Boston Alarm Company, Sentry Protective, Discusses How to Prepare for a Tech Savvy Burglar

BILLERICA, Mass. - Sept. 22, 2015 - PRLog -- When protecting a home or business from burglary, property owners often think that once an alarm and burglar proofing have been installed, they will be completely safe. However, a Boston alarm company, Sentry Protective is making members of the public aware of the fact that burglars are becoming more tech savvy than ever – especially when it comes to remote garage door or gate openers and vehicle alarm systems.

Wireless key fobs, garage and gate remotes and even vehicle alarm systems all have one thing in common, which is that they can all be hacked or jammed, rendering them ineffective. The easiest way to determine whether signal jamming devices may be present is when a keyless fob or remote does not operate the first time it is pressed.

The Boston alarm company went on to state that one of the best ways to prevent becoming a victim of remote signal jamming is to ensure that buttons on remotes and fobs are only pressed once when being used. It is also recommended that all older remotes for garage and gate openers be switched over to those that operate by means of a rolling code system, as this makes it more difficult for them to be copied.
