it. This explains such a rather high price for a completely simple device.There are no prerequisites not to trust these facts, since the manufacturer is well known in the market and has established itself exclusively on the positive side. There are also a lot of reviews about him, and they are written by both ordinary users and specialists working in this field.

As the well-known joke goes, millions of baseball bats and only a thousand baseballs are sold in the world every year. But a baseball bat can protect not only the car owner, but also his car, and one of such mechanisms is in front of us. It looks like an ordinary bit, but if you turn it with the back, a slot is visible. This slot is put on the steering wheel, burrowing into a regular key. Now, if you try to turn the steering wheel, the handle will simply rest, and will not let you do it.

This is the simplest and even primitive protection, and it cannot act as the main module. The key mechanism is rather weak, and if desired, it can be turned or opened with a master key. However, this element is likely to scare off the attacker, since he does not want to mess with the device and most likely will go looking for another victim. Yes, and this will give you additional time to respond if another electronic anti-theft device notifies you of the penetration of an outsider into the car interior.

Before us is definitely the best mechanical protection, which has a number of advantages over similar models. Let's start with the look. The handle looks very simple and at the same time stylish. Faux leather and chrome inserts. And even though this does not apply to protection, attractiveness also has a right to exist.The system is installed on the steering wheel and dashboard of the car, blocking with a key. It completely eliminates the steering wheel rotation until the handle is removed, and it is extremely difficult to remove it.

And here we turn to the main advantage - the key. There is no combination lock, or conventional locking mechanism. The key looks like a small ring worn in the right part of the device. Despite the apparent simplicity, it is very difficult to open such a lock, and no master key will do here. More than a million different combinations and a special titanium alloy of the mechanism eliminate the possibility of power rotation. Simply put, this is the most reliable mechanical device that will surely scare away any intruder.

The anti-theft tracker must be carefully hidden, which means that the issue of size is very important for it. Now we have the most compact tracker that can easily fit into the narrowest and most inconspicuous car space. It has a high level of protection against temperature changes, so it can be placed close to the engine.For example, hide the box between the electronics wires under the hood. An attacker is unlikely to get there, at least at the moment when he makes the hijacking.

The tracker works in 4G networks, and two SIM cards are installed on its board, capable of working alternately. If one operator is inactive for some reason, the second will come to his aid. Also, the device has the ability to program. Settings are made over the wireless network and access to them is disabled at the moment when you do not use them. Many parameters can be set, for example, automatic switching on when the engine is started at night.

A modern anti-theft module is unthinkable without a mobile application from which it is controlled. The developers are trying to make them as full as possible, but at the same time simple. The manufacturer ZONT managed to make the best module with the most understandable interface. It is concise and easily transitions from control mode to tracking mode. Now we have a tracker beacon, but it can work in conjunction with the security system of this manufacturer.

Their connections are not obvious, and if an attacker finds the alarm and disables it, the beacon will go unnoticed. If desired, it can be introduced into the overall system. For this there is a corresponding connector on the case. Simply put, this is a universal module that can work both in conjunction with the alarm system and standalone. True, the company's products are quite expensive, but the quality is appropriate.

Tracker protection should be as discreet, autonomous and reliable as possible.This is what we have in front of us now. This brand is not particularly well-known on the market, but if you read the reviews on the network, it becomes clear that all the manufacturer's assurances have been fulfilled. And he says a lot. For example, the highest level of protection against any impact. The device is not afraid of extreme temperatures and getting into the water. It has 68 self-protection level, so you can mount it close to the engine or even under the bottom.

Another advantage is two active SIM cards. More precisely, both are inactive if you do not need them at the moment. Tracking their signal is almost impossible. If one telecom operator for some reason cannot provide geodata, the second one will do it. Management and tracking take place through a personal account on the developer's website or through a special application. There everything is as clear as possible and does not require detailed study.

Beacons have been produced for a long time, but now we have the most modern and high-tech device on the market. This is a product of the popular Russian manufacturer Pandora, famous for the quality and reliability of its products. Two monitoring systems are used here at once: GPS and GLONASS. You can choose between them in real time or through presets in the offer settings. The system works on a GSM channel, that is, a SIM card is required.

