In the field of automobile safety protection, car alarm and the original anti-theft system of the vehicle do not exist in isolation. The two can work together to build a more stringent security line. As the basic safety configuration of the car when it leaves the factory, the original anti-theft system of the vehicle usually includes core functional modules such as engine anti-theft, electronic anti-theft chip, and door lock control. Its design is deeply integrated with the vehicle electrical system, and it has natural advantages in stability and compatibility; while car alarm is an additional safety product derived from the diversified needs of the market, with rich functions and strong flexibility. If the two can be organically combined, the anti-theft performance of the vehicle will be greatly improved.
From the perspective of system principles, car alarm and the original anti-theft system can complement each other in signal interaction. The electronic anti-theft chip of the original anti-theft system will authenticate with the engine control unit when the vehicle is started. Only when the match is successful can the engine be started, which fundamentally blocks the possibility of illegal startup. On this basis, car alarm can monitor abnormal vibration, displacement, etc. of the vehicle in real time by adding sensors and other equipment. When the anti-theft device detects an abnormal signal, in addition to sounding an alarm, it can also send an alarm message to the owner's mobile phone, and at the same time link the original anti-theft system to cut off the oil circuit or circuit, so that the vehicle cannot run normally even if it is forced to start, further strengthening the anti-theft effect.
In terms of alarm mechanism, the two can also play a greater role in coordination. The alarm function of the original anti-theft system is relatively simple, and generally only sounds a sound prompt through the vehicle horn. Car alarm often has multiple alarm methods, such as high-decibel sirens, remote text messages or APP push alarms. When the vehicle encounters illegal intrusion, the car alarm triggers the alarm, which can quickly attract the attention of the surrounding people and deter criminals. At the same time, the owner can obtain vehicle abnormal information through the mobile phone at the first time and take timely countermeasures. At this time, the original anti-theft system can also cooperate to block the key systems of the vehicle to prevent the vehicle from being stolen. The dual alarm mechanism significantly improves the timeliness and effectiveness of anti-theft.
From the perspective of protection range, car alarm can make up for the protection blind spots of the original anti-theft system. The original anti-theft system mainly protects the vehicle startup and driving links, but the protection of doors, windows and other parts when the vehicle is parked is relatively weak. Car alarm can monitor all parts of the vehicle in an all-round way by installing door and window sensors, tilt sensors, etc. Once someone tries to pry or break the door and window, or the vehicle is dragged abnormally, the anti-theft device will immediately start the alarm, and can be linked with the original anti-theft system to implement a secondary lock on the vehicle, effectively preventing the vehicle from being stolen when it is stationary.
In terms of technical integration, with the development of science and technology, the integration of car alarm and original anti-theft system has continued to deepen. Some new car alarms use communication protocols compatible with the original anti-theft system, which can access the vehicle's electronic control system more smoothly. This allows the two to achieve closer collaboration in terms of function. For example, the anti-theft device can use the original vehicle network to obtain vehicle status information and more accurately determine whether the vehicle is at risk of being stolen; the original anti-theft system can also use the remote control function of the anti-theft device to remotely track the vehicle's location after the vehicle is stolen, and assist the police in recovering the stolen vehicle.
In terms of user experience, the collaboration between the two also brings many conveniences. In the past, the installation of an anti-theft device on a vehicle may be incompatible with the original system, resulting in problems such as the vehicle fault light turning on and electronic equipment abnormalities. Nowadays, through optimized design and technical improvements, high-quality car alarms can coexist harmoniously with the original anti-theft system and are more convenient to operate. Car owners can use a unified control terminal, such as mobile phone APP or vehicle central control screen, to manage the various functions of the original anti-theft system and car alarm at the same time, such as remote locking, unlocking, and checking the anti-theft status, which greatly improves the convenience and safety of use.
The collaboration between car alarm and the original anti-theft system of the vehicle is a process of continuous development and improvement. With the application of new technologies such as the Internet of Things, big data, and artificial intelligence, the two will achieve more intelligent linkage in the future, such as predicting the risk of vehicle theft through data analysis and taking preventive measures in advance; using artificial intelligence technology to intelligently identify alarm information and reduce false alarm rates. Through continuous technological innovation and function optimization, the collaboration between the two will provide more reliable protection for vehicle safety protection, allowing car owners to use their vehicles more at ease.
