Autóriasztó

Autóriasztó is a Hungarian term that translates to "car alarm" in English. It refers to an electronic device installed in a vehicle to deter theft and unauthorized entry. These systems are designed to detect suspicious activity and trigger an audible alarm and/or visual flashing lights to alert the owner and bystanders.

Modern autóriasztó systems can range from basic models that detect door openings and ignition tampering to sophisticated setups offering features like immobilizers, remote control operation, shock sensors, tilt sensors, and even GPS tracking. The primary function of an autóriasztó is to act as a deterrent, making the vehicle a less attractive target for thieves. When activated, the alarm typically emits a loud siren and flashes the vehicle's lights, drawing attention to the potential crime.

The installation of an autóriasztó is a common security measure for vehicles. It can be factory-fitted by the car manufacturer or installed as an aftermarket accessory. The effectiveness of an autóriasztó can vary depending on its complexity, the skill of the installer, and the sophistication of the theft attempt. While they are a valuable tool in vehicle security, they are often used in conjunction with other anti-theft measures such as steering wheel locks or immobilizer systems.
