How to choose a credible and suitable vehicle anti-theft product

Types of vehicle anti-theft products

At present, there are basically three types of vehicle anti-theft products in terms of technical categories: mechanical anti-theft devices, electronic (electromechanical) anti-theft alarm devices, and networked anti-theft alarm (location, tracking) systems; they are classified as "original" from the manufacturing and installation links That is, the vehicle has been determined and installed in the design and manufacturing process and "after-installation" (that is, the vehicle is selected and installed separately by the dealer, insurer or user after the vehicle leaves the factory).

Some products can be a combination of the above different types of products, such as the electromechanical integrated vehicle anti-theft alarm products (combining the characteristics of mechanical locks and electronic anti-theft alarms), products that use RP machines or mobile phone alarms (electronic anti-theft with wireless communication) Alarm), fixed parking space monitoring alarm (electronic anti-theft alarm with additional parking space detection), etc.

Before the vehicle leaves the factory, certain mechanical anti-theft devices are required, such as door locks (fuel tank lid locks), ignition switch locks, and trunk locks. With the development of technology and user needs, more and more new models have original electronic ( (Electrical and mechanical) anti-theft alarm devices, car owners are eager to car, and they are constantly looking for more satisfactory anti-theft products.

In a car, you can use two types of products at the same time to obtain higher protection, but if you use two types of electronic (electromechanical) products at the same time, you must consider the compatibility between each other and the vehicle Of course, the compatibility also includes the convenience of use, so usually use a mechanical anti-theft device as the second means of protection.

Basic situation of vehicle anti-theft equipment in China

Regardless of "original", "back-mounted", mechanical, electronic, or networked, the popularity of vehicle anti-theft products in China has increased year by year. According to a survey conducted in Beijing three years ago, vehicles without original anti-theft products are usually equipped with electronic (electromechanical) anti-theft products. Some vehicles with original electronic (electro-mechanical) anti-theft products have added mechanical anti-theft locks. The rate of installing anti-theft products has exceeded 60%. Now, most of the new models have original electronic (electromechanical) anti-theft alarm devices.

In general, China's vehicle anti-theft products are close to the international level, and have become a major country in the production and export of low-end products. They have unique technologies in certain mechanical anti-theft products, and the construction of a networked anti-theft and anti-robbing alarm (location, tracking) system. And development showed strong momentum. At present, the development is uneven in various regions, and the coastal areas and large cities are more developed. However, there are widespread products and services, and the phenomenon is mixed, because the product has many channels to enter the market (such as original car, installed by car dealers, users There are many channels for the production of products selected by the store or mail-ordered from other places, designated or gifted by insurers, etc. (designed and manufactured by China, imported, processed with materials, produced by the automotive industry, and (Produced in the electronics industry, some from the security industry), different manufacturers have different views on the implementation of regulations and standards, product design and production levels are not consistent, and product updates are faster, at the same time, the market and products, services The supervision is not enough (shown that the untested and certified vehicle protection products on the market exceed half of the total, and the original anti-theft products of the vehicle are basically not regulated), even if the national and certain regions ’quality and technical supervision departments have carried out The limited supervision and random inspection only shows that the passing rate of vehicle protection products on the market is low, Product, its performance is uneven.

Vehicle anti-theft products should comply with China's relevant regulations, standards and market supervision

1. The design and manufacture of vehicle anti-theft products should comply with relevant standards
The current applicable standards are as follows:

——The relevant Chinese standards that are mainly applicable to mechanical anti-theft products are GB15740-1995 "Performance Requirements for Automobile Anti-theft Devices" and GA / T73-1994 "Mechanical Anti-theft Locks". The former standard is related to the vehicle's "original" mechanical anti-theft device requirements, and the latter standard specifies the requirements for various mechanical anti-theft locks. Combining their requirements can lead to the general requirements for vehicle mechanical anti-theft devices. Common original Door locks, ignition switch locks, rear-mounted gearshift locks, steering wheel locks, tire locks, etc. should belong to this category.

——The relevant national standards mainly applicable to electronic (electromechanical) anti-theft alarm products are GA 2-1999 "Vehicle Anti-theft Alarm System Passenger Car", and the international relevant standards are IEC 839-10-1: 1995 "Vehicle security alarm systems Passenger cars" . Since China's standards adopt international standards, these two standards are the same, that is to say, China's relevant standards have been in line with international standards, anti-theft alarm products for domestic cars and imported cars should be treated equally. The national standard is slightly different from the international standard, in order to reduce noise and disturb people, it does not allow non-alarm sounds and strengthens the anti-interference test. In particular, it should be pointed out that, because it involves the safety of people and property, our standards are mandatory. Common various car anti-theft alarms, various vehicle anti-theft alarm systems, electronic locks, etc. should belong to such products.

——China's relevant standards applicable to networked anti-theft and anti-robbery alarm (positioning, tracking) system products are OA / T379-2001 (information format and protocol of the serial data interface of the alarm transmission system) and the upcoming "Vehicle Reaction Anti-theft Network Alarm" System Technical Requirements "," Vehicle Reaction Anti-theft Network Alarm System Interface ", series of standards for security and alarm systems, etc., and some provinces (such as Beijing) have also issued local standards. Of course, no matter how complicated these networked systems are, the equipment used in the car should still be based on China's GA2-1999 "Vehicle Anti-theft Alarm System Passenger Car" standard. At the same time, networking must rely on communications and must also comply with China's radio management and communications industry standards.

——If vehicle anti-theft products adopt and are equipped with detectors, they should meet the detection requirements, current consumption requirements and false alarm test requirements in China GA2-1999 "Vehicle Anti-theft Alarm System Passenger Cars" standard, and the number of seats should also meet China Detectors (such as ultrasonic, infrared, microwave, magnetic switch, etc.) are required in a series of related standards.