At rest, the beacon does not transmit a signal, so it is impossible to find it with interceptors. Silencers won't help either. At least those that are now at the disposal of attackers. That is why the device is the most technologically advanced and modern. Also note the high autonomy. On board the lighthouse are efficient batteries and their charge will last for many months.This allows you to hide the gadget deep in the bowels of the car. You don't have to take it out every week to recharge.

Before us is the most compact GPS tracker, which is easy to hide in a car. It will fit under the door trim and can even be hidden in the electronics wire bundles. It is practically impossible to find such a beacon without specific knowledge, and it will not work to turn off its signal, since it simply does not work at rest. The tracker turns on at the touch of a button on your smartphone. You immediately get the detailed position of your car on the map.

The convenience of such a tracker lies in the fact that it can work with the same mobile application as the regular Starline alarm system. And for the attacker it will be unknown. He will not even know that after disabling the main module, you still continue to monitor him. And last but not least, the price tag. The device is the most budgetary, although in terms of quality and reliability it is the best anti-theft beacon, which is written a lot in the reviews.

An immobilizer, even the simplest one, is not a cheap pleasure, and if the issue of price is not in last place for you, be sure to pay attention to this product. Before us is a simple and cheap unit, costing only 1.5 thousand rubles. This is budget even for a little-known Chinese brand. However, this is not surprising. The device is really simple. There are only two labels and a main control unit connected to the electronic systems of the car.

When you approach the car, the sensors are triggered and the immobilizer is turned off. Activation also occurs when moving away from the mark. The block itself is very compact, and since it does not control the locks, it can be hidden deep in the depths of the car, which will significantly complicate the theft and increase the time that the attacker spends searching for the block and putting it out of action. You can also buy additional tags and program them to your immobilizer. It is convenient when the whole family uses the car.

If your car is already equipped by default with a security system and standard alarm with lock control, it makes no sense for you to buy a complex immobilizer that will cost more than 10 thousand rubles. Such a compact device is quite enough, the main advantage of which lies precisely in simplicity.There are no complicated schemes for installation. The unit is located under the hood and can control its opening. The car is connected to the general electronic network through the bus, that is, you don’t have to cut wires and do something with the connection.

Disabling the lock is carried out using a key card, which you just need to carry with you. It is programmable and can be multiplied if the car is driven by several people. Yes, it cannot be said that this is the best protection complex. It will not prevent theft and will be quickly found. The use of such a module is relevant only in conjunction with other protection blocks.

Car protection is very important, but the main thing here is not to go into paranoia, so that when you get behind the wheel you do not have to enter numerous pin codes and perform strange actions. Before us is a block with the simplest control. This is a contactless tag that works wirelessly and pairs with an offer on a smartphone. All you need to turn off the protection is to have a mobile or a card with you, which is included in the kit and works as a spare key.

As for reliability, everything here is at the highest level, however, as always, from this manufacturer. It is well known in the market and offers customers the best solutions in the field of car theft protection. This immobilizer has an extended package, hence such a not very budget price tag. The independent relays included in the kit can also control the doors and the hood lock, and you can also open and close without contact.

As a rule, the immobilizer has one, maximum two control methods. But not in this case. This is the most convenient anti-theft module, which is very easy to operate. Disabling the system is possible through your own tag, which you will carry with you, or through an application that connects to the unit via a wireless network. As soon as you move away from the car at a certain distance, the blocking of all parts of the car is activated, and when approaching it turns off. You can also use the more traditional method of entering a special code. It is encrypted in regular auto buttons.

Also included are electromechanical relays that can control locks. They are activated in the same way as the main system, but can be brought to a separate electrical circuit. That is, different control units can work differently, which will significantly complicate the hijacking, since an attacker will need to separately search for all the units and turn them off.

We have the best anti-theft immobilizer that can protect your car from all sides. There is a very rich set. It includes BT-760 radio tags well known to users of such devices. Their main advantage is high power. Tags can be placed under the compote, and if your car has heated windows, they will not interfere with the radio signal. The system also includes electromechanical relays that control the locks, both doors and trunk, and the hood.

The main module is protected and is not afraid of temperature changes. You can control the gadget through a special coding of regular buttons.For example, turn on the turn signals twice, then the high beam and press the brake. Such encoding will significantly complicate the theft, and in combination with a standard alarm, this will be the maximum protection for the car. In addition, it cannot be disabled by increasing the voltage in the network.
