Camry theft protection - how to resist car thieves?

The Toyota Camry of different generations has always been among the “leaders” in thefts, and the v70 car was no exception. This is due to the great popularity of this model in the secondary market; the loss in price every year is minimal. For car thieves, a car is also a tasty morsel, since the standard security system has serious vulnerabilities that allow theft to be carried out quite simply and quickly. That is why the cost of a CASCO policy for a Camry is so high.

The owner turned to our company to protect against theft and implement additional service functions, such as folding mirrors, automatic closing of windows, and remote engine start. The equipment was selected taking into account the wishes of the car owner and our recommendations.

How to protect a Toyota Camry from theft


According to statistics published by Caesar Satellite experts, Toyota Camry is the most stolen car brand.
Largely thanks to the reliability, comfort and efficiency of the car, which, despite the business class, is in no way inferior to premium class cars. Statistics on car thefts

It would be useful for car owners to learn how a Toyota Camry is stolen - this will help them protect themselves from theft by protecting the most vulnerable places.

Protect your Camry from theft - save your nerves and money!

It is especially necessary to protect the engine compartment, since this is where all the controls for the locks, immobilizer and siren are located. To do this, additional electromechanical hood locks are installed (on a Toyota Camry, preferably two locks in the corners), which automatically lock the hood when the car is in security mode. It is quite difficult to saw through locks due to the rotating stoppers, and attackers, as a rule, do not attempt to simply break them out due to economic inexpediency. Installing locks in the engine compartment is a creative task. They must be securely hidden and highly effective when triggered. In this matter, you must completely trust a professional.

Hood locks and locking on Camry

Protection of standard alarm systems.

The standard alarm unit is located on the right rear pillar of the car under the trim. An attacker just needs to break the rear door window or remove the rubber seal, dismantle the standard unit and replace it with a pre-prepared one. After this, the car is opened with the thief's key.

Our experts recommend protecting the Toyota Camry windows with armored film, preventing penetration into the car interior.

Car glass armoring (112 microns) LLumar from RUB 3,100. Price with installation

Protective films allow you to maximize the strength of car windows, protecting against sudden penetration and protecting against accidental cuts.

When using armored film, it will be extremely difficult for an attacker to break the glass, and an audible alarm from the shock sensor will sound.

Electromechanical locks are used to prevent doors from being broken into, which will cause a lot of trouble for the thief.

Security and service functions:

  1. Perimeter security (doors, hood, trunk), instant notification of the owner to a mobile phone in case of an alarm in the form of a call, SMS and push notifications
  2. Monitoring the position of the car in space with a built-in 3-level accelerometer, an alarm is triggered when you try to jack up the car in order to steal wheels or when loading it onto a tow truck
  3. Sound and light alarm to attract the attention of others
  4. Several effective engine locks
  5. Protection of the engine compartment from unauthorized access
  6. Protection against retransmission of the standard key by blocking the standard radio channel. At the same time, the function of keyless entry into the car is completely preserved.
  7. Additional authorization of the owner - mandatory entry of a secret code on the standard buttons to completely disable the security. Protects against theft of keys and tags
  8. Remote engine start is additional comfort not only in winter, but also in summer (remote start of the air conditioner).
  9. Automatic closing of windows and folding of mirrors when arming
  10. Convenient mobile application for monitoring the condition of the vehicle and managing security

Autostart

An alarm system with auto start on a Camry will not affect the car’s anti-theft resistance in any way, so you don’t have to deny yourself this comfort feature, without which operating a modern car is already unthinkable.

When installing an alarm system on a Toyota Camry, you do not need to leave the standard key or its duplicate in the cabin - the Pandora alarm system provides a delicate and safe software bypass of the standard immobilizer.

Protection against hacking of the standard steering lock.

The standard steering wheel lock is broken by disassembling the lock, or by drilling a hole in a certain place.

A mechanical steering lock is used for protection. A cuff is attached to the steering shaft; a pin is inserted into it, which rests against the car body, preventing the steering wheel from rotating and preventing towing.

