Van Security Systems Kent
My van already came with factory security, so do I need additional security?
That depends on several factors, including the security level you require, your insurance conditions, and how effective your van’s factory alarm really is. Let’s explore what to consider:
Is Your Factory Alarm Thatcham-Approved?
Insurance Requirements
How Secure Is Your Van?
- Basic factory alarms often lack features like motion or tilt sensors, which can detect tampering or break-ins beyond just opening a door.
- If you carry valuable tools or equipment, a more advanced alarm system with these sensors, along with additional load area protection and visible deterrents like LEDs, can make a big difference in preventing theft.
- Upgrading security can also give you peace of mind, knowing your investment is protected even when parked in less secure areas.
You may also want to consider additional physical security measures such as deadlocks, steering wheel locks, or van vaults to further enhance protection.
Upgrading to a Better System
Bottom Line
If your van already has a Thatcham-approved alarm and immobiliser, you may feel secure, but if you store high-value items inside or if your insurer suggests it, upgrading your security could provide added protection and potentially reduce insurance costs. Investing in better security now could prevent future hassle, theft, and downtime.
