Auto theft is unfortunately not a rare experience, with the United States alone reporting auto break-ins and thefts at a rate of up to 180 per hour. In designing car alarm systems, many manufacturers have responded to this incredible demand by improving the capabilities of the devices they manufacture.

The car alarm has come a long way from its original design, but so too have car thieves; they are always eager to investigate ways of evading new alarm systems. But does that really mean that car alarms don’t provide adequate protection from thieves?

The simplest alarms rely on circuitry to perform their function; if a locked door is forced then the break in the circuit causes the alarm tone to sound. Advanced car alarm systems have sensors that detect problems. They are designed to sense any trauma to the vehicle, so when someone attempts to force access, the tone sounds. Different alarm tones indicate different types of impact; a short pattern of beeps might indicate a mild disturbance, while an endless, ear-splitting siren is likely to indicate that serious force has been exerted on the body of the car. Because these alarm systems are based on hair-trigger shock sensors, it isn’t at all uncommon for them to misfire in situations where loud noises, like passing trucks, cause the ground to vibrate, or in situations where a bystander might bump into the car or lean on it.

People often question whether or not car alarms really fulfill their role and successfully deter car thieves. According to some experts, the hair-trigger shock sensors used in many car alarms have caused so many false alarms that they have become ineffective. There have been studies showing that people scarcely notice the sound of car alarms due to the high number of false alarms we all hear from day to day.

Manufacturers can no longer rely on old systems to do the job; they are undertaking projects to create new, proactive alarms to address the issue of car-related theft. New and innovative car alarms are designed to allow stolen vehicles to be tracked by owners and authorities and can even immobilize stolen vehicles mid-theft.
