Keyless Entry System

Keyless entry systems are a great way to secure your rental property without physical keys. These systems allow guests and tenants to access the property with a code, or their smartphones. These systems can be used with intercoms that allow video and audio communications. This provides people with multiple ways to gain access to a building. Certain keyless entry systems are cloud-based that allow them to be managed remotely, and also offer more advanced features.

You can install the keyless entry system in any type of property, whether it is residential or commercial. The hardware must be installed at every entry point. The system needs to be controlled and configured via a central console or an app for smartphones. The keyless entry system market is expected to expand at a CAGR of 11.8% between 2016 and 2022 according to Technavio. The market's growth is attributed to the growing demand for security systems in commercial vehicles.

Many people fear being locked out of their homes So they keep spare keys in a secure location. This poses a major security risk since criminals are aware of where people store their spare keys and will easily find them. Installing a keyless entry system at your home is the most effective method to avoid this. This will ensure that you don't be locked out again.

Transponder Chip

The transponder, or "chip key" is a microchip that is embedded in the head portion of your car keys. It's one of the most crucial safety layers for your vehicle. The word transponder is derived from the combination of responder and transmitter which is because, when the key is inserted into the ignition and then turned, the antenna ring of your vehicle sends a burst of radio frequency energy to the transponder chip. The chip responds by transmitting its unique identification code back to the antenna ring. The car's computer deciphers this information and determines whether it is a valid or not.

The key must be a transponder key to start the car. If it is not, then the vehicle will be immobilized. The chip is protected by a special polycarbonate layer that blocks it from being cloned with regular mechanical keys or copied with laser equipment. Beishir Lock and Security carries a wide assortment of transponder keys at just a fraction of the price of car dealerships.

G28 Car Keys started to gain popularity in the 80's, when GM introduced them into the Corvette. This technology dramatically reduced vehicle thefts because hot-wiring became obsolete.

Immobiliser System

The engine immobiliser system (also known as the anti-theft system) is a vital aspect of your car's security. When you insert your key into the ignition switch or Smart Key fob, the transponder chip inside will send a code to the vehicle's Electronic Control Unit (ECU). The ECU verifies that the code transmitted by the chip matches the code stored in it and then only allows the engine to start.

This is the primary method the immobiliser in your car prevents theft. If the chip's code does not match the code on the ECU will stop the flow of current from the fuel pump relay to the injection system, preventing the engine from beginning. Additionally the immobiliser can disable the starter motor as well as the ignition coil to prevent the engine from being started by force.

Unfortunately, the system is not foolproof. The code that unlocks the immobiliser of your car could be hacked by thieves and used to open it. However, the latest versions of these systems feature a an extended cryptographic sequence that is more difficult to determine.

Car immobilisers have been required since 1998 but many cars were equipped with basic immobilisers prior to the introduction of immobilisers. It's important to note that while an immobiliser makes it harder to steal a car it doesn't stop thieves from towing it away or breaking into the car in order to steal your valuables.

Key Replacement

Losing a remote, key or fob can be expensive and stressful. Locksmiths must gain access to the vehicle, decode or run the VIN, then reprogramme the new replacement to remove any old signatures on the computer for all of the keys that have been lost, stolen or damaged.


The cost of replacing a key will be more expensive if you own a car that has a transponder or integrated security chip. These chips transmit signals to the car that verifies your identity as a driver, and allows the doors to be opened or the engine to start. The typical cost for an additional smart key is approximately $160.
