Cheap vs. Expensive Anti-Theft Products
**The Reality of Car Alarms: A Deterrent or a False Sense of Security?**
As we explore the world of car alarms, it's essential to understand their limitations and potential flaws. A recent demonstration by Richard showcased a car alarm system that claims to be a robust deterrent against theft. However, our team decided to put this system to the test, and the results were surprising.
**The System in Question**
The system, called Keep Car Alarm 4G LTE Anchoring Anti-theft and Break into DET Turn GPS Motion Sensing Per Flash Radar with 120 DB Sound and Flashing Bright LED, is a camera that can be installed in the car's cup holder. It promises to capture evidence of any attempted theft and send it to the owner's phone.
**Testing the System**
We started by testing the system's ability to capture footage of an individual attempting to steal the car. The results were mixed, with some footage being captured but not sent to the phone. This suggests that the system may not be reliable in its ability to provide evidence of theft.
**The Easy-to-Install and Easy-to-Disable Flaw**
As Richard pointed out earlier, many car alarms are designed to be user-friendly, which also means they can be easily disabled by thieves. Our team was able to demonstrate this flaw by disabling the system with ease, highlighting a potential weakness in its design.
**A Fatal Flaw?**
Our test revealed that the system has a fatal flaw - it does not transfer video footage when disconnected from the OBD2 port. This means that even if the car is stolen, the owner may not receive any evidence of the theft.
**Conclusion**
The demonstration and testing of this car alarm system have shown that it may not be as effective as claimed in preventing theft. Its flaws and weaknesses make it a false sense of security for car owners. While it's an interesting product, it's not worth the investment of $300, especially considering the potential risks of theft.

WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enwe're installing cheap ver expensive anti-st products on our car from this $40 Club to this $700 immobilizer spending a bunch of money really going to protect your car more today we are going to install a plethora of anti- theft products starting with this Ready set go all right we bought cheap and expensive versions of the same anti- theft product we're breaking into them to see if determined thieves can beat all of these devices on our list we also have an anti- theft expert and explain the pitfalls of each of these devices my name is Richard bik I'm the owner of California Arizona revelo we've been in business for 20 years preventing vehicles from being stolen drilled a hole completely through it nothing yet so I guess I going to drill another hole so this is a $40 what do they call these things they called the club it's the general term the club is actually a trademark name by the original inventor of it out of all devices we have today on our list this is the one that I've probably seen the most with any of these devices what the thief is going to look for is what's the weak points on it and a weak point on any lock is going to be this area right here where the keys go into drilling that out is usually going to be your best bet for trying to get by yeah 238 hey that's under 3 to 5 minutes under 3 to 5 minutes you know what I would steal a van like this just so I could go steal motorcycles oh damn dude stealing squared so This Is 40 bucks if you want a little bit more protection you can spend a lot more money wow for $270 we got the disc lock which is huge massive like a big Pac-Man yeah if I had this on my daily car this would be annoy You' be yolked yeah also if I'm a thief I'm thinking what's under that steering wheel lock so I assume that this weakness in this will also be the drill well yeah I mean anything that has a spring in it pretty obvious always inspires confidence with me was that sarcasm that's sarcasm yeah I have that sometime all right let's see if that $270 lock does any better against a drill all right we're locked in I need to get a better position but why is that keeping you from driving yeah I don't know I feel like you could just turned oh but you can turn a whole on dude look how far you can turn we don't even need to drill into it the thought is it'll turn around the steering wheel but you can just grab it from the back grab from the back and turn do you want me to drill into it no dumb all right 0 seconds all right on to the next one oh like butter just do this big thanks to Subaru for sponsoring today's video oh this is the 2024 Subaru cross Trek Wilderness and when they said this was the more off-road one they weren't kidding this thing's got 9.3 in of ground clearance it's got skid play and a matte black hood graphic to eliminate glare when you're tearing up the trails like me the cross strike Wilderness comes with 17-in matte black alloy wheels and alterrain Yokohama GE Ander tires this thing's got revised gearing and 182 horsepower from a 2.5 L Subaru boxer engine and on the way down use dual function X mode with Hill descent control to get optimal Traction in snow and mud this thing is sick dude like me this tough looking body was built to do more than just turn heads subar redesigned the bumpers for added Rock protection and the roof rails to handle up to 700 lb of static load and when you need to bring even more stuff the Wilderness has a towing capacity of up to 3500 lb inside its rugged exterior you'll find over 120 cubic feet of total interior space like other cross trcks the Wilderness is packed with great Tech like the 11.6 in touchscreen