Transponder Keys
Contrary to the flat metal keys which work mechanically using cuts on the top and bottom transponder (a portmanteau of responder and transmitter) keys have an electronic microchip embedded in their key heads. When inserted into a car that has transponder technology, the chip sends a low-level signal to a receiver that is located near the ignition switch. If the chip is programmed to do so it will trigger the engine to start. Transponder chips are designed to protect cars from theft This is the reason they are in use in many modern automobiles.
Transponder technology was first used in World War II, when coded messages were transmitted over radio frequencies to determine whether aircraft incoming were friendly or hostile. General Motors created the first transponder key in 1985 for its Corvette. Since then, all new cars come with them, and they're also popular for older models that are retrofitted to include them.
If you have a car equipped with this kind of security system, it is recommended to always keep an extra transponder keys on hand, as it only works when the chip is read correctly. This is not foolproof. Some people have found ways to fool this system. They include kits and tutorials on how to bypass the transponder with wires and electrical relays.
Proximity keys
Proximity Keys are one of the newest keyless entry technologies that are becoming popular in a variety of vehicles. The key fob is put in a pocket or bag and used to unlock the car. The key fob then connects to the car, removing the immobiliser and allowing for the engine to begin.
However proximity key systems come with some disadvantages. If the key fob becomes damaged or lost, it can't be used to start your car. A locksmith or a dealership will need to replace it, and this can be expensive. Batteries also provide power to the fobs, so they'll need to be changed periodically.
Another disadvantage of proximity key technology is that it breaks the cause-and-effect cycle that we're familiar with using physical keys. If you're using a traditional key and the lock opens, you know that you have the key. With proximity-sensing keys you'll have to be within a certain distance of the vehicle to activate it.
Despite their drawbacks the proximity key technology is an excellent invention for drivers who aren't looking to be locked out of their car. If you have a proximity key, it is recommended to always keep a backup key on hand in the event of an emergency. If you require a new key, call the local Pop-A Lock to inquire about replacement costs and also to request a quotation for services.
Keyless Entry Systems
The days of storing keys in the home are over, and landlords can give tenants more security by installing the keyless entry system. These systems are linked to back-end software, allowing landlords to monitor entrance and exit. In addition these systems make it simpler for tenants to enter the property in the event an emergency.
A keyless entry system sends encrypted signals to an inside receiver. The receiver then detects the signal and then unlocks or starts the engine. It can also detect the presence of an individual driver and adjust settings to accommodate their preferences. It will automatically shut the door, for instance the driver is carrying bags in his hands.
Some keyless entry systems can be prone to attacks, despite being extremely secure. A replay attack, for example occurs when the remote control signal from the device is recorded and sent again at a later date. This can be avoided by using an algorithm in the keyless entry system, which ensures that each transmission is distinct from the previous one.
A keyless entry system has the advantage that it doesn't require changing locks every when a tenant moves out. This is a costly part of the unit turnover process, and it makes sense for landlords to reduce this expense as often as possible. With a keyless system all you have to do is reset the code. The Key Lab is a lot quicker and less costly than replacing the lock.
