New from the alarm panel manufacturer Pyronix is the CarDefender; a device for security of vehicles. To deter vehicle theft (particularly keyless theft), the product raises the house alarm in the event of an attempted theft. Users given early warning can ring 999.
Laurence Kenny, Pyronix Marketing Director, said “The CarDefender is a pioneering device for our industry. It’s great to be able to offer a completely new solution to the market for vehicle theft detection.”
Working with Pyronix products, the CarDefender secures vehicles within the wireless home range of the control panel. It features a three-axis accelerometer with three configurable detection modes, which are able to detect shock or tilt. The device can be set to trigger for shock only, tilt only, or if either shock or tilt is detected. A brightly-coloured silicone rubber mount lets a user strap it to a vehicle’s steering wheel as visual deterrence.
Laurence added: “The new offering delivers on our commitment to continually provide our installers with innovative solutions, helping them to boost growth and deliver true customer value. We’re really pleased to release the CarDefender and offer a new security solution that protects vehicles against theft, in addition to delivering security and safety solutions for homes and commercial buildings.”
The product comes with a conformally coated PCB (as the device is not IP rated, it is not recommended for harsh, wet conditions or where it is exposed to the elements). It comes with a one-year battery life and a two-year warranty. Visit www.pyronix.com.
