Wireless security systems

Wireless technology lends itself to certain security applications, especially those which involves mobile vehicles such as boats, cars, and trucks. Also, a wireless link can alert you to a fire or intrusion at your home or business, when you are not physically present at location.The wireless security system for cars employs a device which transmits a radio signal when vehicle is being improperly operated. The circuits of the system and antenna are concealed, although there may be a warning sticker on the car. If the potential thief knows your vehicle has a wireless security system, he or she will not want to spend a lot of time probably snooping around to find and disable system.

If someone manages to steal your car and it has wireless security system installed, and if you are lucky enough to find out about the theft within a short time, tell the police about the security system. The police have a wireless transmitter which sends out a signal which contains the vehicle identification number (VIN) for your car. The signal can be received by equipment in your car, which starts up its own transmitter. By using radiolocation equipment, police can identify the position of the car on a map. From the, mobile direction finding radio receivers is taken in use to reach car. In some of the cases police have caught thieves while they were actually driving the stolen cars.

A home or business wireless security system operates in a similar way like a paging device or beeper. If anything happens that triggers the security system, a radio signal is transmitted that sets off small radio receiver you carry. Such a system will ideally telephone police and/or fire department as well. If you happen to be near your home or business, you can certainly drive to the site.
