These electronic security devices prevent a car from starting unless the correct key or fob is used. They are an essential addition to any vehicle's security system and are highly recommended by vehicle security specialists.
Most immobilisers use a fob or tag which will allow the car to start once either is in the vicinity.
It’s a simple yet effective anti-theft device. With a car immobiliser, your vehicle can’t be hotwired and started without the correct component.
To improve security, please ensure you keep your keys or fobs in a faraday pouch.
This revolutionary system takes motor security to the next level. Instead of a code embedded into the key or fob, it is unique to the vehicle owner and activated via the activation of various buttons on the door panels, centre console or steering wheel.
Even if thieves do gain entry to your car or commercial vehicle, they won’t be able to start it. The best they can do is tow it away, yet they still won’t be able to drive it. And towing is only going to bring attention.
Ghost immobilisers can also be paired with your smartphone to disarm the security system remotely.
Automatically immobilising your vehicle when the ignition has been switched off (within 90 seconds), the Shadow Immobiliser is operated via a driver detection card or smartphone app. This saves time manually reactivating the system by sequencing, for example. The immobiliser is fully operational as a standalone security feature or can be used in conjunction with our range of tracking devices and alarms.
This UK-manufactured Thatcham-approved immobiliser is also recognised by insurance companies. The Sterling Excel CAT 2 Immobiliser automatically prevents a vehicle from starting unless the driver ID tag is within 2 metres. As there is no need to arm the security system physically, drivers are less likely to draw attention to themselves or their vehicles but can walk away confidently.
User-friendly and highly efficient, the Meta BLE42 immobiliser is operated via Bluetooth. The system will activate when the ignition is switched off, and the engine won’t restart unless the driver ID tag is within range. Vehicle owners are also provided with a 3-digit override code, offering additional peace of mind should the tag be misplaced or its battery requires replacement.
Whilst often relegated to a supporting role, vehicle alarms still pack a punch regarding security. Modern alarms are far from old-fashioned; sophisticated sensors can detect not just door breaches but also vibrations, broken glass, and even attempts to tamper with the ignition. This early warning system empowers you to act immediately, whether contacting authorities or remotely immobilising the vehicle.
The long-term value of a reliable alarm system is undeniable. Insurance companies often offer discounts for vehicles with alarms, acknowledging their effectiveness in reducing theft risks. Additionally, the peace of mind gained from knowing your car is actively protected is priceless.
Our vehicle security specialists at SC Audio and Security recommend the following:
Easy to operate via a remote fob, the Autowatch 695 alarm is a Thatcham-approved security system compatible with more modern vehicles. The alarm is designed for CANBUS systems and will upgrade any CAT 2 immobiliser into a fully acceptable CAT 1 alarm system for UK insurance company approval. Our Autowatch 695 alarms are operational via your existing vehicle remote device.
Optional extras include wireless sensors for doors on recreational vehicles.
Programmed to your vehicle's make and model, the Meta EasyCan alarm is a reliable and cost-effective solution to your security needs. It’s compatible with all brands and activated via the original remote supplied, making it easy to use and highly convenient. Also designed for CANBUS systems, its sensors adjust for temperature fluctuations, thus preventing false activation.
Our vehicle security specialists will install whichever system best suits your requirements and budget. This can be done at home, work, or a dealership before delivery.
