THE BEST WAY TO SECURE YOUR TOOLS AND VAN...TIME TO FIGHT BACK!!

YOU NEED TO SECURE YOUR VAN!!
Today's video is about the Vanguardian, a security system installed on the outside of your vehicle which activates when any area of the zonal protected area is touched or tampered with.

Standard alarms will only activate once the doors have been damaged, this will activate before the damage has been done and gives you half a chance to get out there to defend your property or if that's not really your style, it will spook the thieves as they like to work in the quiet.
Hope you enjoy!!

Another worthwhile thing to do is put air-tags / Tile trackers on your most likely stolen tools. My Drill pinged from inside a local guy's shed. We had a polite chat - and I got it back.

I have motorcycle which I keep in a robust shed, I put lock on the door which was totally steel & wired it up to 220volts which I turn on after locking, I do not care if anyone gets electrocuted if they try to steal !

[karlkiernan]

I used to fit car alarms some years ago and it is very important to place the siren somewhere out of sight to prevent it from being disabled. This device really doesnt strike me as money well spent and I would rather not describe the ways it could be easly disabled.

I have an old Cattle Prod wired to my Transit. There have been several attempts but No damage, just puddles of pish from disabled bowels 😘

Good one, I've had a van door recked by two blokes trying to get in. I disturbed them before they got anything, they got in their car and waved as they drove off. It's a horrible experience and gutting. They were of a certain community of people i could tell. Police do nothing unless there's violence on either part. Scum bag low life's. Still pisses me off, and makes me paranoid. These alarms do look good, thanks for sharing 😊👍

the best security is one that can be seen ie big external locks, followed by electronic pir alarms inside and tools in locked bolted down boxes. but the old adage is if they want in they will get in. or just tow the van away.

Funny, after being hit several times in my career in Australia, I had this idea numerous times but never applied it. Just found that it got in the way. Even though the product you are showing is flawless. Instead, I have 2 x deadlocks on both front doors. The nearside and rear doors are secured internally. No, you don't have to climb in to lock the doors. It is very discreet, basically undetectable from the outside. The only giveaway is if someone is watching how I do it which is quite difficult from a distance. Good luck gents.

I can see the local kids setting this off just for fun!

Adam it’s about layers of security. If you want to protect your van whilst at home invest in a Pyronix alarm and then add a Car Defender £30. This is a wireless device that adds to the house alarm and is designed to protect the vehicle from keyless entry theft, catalytic converter theft, tool theft. It has two technologies built in shock sensor and accelerometer (tilt). It can be set to trigger the house alarm and mobile app or just send a push notification to the app and the app says Car Defender activated.

My van was done in a “secure” car park near Heathrow it’s lit and covered in cctv cameras. There are staff on site 24/7 it was parked 10m from the reception and you have to negotiate a barrier access system to get onsite. Staff had been told not to interfere as it’s too dangerous and not to bother phoning the Met as they never turn up. Just goes to show the intelligence of these thieves, all you need to do to see if a van is loaded is look at the rear wheel arches, I had to replace the side door but nothing was stolen as the van was empty. Next time I will just leave it unlocked.

[stevelawrence]

I put bars with drywall screws to stop people breaking in.
The police said that i could be charged if a theif was injured, when breaking into my van.

[johnd]

Stick them on the inside of the doors, in the recesses. Maybe the keyfob will set it from outside?

[madMARTYNmarsh]

My brothers work van has been broken into numerous times. He is a diamond driller, so his gear is mega expensive. I suggested he electrify the skin of his van when it is parked outside his gaff. A 0.01amp buzz for the initial warning (painful, but not overtly dangerous), if the scum come back after, a 1amp (fatal) jolt to make sure they don't try again. It's a shame it would be illegal, but when the police refuse to do what we pay them for, people will end up taking matters into their own hands. This is how vigilantes are born.

[bazphoon]

As already said . They are the same internals as the tat on Amazon . Had 2 one for car one for tent box . Binned

[Boy]

Tool break- ins wouldn’t happen if unscrupulous tradesmen didn’t buy stolen tools. vicious circle

[steveanderson]

Wiring up the van to your electrical socket, 😂 may help ❤

[lucapuzzoli]

Bulgarers will fill these kinds of allarms with foam to stop the noise from the allarm.
I heard stories like that before in home alarm systems. That why they are placed quite high.

[scott]

Possible major flaw with this one.

You mentioned you can train the key fob to work with additional ones, not sure how that is done, however what's stopping someone getting one of these fobs and pairing it up with yours? You get the exact same fobs on other alarm systems we have one on our summer house in the back garden so they are easily obtained these fobs.

Again not sure how you pair the fobs up to additional alarms but I'm going to imagine this could be a major flaw with this system.

Just another point, these guys breaking into vans these day's couldn't give a toss if an alarm is going off, there's usually more than one and carrying machetes or other weapons so although I know I can handle myself I just wouldn't risk running out my house if I heard my alarm going off and there is 2-4 guys with visible weapons on show. Police don't get involved anymore but they would if you went out and hurt one of those scummy rats.

We aren't protected enough these days and if you dare take it into your own hands it's you that's in the s*it, absolute madness really is.

[LAW-fvys]

Unfortunately alarms are ignored by everyone because they are so frequently heard, thieves don't care about the noise, no one is going to confront a gang of em with weapons as they normally have for some tools, its not worth it. So this won't stop them at all just piss off your neighbours when it triggers accidentally or you forget to disarm and pull the handle and then stand there grabbing your remote to silence it. Sorry I'm just being realistic. And I have a van!!

[woodworks]

An alarm is good for you but its not going to stop them, theyll try another one, my preference would be flames like in south Africa or electrcution but as that may cause you some problems what about pepper spray with an alarm.
