maia Posted July 26, 2007 Share Posted July 26, 2007 Hi there. There are a lot of panels/rkp's out there that accept arming/disarming by using a token/proximity key. How can that be safe? I mean, you could get stolen, burglars may force you into giving them the key, etc. How can that be safe? Isn't a standard PIN more effective and less prone to problems?

breff Posted July 26, 2007 Share Posted July 26, 2007 Its all down to the police believing that alarm users are too stupid to remember a 4 digit number. Mind you, they are probably right. We only use fobs if we cannot fit a shunt lock to the door (we use the lock to start entry not to disarm) The opinions I express are mine and are usually correct! (Except when I'm wrong)(which I'm not) Link to comment https://www.thesecurityinstaller.co.uk/community/topic/20060-proximity-keys/#findComment-173422 Share on other sites More sharing options...

maia Posted July 26, 2007 Author Share Posted July 26, 2007 I can see when a feyfob may be nice and that's when you're entering the garage in your car. Slide the window down and just put the keyfob next to the receiver. But even then, I think that should only get the timer delayed or something and still require PIN. There is a system I've seen yesterday (Bosch, latest version) that's keyfob only! No keypad at all and the system talks to you. I can understand it might be simpler for the average joe, but so is security down a few notches by implementing such method.

maia Posted July 26, 2007 Author Share Posted July 26, 2007 it means its a police requirement So all (new) alarm systems installed in the UK need to have some sort of wireless keyfob in order to arm/disarm the system?