Subaru starlink multimedia a wireless charging spot and of course the impressive safety features of Subaru I it driver Assist Technology so who is the 2024 Subaru crossr Wilderness 4 well it's for someone who makes Adventure a priority yeah it's a quiet drive on the highway but the Wilderness was built to go off-road and when it gets there it's good at it to learn more just click the link below here we have a $30 seat belt lock fluffy steering wheel lock seat belt Universal anti- theft car device goes around your steering wheel clicks into your seat Bel belt and then there's a lock on top that doesn't allow you to unclick it from your belt I think this is like a smart idea because I don't know if you guys know this but a seat Bel is one of the most solid points in a car I think this is going to fall into the same category as some of the other stuff where you a good pair of bolt cutters takes it right off three two one go right actually yeah get some leverage in there get some leverage leverage oh man okay y dude damn stop 7 Seconds wow that was quick you might as well not even have it so this is 30 bucks let's see what $100 gets you oh jeez Henry Jesus Christ the bunker baton with an eight it's anchored to the seat high security anti- drill lock cylinder so you screw that under the seat and then you just C this on the so this thing twists off and there's a bolt in here it is by far the thickest cable we've had I don't think bolt cutters could get through that you're not going to go through this you're going to go through the thin section here again they're going after weak points and this is a lot thinner than that so that might be what they're going after so I'm going to just see if a saww can cut through it go okay oh like butter it is pretty loud too it is loud isn't it 36.3 4 seconds that's loud I think I'd be chasing you now but I feel like if someone was stealing my car with like a sawall my neighbors wouldn't like do anything well dude think about guys stealing catalytic converters they make a ton of noise and it's like 20ish seconds this is not worth a 100 bucks save your money buy some Fitness classes so you can run after your car when it gets stolen next up we got a clutch pedal lock this is another tevy Universal steering wheel brake clutch pedal lock for car truck as it's definitely not as heavy oh W you hook that underneath the pedal clutch break dude all of these are so nerdy I'd rather have my car stolen than look like a dork using this thing so this is $45 see what $165 worth of w and we didn't toss this one god dude this looks very industrial this looks like something that you put on a like tractor on the side of the road what is the weak point of this guy you know again it's everything mechanical is going to have the weak point right they're basically using the same lock as the other ones so when you figure out how easy that is to drill yeah that's kind of what I would be going for and let's just address the elephant in the room I'm sure a number of you have already commented this we've installed a number of these things that rely on the steering wheel and uh thieves don't care about your steering wheel so let's get these things installed and show you what they would probably do okay so we have our $45 and our $165 pedal lock here to the steering wheel if I'm a thief I don't care about this steering wheel here we go ready yep 3 2 1 wa that was fast that was super fast that was 4 seconds okay so that one's 9 seconds 9 seconds get that out of here yeah okay and then I'm just going to do another cut on the other side it's too wide it's too wide strength man all right 1 minute 12 seconds dude this is sick now we got actually prefer it like that this is a much better wheel I do want to flag that this is a knockoff nardy steering wheel and it is more than 90% Pham I could have done this in three Cuts Center boom boom that took 9 seconds that took 9 seconds this took like 5 Seconds to cut through so theoretically we probably could have gotten both of these off in less than 30 seconds yeah now that we know what we're do we can do this much faster and that's the case with most of these steering wheel locks the thief can just cut the wheel uh so if you're trying to use that to protect your car go with a different option let's bump up the technology a little bit let's jump into the future in some Blade Runner type crap at the end of the day you're trying to keep a thief from starting your car and driving it away once they start it and drive it away boom so we got some products that will keep them from starting it I'm confus Google show me this guy's balls starting with a DIY car immobilizer that we got for $35 from Amazon this thing looks like you got it at Radio Shack this Chadwick it works on a car and a motorcycle comes with two remotes those are cool so what's the idea here is that you you plug it into the fuel pump fuse if you don't have to do anything you just walk away from the car it turns your fuel pump off better than having like a kill switch you have to physically touch every single time it allows your car to run for 15 seconds and then after that the fuel pressure will drop in the car the big weakness is this is you know one of the first place the thief is going to look is in the fuse boxes you know they're going to be underneath the dash they pop the cover they see this thing stuck in it's like oh well this is hard to defeat you just unplug that and plug another fuse in its place so we have a couple of kill switches installed in some cars and we're going to give someone who doesn't know where they are 15 minutes to see if they can crack into it