We installed two Defen Time V5 hood locks and a Starline I95Lux immobilizer on the car

Hijacking rating: top 20

The top three foreign cars that attract criminals have not changed over the year. Hyundai Solaris

so far the first, although its popularity has decreased by 7.5%. Second Kia Rio

, on the contrary, added as much as 19%.
In absolute terms, they are almost equal: 1171 and 1161 cars, respectively. Considering that Rio has been selling better than Solaris for several years, in 2020 it will probably become the leader. Much to the chagrin of the owners. The third is the ever-popular Toyota Camry
, which has become 12% more stolen.
The fourth was the VAZ-2107
(777 cars and an increase of 2%), the fifth was
the VAZ-2106
(587 cars and a decrease of 12%).

Who's at risk

It would also be useful for car owners to know which Camrys are stolen the most . As statistics show, car thieves pay more attention to scones and “fiftys”, which also form the main segment of the secondary market. Since these cars are quite common, they are popular and in high demand among car enthusiasts.

Models in the 30s are not so popular, but as practice shows, they are stolen more often than most other Toyota cars.

How to secure a motorcycle?


Having purchased a new motorcycle, its owner should also carefully consider the means of protecting it from thefts.
Today there are many different options for anti-theft devices, ranging from the most primitive means to expensive innovative solutions.

So, let's look at the main ways to protect a motorcycle:

    Using an alarm - this method is the most standard and there are two options:
  • installation of a conventional alarm system equipped with a siren. It is an ineffective method of protection;
  • alarm with feedback. This device allows you to track the distance to the motorcycle. The downside is that it has a limited distance; it doesn’t catch further.
  • Fastening a motorcycle using a chain with a lock to a pole, column and other objects.
    It should be fastened exclusively to the frame of the motorcycle, otherwise, if you fasten it through the wheel, the attacker will simply remove it and take the motorcycle.
  • The use of an anti-theft shackle, which is fixed to the brake disc of a motorcycle and thereby blocks the wheels. As a rule, this type of lock is made of a very durable material that can withstand heavy loads.
  • Using covers with alarms, the mechanism of operation of this product is that when an attempt is made to remove the cover or damage, a siren automatically turns on, notifying the owner of a possible threat.
  • Protective stickers. This method involves sticking special stickers in several places containing a unique code, which later makes it possible to identify a stolen motorcycle.

How we are working

Our installation center has been specializing in car theft protection for many years. We develop an individual solution for each machine. At the same time, we start from these key points that, in our opinion, hijackers are guided by:

  1. Identification of a potential “victim”. The car owner cannot do anything here. Of course, you can often change routes, but the car of interest will be “grazed” right up to your place of residence. The cost of good cars is now prohibitive, and car thieves will gladly accept these “inconveniences.”
  2. Direct theft (
    it doesn’t matter whether it’s a Toyota or another car), concealment of the car. Alas, domestic statistics are bleak - if you do not find a car in the “sump” within the first 24 hours, you most likely will not be able to find it. It is very likely that the car will either be dismantled at the next disassembly site, or it will be stolen with ready-made documents.

We are sure that in order to protect a car, you need high-quality, multi-stage and competent protection against theft (Camry 70

or another car – it doesn’t matter).

In practice, three-stage protection works best: armoring the glass, installing electromechanical hood locks and installing a good alarm system with a crawler and a communication channel protected from interception. All other methods do not provide such a high level of reliability.

Stars without wheels

Public people are also not immune from troubles. Recently, several famous car owners have lost their “horses”.

  • In May of this year, Mikhail Filimonov, , had his Kia Rio car stolen straight from the service station. A day later, the car was involved in an accident. The kidnapper was soon detained.
  • Nikolai Solovyov , an actor at the Liteiny Theater in St. Petersburg, was stolen . The car was parked in the yard and sat motionless for two years. The car was later returned.
  • Last August, a Kia Sportage belonging to actor Dmitry Lysenkov (1) (“Major,” “Stalingrad”) disappeared in St. Petersburg.
  • Tennis player Marat Safin (2) parted with a newly purchased BMW-X5.
  • Andrei Gradov was left without a swallow - his Toyota Camry had just arrived from the car dealership. It was his workers that Gradov suspected of theft.
  • The lead singer of the group “Disco Accident” Alexey Serov specifically looked at the statistics before purchasing a Mercedes ML. The car was considered unpopular with car thieves. However, he had not been driving for even a couple of months when the car went to the left of the entrance.

