DIY Vehicle Security Innovations

[koala53]

Good morning people. If anyone is interested, how about making it possible for anyone who is mobile, a motor homer, caravan type or just those to travel a lot, be equipped with some of this ANPR and recognition kit. The Police and Local councils have this stuff to monitor and control, anyone with a vehicle, and we pay for that in our taxes. Just like a dash camera, if we normal and regular travellers have this equipment, then we can tour anywhere and be automatically on the look out for stolen vehicles of any type. We don't need the bits of programming that tell us if a vehicle has an up to date MOT, INSURANCE or anything else, what we need to know is if the vehicle is reported as stolen or subject to an urgent enquiry. If we have such units, then they can report automatically to the proper authorities, hopefully the police, where it is and whether it's moving or abandoned.

Those units we are encouraged to install by insurance companies, are just trackers and can be defeated. If we have such a unit as I'm describing, that also can probably be defeated, but not quickly or completely. It can't be a surprise that we need to look after our own interests, regardless of whatever authority might want to say or do, so we'll get on and do it, our way.

If nasty type want to ride around on motor scooters and snatch mobile phones off people in the street, we can do our share to stop that sort of thing as well. We have those who cut down poles with speed cameras, low emition zone cameras and other detector devices. When are we going to get those AI and automatic detectors which measure how much noise a vehicle makes going past, or those that give out minor amounts of CO2 which might be just above any legal limit. Facial Recognition is already out and about on our streets, who does that report to. If we are out of the country, how long will it be until some one comes up with a system to track and report on our movements, such that an unpaid parking fine, awarded by a company, not an authority, results in immediate trouble when returned to this country.

Is that army number ?

No! Try the date and time. Could be Air Force, but not ours.

 

[Revolvor]

....... the date and time.

Why?

 

[Phill D]

Why?

Maybe the op is a Trecky, Captain Kirk star date 28042024 1101!

Why didn't your insurers ask for a significant increase in premiums. It's not fair that everybody else should pay for totalling your moho after either deliberately or accidentally triggering some of these devices.

Or the compensation they would have to pay to the victims

Just visit Vanbitz and get the “Growler Alarm & Non-Starter” fitted.
Nothing else needed. Simple !!

why would you tell them?

Why would you be claiming?

Or the compensation they would have to pay to the victims

I'd go back & top any family claimants of the thieves: That's the idea .

I strongly suspect these posts are an Experimental AI Chat-Bot trying to wind everyone up until someone finally snaps and hunts down its creator to exterminate them with "the death of 1000 blunt-paper cuts".

Still, at least after those 5 free posts, it may have short-circuited.

I love your ideas and im going to borrow some thanks ,,

Back in the 80s it was possible to buy a special servo unit that locked all the doors when a vehicle hit 20mph without disabling the servo , which obviously the thief would not know about ,, then when the car hit 35mph the brakes would also be cut off ... I doubt it was legal but me and some mates got some of these units and used to leave our cars open but sadly no one tried to steal them ,,.... Probably for the best eh ???

Three would be over kill but one should be sufficient….

Whenever I do a dump in the loo ..... It looks afterwards like a claymore has gone off anyway, so my loo should be well intruder-proof.
