Nowadays thieves are looking for an easy plunder and have focused their eyes upon construction equipments too. Each year, construction equipment worth one billion dollar is stolen from the construction sites and the police can not do a thing about this. These machines no not have a registration plate and so they are not easy to track after being stolen.



Even hiring security guards was not efficient because most of them were unarmed and they were in a small number and could not cover the entire construction area.

In order to prevent easy stealing many companies have produced special construction equipment alarms. These alarms are portable; they include a base unit with motion and vibration sensor, a siren and even a strobe light. These mobile construction equipment alarms are connected to the internet and allow the owners and the police to track the stolen vehicles in no time.

The construction equipment alarm is easy to mount on the machines, with the help of magnets or using screws. This modern alarm contains a GPS locator which helps owners find their machines anytime. Also, an alarm notification will alert the owner regarding to a movement of the equipment or if someone tries to remove the construction equipment alarm from its place. This type of alarm has power for about 30 days, and then the lithium ion battery will have to be recharged.

The construction equipment alarm functions in this way: if the equipment is stolen, the alarm will give the owner a phone call or an e-mail notification regarding to a possible burglary. A quick access on the internet using a personal pass code will show a map of the area and the precise location of the stolen equipment.

With the help of construction equipment alarm the owner of the machine will recover his asset very quickly.

Another modern device is the keyless ignition device. A few years ago companies have thought of a product that eliminates the need for ignition keys and also tracks the vehicle.

This way they have created the keyless ignition devices using radio frequency identification.

These devices are easy to use; they work by tapping an ID card near the area covered by a radio frequency identification interrogator situated in the vehicle. This way the vehicle will unblock its doors and after another command it will start its engine.

The commander reader of the keyless ignition device is small as a pack of gum and is situated under the dashboard of vehicles. The reader will capture the signal from the ID card and will turn green if the person is authorized to start the vehicle. If the ID driving card is not recognized the light on the reader will turn red, meaning that the driver has no access to the vehicle.

The keyless ignition devices can work six feet away from the vehicle, so you do not have to use keys any more because once you got closer to your car the door will unlock automatically. The engine will start at another command or after pushing a button.

The keyless ignition devices do not require batteries; it sends pulses or radio frequency energy, so you will never have problems starting your car because you forgot to change the batteries.

These special devices can also get connected to the internet and with this function you can track your car, see when it was used and where.

The construction equipment alarm and the keyless ignition devices are great inventions which will spare of your time searching for the keys and completing forms at the police station if the vehicles are stolen.