and find it so we actually didn't have to test this out at the office because luckily for this video someone actually tried to steal my car last night after filming the video I got broken into but the guys couldn't find the kill switch they ripped the steering column apart tried to start the ignition with some pliers but the kill switch for just a couple of bucks was a successful deterrent now my battery's dead and my steering column's all damaged but hey I still got my car so thumbs up for a kill switch and the thieves you which is where the Revel Co comes in I'm already on board because it's the smallest piece I have no idea how this works what happens with the revelo is we've got a base unit that's installed in the vehicle and then the female side of this is installed under the dash whenever you get in the vehicle the plug goes in and you start the vehicle up whenever you leave the vehicle you turn it off and remove the plug all right James so we have our revelo installed in the merch van so the process would be like this I have it on my keychain I then plug this in that completes the circuit I then can start the car take the plug out something is not connecting what we're doing is we're protecting our wires under the dash will steel conduit so the theves can't get access to our wires but apparently the internet says you can beat this with a potato you just smash it in there and it makes all the connections and then the car is like oh that's good that's just like this thing but it's a potato you've got to be pretty much as smart as a potato the thing that's going to work so the idea is that you can use a potato and it'll get into all the holes and close the circuit this isn't movie Magic I just cut this potato okay also I don't have the key for the things you act like I'm not trying really hard also I just gushed it all in there didn't work should I put more gush in there I don't want to keep smashing food in this toll no not doing it Henry now let's stick this in here all right yeah the potato would not work physically a potato won't fill all those tiny holes like I get theoretically why you would think shoving a potato in there but in practice it doesn't work right so solid Theory but debunked the revelo rain Supreme and it'll live there forever now grows mold from all the potato right it's going to live there until we lose the top of it so what if thieves do get your car and you got to track it down like Liam niss I will look for you I will find you for $1 I can tell you I don't have money you can skip the GPS all together and just tell people that you have it for an additional $4 you can get this $5 GPS tracker uh this has a SIM card in it it runs on 2G 2G making all the birds illiterate so we're going to see if this 2G card that we ordered works lighten up it's getting really hot you're not going to protect your car for five bucks I mean we know this let's see what $150 gets you so this thing yeah will stay charged for 3 years but it only pings once a day until recovery mode which isn't until 1:00 p.m. so we can't really test this till wait what what why is everything so weird what yeah the biggest challenge with tracking devices is once they seal your car they've got so much time before they find it right and you call the police to say my car is there and this guy's backyard they're not going to go get it I'm not going to risk my pension I'm not going to risk my life going to get your car and it's like risking the lives of like everyone in the house I think this is like a thing that does what it advertises that will last a long time so like yeah put it in something it'll help in addition to like an immobilizer device might be like yeah yeah a big that does what it advertises all right we were going to show you uh how this thing worked but it only checks in once a day and the retrieval mode is already over since we started shooting very small window of finding your stuff on this thing yeah not great so save your money right sometimes you can't deter a thief but you know what you can do you can't capture their face put it out there on the internet for the world to see and shame them because the police aren't going to do anything so you get to have video of guys driving off with your car is that the idea first up we got the 70 my dash cam is 33 bucks wow lot heavy for $33 1296p that's better than 1080p powered on right now pull it out uh it's still it's still got the abnormal time detected what does that even mean abnormal time detected hey are you having a weird time does the app have to be on for it to be recording yeah you have to be connected to it via WiFi and looking on it God this so many problems with this thing so it records to the camera but if I'm a thief and I see this I just rip this out this is going to get stolen with the car all right so we've gotten into your car and if you're looking at your phone right now in your house then you can see our faces but that's only if you are looking at your phone while in your house because this thing records to the camera but not to your phone so you have to be actively watching it uh also we can just do this and then take it with us there goes the evidence there goes the evidence don't waste your money so that's 33 bucks let's see what we can get for $300 oh yeah dude all right so this is keep Car Alarm 4G LTE anchoring anti- theft and break into DET turn GPS motion sensing per flash radar with 120 DB sound and flashing bright LED dude it's a camera that you put in your cup holder this is so goofy dude this is the worst present you could possibly give someone oh oh my God and it comes with so much trash but it