Car alarms consist of numerous electronic sensors designed to take action against a breach of a vehicle, such as unauthorized entry, breaking of glass, sudden movement, and perimeter violations. Once a threat is detected, a siren operating at over 120 dBs activates, alerting the car’s driver. This works well when drivers is within the distance of the siren.The older kind of alarm does not work very well. One reason is that they are Flexible-circuit alarms and single-stage sirens, which are prone to repeated false alarms, will eventually reduce the willingness of your community to react to a legitimate break-in.
Current alarm systems now overcome sensitivity problems using multistage electronics that differentiate gentle, accidental bumps from serious breaches using a “chirp” rather than a loud siren. Other features on modern alarms include unauthorized transmitter detection, which provides an alert when a foreign remote is trying to breach your cars security systems.

Electronic immobilizers
For a growing number of modern vehicles, car keys play a more effective role in protecting their cars thanks to integrated electronic immobilizers. Specifically, key is planted with built-in transponders or microchips that send signals to the ignition and fuel-pump systems of the vehicle. When an attempt is made to use the car without these signals, the car will refuse to start. Based on the high-tech nature of these systems, car thieves often avoid makes and models that were made after the introduction of electronic immobilizers. In 2005, seven model years of the Acura Integra was among the top 25 most stolen vehicles in the USA. However, not one model year of the successor vehicle, the Acura RSX series, made the list because of the installation of chip-laced keys.
