Abstract

A vehicle alarm device has a control unit, provided with a transponder presence detector, and a mobile transponder; the control unit is connected to the electric system of the vehicle and is provided with a means for the interruption of a service of the electric system when the transponder presence detector does not detect the presence of the transponder when the transponder is moved away from the control unit. The service interruption means blocks the central locking of the doors and of the hatch of the vehicle.

Claims

1. A vehicle security device for preventing theft of valuables inside a vehicle, said device comprising:

a control unit; and

a mobile transponder, said control unit comprising a transponder presence detector;

said control unit being connected to an electric system of a vehicle for interruption of service of said electric system when said transponder presence detector does not detect a presence of the transponder when said transponder is moved away from said control unit;

said control unit being configured to disconnect said central door locking circuit, or interrupt a power supply to said central door locking circuit, to thereby disable said central door locking circuit upon a failure of said transponder presence detector to sense the presence of said transponder,

further comprising a relay board connected to said control unit and comprising at least one connector having a same pitch and dimensions as fuse connectors that are normally present in a fuse box of said electric system of said vehicle.

2. The security device according to claim 1, further comprising a siren that is activated by said control unit in case of attempted unauthorized use of the vehicle.

3. The security device according to claim 1, further comprising a state indicator constituted by a pilot light.

4. The alarm device according to claim 1, further comprising a GSM telephone GPS locator.

5. The security device according to claim 1, further comprising an auxiliary power source that is independent of said electric system of said vehicle.

6. The security device according to claim 1, wherein said interruption of service entails engine cutoff.

7. The security device according to claim 1, further comprising ultrasonic sensors.

8. The security device according to claim 1, further comprising a GPS antenna.
