Transponder Keys
Instead of flat metal keys that operate mechanically by cutting the top and bottom transponder (a portmanteau of transmitter and responder) keys have an electronic microchip inside their key heads. When the key is inserted into an automobile equipped with transponder tech, the chip sends out an informational low-level message to the receiver near the ignition switch. If the chip is programmed to do this it will cause the engine to start. Transponder chips are made to protect cars from theft which is why a majority of modern cars use them.
In World War II, coded messages were broadcast over radio frequencies in order to determine if an aircraft was friendly or hostile. The same concept was later applied to keys for cars and keys, with General Motors creating the first transponder chip key in 1985 for its Corvette model. Since then, transponder keys are standard on most new vehicles, and can also be retrofitted to older models.
If you own a vehicle that has this type of security system, it is recommended to always have a spare transponder key at hand, as it will only work if the chip is scanned properly. It isn't foolproof. There are some who have discovered ways to trick this system. There are kits and tutorials on how to bypass the transponder by using wires and electrical relays.
Proximity Keys
Proximity Keys are among the latest keyless entry technology that is becoming popular in a variety of vehicles. They permit drivers to unlock their cars by simply touching the door handle with the key fob that is in their pocket or bag. The key fob communicates with the vehicle, disengaging immobilisers and permitting it to start.
However proximity key systems come with some disadvantages. If the key fob is lost or damaged, it can't be used to start the car. It's costly to have a locksmith or dealership replace it. The fobs are also powered by batteries, which means they'll have to be replaced every now and then.
Another drawback to proximity key technology is that it disrupts the cause/effect process we're used to with physical keys. When you use a traditional key and the lock opens, you are aware that you have the key. With proximity-sensing keys, you'll need to be within a certain distance from the vehicle to activate it.
Despite their downsides, proximity key technology is a great invention for drivers who aren't looking to be locked out of their vehicle. In case of emergency, make sure you have a backup key handy if you own a proximity key. Contact your local Pop-Alock to inquire about services and costs.
Keyless Entry Systems
These systems are synchronized with back-end software that allows landlords to monitor entry and exit. These systems are linked to back-end software, allowing landlords to monitor entrance and exit. In addition, these systems make it easier for tenants to get into the property in case there is a need to enter the property in case of emergency.
A keyless entry system transmits encrypted signals to an inside receiver. The receiver then responds to the signal and either unlocks or starts the engine. It also detects a driver's presence and adjust the settings of the vehicle in accordance with their preferences. It will automatically close the door, for instance the driver has an item in his bag.
While the majority of keyless entry systems are secure, some are vulnerable to attacks. A replay attack, for instance occurs when the remote control signal sent by the device is recorded and sent again at a later point. This can be prevented by creating an algorithm for the keyless entry system that makes sure that every transmission is different from the previous ones.
Another benefit of a keyless entry system is that it doesn't require the replacement of locks following every tenant turnover. This is a significant cost of the unit turnover process and it is sensible for landlords to save money whenever it is possible. With a keyless system, all you need to do is reset the code. This is a lot quicker and easier than replacing the lock.