    • Lexus IS 250 was made by actor Ivan Stebunov (4) : it was also taken from the parking lot near the house. The thieves broke the window, turned off the alarm and quietly drove away.
    • Sergei Svetlakov (5) and his ex-wife Yulia were deprived of their Mazda CX-7 car, which was left at their house on Rublyovka.
    • The wife of actor Dmitry Kharatyan, Marina Maiko, parked a Toyota Land Cruiser 200 at a store in Moscow on Nakhimovsky Prospekt. And when I came out, there was no car. The surveillance camera showed that the attacker stole the SUV in less than a minute. The loss was found in Ulyanovsk with broken serial numbers.

    • At one time, the Lenkom actors suffered greatly from attackers. In March 1994, the BMW-735 of Alexander Abdulov (6) was taken right from the entrance to the theater. Nikolai Karachentsov , Oleg Yankovsky were left without cars . Abdulov asked the president to protect artists against whom the criminal group was acting.

    Why are Toyotas stolen?

    There are several reasons for the popularity of the Toyota brand among car thieves. Cars are in stable demand. Even used models are priced in the high price range. Killing numbers or producing documents is a classic scheme used by attackers.

    At the same time, the cost of the equipment used for hacking immediately pays off. And after the first theft, thieves begin to make a 100% profit.

    The cost of original spare parts, including used ones, is not much different from new ones. Naturally, owners will give preference to used spare parts rather than purchasing licensed ones. This fact is also known to attackers.

    How to find out if a car is stolen

    More budget cars are much easier to steal. They immediately end up in disassembly, from where they are sold piece by piece to those in need.

    SELECTION AND INSTALLATION OF ANTI-THEFT SYSTEM ON TOYOTA CAMRY

    How to protect your Toyota Camry from theft? How to choose the right anti-theft system or car alarm for your car? These questions are more relevant now than ever.

    It’s no secret that absolutely any car, new or used, in good technical condition, as well as outright “junk,” are stolen.

    Some are stolen to order for subsequent alteration to suit other documents, while others are “sent” for “disassembly”, that is, to remove the most valuable spare parts from them.

    The thing is that the volume of the market for used spare parts is comparable to the turnover of new ones. The reason for this is obvious; the cost of a new car part is sometimes several times higher than a used one.

    Despite all the efforts of car owners to protect their cars from theft, they have been and continue to be stolen, and the huge selection of defense equipment does not provide complete and absolute protection.

    Selecting anti-theft systems based on the make or model of the car is not an easy task!

    Many technical methods have been developed to protect the Toyota Camry from theft, but not all are able to effectively resist it.

    Car theft is a widespread crime in Russia. Car thieves are equipped with state-of-the-art electronic devices for scanning car alarms, and use various tricks to steal vehicles. Professional car thiefs quickly learn about all the new anti-theft systems that have entered the market recently and immediately develop ways to bypass them.

    Therefore, it is better to entrust protection against car theft to professionals.

    Today, selecting, purchasing, and then installing an anti-theft system on a Toyota Camry is not difficult; just contact the Alarm Pro specialized service center and qualified personnel will help you select an anti-theft protection method that is ideal for your car.

    There are many car alarms, immobilizers and all kinds of other anti-theft systems on the Russian market. Our website presents car security systems that have proven themselves only on the positive side.

    Choosing an anti-theft system

    Having spent a significant amount on purchasing a car, do not skimp on expensive additional equipment. Cheap systems installed in a conveyor manner will not be able to provide the required level of security. Therefore, they cannot be considered an obstacle to thieves.

    When installing an anti-theft system on a Camry, our specialists each time use a special approach to secretly arrange the elements. This comes as a complete surprise to the kidnappers. In addition, the very principle used in the authoring system creates a problem for theft.
