Transponder Keys
Instead of flat metal keys that work mechanically using cuts on the top and bottom transponder (a portmanteau of transmitter and responder) keys have an electronic microchip within their key heads. When the key is inserted into an automobile that uses transponder technology the chip transmits an insignificant message to a receiver located near the ignition switch. If the chip is programmed to do so it will trigger the engine to start. Transponder chips were developed to prevent car thieves and that is why they are found in the majority of modern cars.
Transponder technology was first introduced in World War II, when coded messages were transmitted over radio frequencies to determine if incoming aircraft were friendly or hostile. The same concept was later applied to keys for cars in the form of General Motors creating the first transponder chip key in the year 1985 for its Corvette model. Since then, a majority of new vehicles come equipped with these keys, and they're also popular for older models that can be retrofitted with them.
If you have a car equipped with this kind of security system, it is recommended to always keep a spare transponder key at hand, as it will only work in the event that the chip is scanned correctly. However, this isn't completely foolproof and some have discovered ways to fool the transponder system, such as tutorials and kits that describe how to bypass it with electrical relays and wiring.
Proximity Keys
Proximity Keys are one of the newest technology for keyless entry that is becoming popular in a variety of vehicles. The key fob is carried in a pocket, or bag and used to unlock the car. The key fob connects to the vehicle, removing immobilisers from the vehicle and permitting it to start.
There are a few disadvantages for proximity key systems however. If the key fob is damaged or lost the fob isn't usable to start the vehicle. It's costly to find a locksmith or a dealership to replace it. The fobs are also powered by batteries, meaning they will need to be periodically replaced.
The proximity key technology has the disadvantage of breaking the cause-and effect cycle that we are all familiar with when using physical keys. When you use a traditional key and the lock opens, you are aware that you have the key. You must be within a specific distance to activate a proximity-sensing keys.
Despite their downsides, proximity key technology is an amazing tool for drivers who aren't looking to lock themselves out of their car. In the event of an emergency, make sure you have an additional key on hand if you own a proximity-key. Contact your local Pop-Alock to get a quote for services and costs.
Keyless Entry Systems
These systems are synchronized to back-end software, allowing landlords to monitor both exit and entry. These systems sync with back-end software, allowing landlords to keep track of access and exit. In addition these systems make it easier for tenants to access the property in the event there is a need to enter the property in case of emergency.
Keyless entry systems transmit encrypted signals to an inside receiver. The receiver then interprets the signal and opens or starts the engine. It can also detect the presence of an individual driver and adjust settings to suit their preferences. It will shut the door, for instance the driver has a bag in his hands.
While the majority of keyless entry systems are incredibly secure, some are vulnerable to attack. For instance a replay attack occurs where the original remote control signal is recorded, and then sent back to the device at a later point. This can be prevented by using an algorithm in the keyless entry system that makes sure that every transmission is distinct from the previous ones.
A keyless entry system also has the advantage that it doesn't require changing locks every time a tenant moves out. It is expensive to change locks every time a tenant moves out which is why it is recommended that landlords avoid this expense as much as possible. If you have a keyless system, all you have to do is reset the code. This is much faster and easier than replacing the lock.
