Keyless Entry System

Keyless entry systems are a great method of securing your rental property without requiring physical keys. These systems allow guests and tenants to gain access to the building by using the use of a code or using their smartphones. They can also work with intercoms for audio and video messages offering various ways for people to gain access to the building. Certain keyless entry systems are cloud-based and can be managed remotely and to offer more advanced features.

A keyless entry system can be installed in any commercial or residential property. The hardware first needs to be installed at each entryway. Next, the system needs to be configured and managed through a central console, or through a smartphone application. According to Technavio the world's keyless entry market is expected to expand at an annual rate of growth between 2016 and 2022 of 11.8 percent. The market's growth can be attributed to the growing need for security in commercial vehicles.

Many people are afraid of being locked out of their homes, so they keep a spare key in a secure place. This practice, however, is a major security risk because criminals know the places people store their keys and are able to find them. To avoid this happening, it's recommended to have a keyless entry system installed in your home. This will prevent you from ever being locked out of your home again.

Transponder Chip

The transponder, also referred to as "chip key" is a microchip that is located in the head of your car keys. It's one of the most crucial safety layers for your vehicle. The term "transponder" originates from the combination transmitter and responder. This is because, once the key has been fitted into the ignition and it is turned into the ignition, the antenna of your car transmits a radio frequency energy to the transponder chip. The chip responds by transmitting its unique identification code back to the antenna ring. The car's computer then deciphers this information and determines whether it is a valid or not.

If the key is not a transponder the vehicle will be impounded. The chip is secured with a special layer of polycarbonate which prevents it from being copied or duplicated by regular mechanical keys. Beishir Lock and Security offers a large selection of transponder key at a fraction of the price of car dealers.

Transponder chips started to become popular in the 1980's after GM introduced them in the Corvette. The technology significantly reduced the number of vehicle thefts since it made hot-wiring a thing of past. This is the simplest explanation of the chip key.

Immobiliser System

The engine immobiliser system (also known as the anti-theft) is a vital aspect of your car's security. When you connect the Smart Key or ignition switch into your car, the transponder in the key sends a code. The ECU checks that the code sent by the chip is identical to the one stored in it and then only allows the engine to start.

The immobiliser of your car was designed to protect you from theft in this manner. If the code inside the chip doesn't match with the code, the ECU blocks the flow of current to the fuel pump relay and the injection system, stopping the engine from beginning. Additionally, the immobiliser might disable the starter motor or the ignition coil, preventing the engine from starting by force.

Unfortunately, the system is not impervious to hacks. The code that unlocks the car's immobiliser can be hacked by thieves and used to start it. However, the most recent versions of these systems feature a an extended cryptographic sequence which should be harder to determine.

Car immobilisers have been required from 1998, but a lot of cars had rudimentary immobiliser systems fitted even before then. It is also worth noting that even though an immobiliser makes it more difficult to steal a car it doesn't prevent thieves from towing away from it or breaking into the car to gain access to your possessions.

Key Replacement

If you lose a remote or key fob it could be an expensive and time-consuming process. A locksmith must gain access to the vehicle to decode the VIN or run it, and then reprogram the new replacement key to erase any signatures from the computer for all keys that were stolen, lost or damaged.

If your car comes with an integrated security chip, or transponder, in the key for fiat 500, this will make replacing the key more expensive. These chips send an electronic signal to your car that confirms that you are the driver, and allow doors to be opened and the engine to start. The average cost for an additional smart key is about $160.