is 24/7 like a ring camera it'll send it to your it'll take a photo of someone looking so that's not so bad and that's the whole point with car alarms too right they designed them to be easy to install and in the process of doing that every Thief knows exactly how to get byy them uh it's powered off your OBD2 port so let's plug that in put that in your cup holder that looks completely normal nothing to see here now it's green means uh it's connected to our phone we have a little key fob when the fob is away from this the camera can play I'm walking away 30 ft all right this should be far enough yeah all right preparing to arm this is going to simulate my keys I'm in the office I'm just going to leave it right here now let's be a bunch of crooks going up to steal some stuff in the taco MH MH wa jeez Louise are you kidding me it is really loud right here well it went up that's how loud it gets just if you approach the car okay it works it is loud okay that was a pretty decent deterrent the alarm is super loud but here's the thing criminals don't care about alarms I'm going to show you how easy it is if I were a thief to shut this thing off okay all right doing a little Jimmy here get in you could have a ski mask on here it might get a pretty good view of it but once I pull the power I don't get to listen to that annoying squawk and you're not going to see me no more now let's see if it even captured my face cuz I pulled it out Midway yes transferring video okay all right let's see how's it transferring yeah yeah was dead is dead we might have found a fatal a fatal flaw that really locks in what Richard was saying earlier a lot of these things are designed to be user friendly and user friendly also means Thief friendly if it's easy to install it's easy to disarm and uh thieves practice disarming stuff all the time it's their job yeah yeah no way not transferring not doing nothing $300 keep that money in your wallet do not spend it on this this thing's not worth it okay so told Richard that I wasn't going to try to bypass his system but he left so I thought hey why not see if I can test some continuity here probe around so I probed around and then I try to jumper those pins with a close pin that got H blue you saw the smoke shocked him got me it was bright red God burned a my finger see that see it hurt my finger there was smoke it got bright red just like Richard told us there was going to be yes he did say you're probably jumper the wrong wires don't do this Richard you made a good product I'm sorry I lied and triy to try to beat it thanks for watching this video not spons not sponsored and we paid him to come

time does the app have to be on for it to be recording yeah you have to be connected to it via WiFi and looking on it God this so many problems with this thing so it records to the camera but if I'm a thief and I see this I just rip this out this is going to get stolen with the car all right so we've gotten into your car and if you're looking at your phone right now in your house then you can see our faces but that's only if you are looking at your phone while in your house because this thing records to the camera but not to your phone so you have to be actively watching it uh also we can just do this and then take it with us there goes the evidence there goes the evidence don't waste your money so that's 33 bucks let's see what we can get for $300 oh yeah dude all right so this is keep Car Alarm 4G LTE anchoring anti- theft and break into DET turn GPS motion sensing per flash radar with 120 DB sound and flashing bright LED dude it's a camera that you put in your cup holder this is so goofy dude this is the worst present you could possibly give someone oh oh my God and it comes with so much trash but it is 24/7 like a ring camera it'll send it to your it'll take a photo of someone looking so that's not so bad and that's the whole point with car alarms too right they designed them to be easy to install and in the process of doing that every Thief knows exactly how to get byy them uh it's powered off your OBD2 port so let's plug that in put that in your cup holder that looks completely normal nothing to see here now it's green means uh it's connected to our phone we have a little key fob when the fob is away from this the camera can play I'm walking away 30 ft all right this should be far enough yeah all right preparing to arm this is going to simulate my keys I'm in the office I'm just going to leave it right here now let's be a bunch of crooks going up to steal some stuff in the taco MH MH wa jeez Louise are you kidding me it is really loud right here well it went up that's how loud it gets just if you approach the car okay it works it is loud okay that was a pretty decent deterrent the alarm is super loud but here's the thing criminals don't care about alarms I'm going to show you how easy it is if I were a thief to shut this thing off okay all right doing a little Jimmy here get in you could have a ski mask on here it might get a pretty good view of it but once I pull the power I don't get to listen to that annoying squawk and you're not going to see me no more now let's see if it even captured my face cuz I pulled it out Midway yes transferring video okay all right let's see how's it transferring yeah yeah was dead is dead we might have found a fatal a fatal flaw that really locks in what Richard was saying earlier a lot of these things are designed to be user friendly and user friendly also means Thief friendly if it's easy to install it's easy to disarm and uh thieves practice disarming stuff all the time it's their job yeah yeah no way not transferring not doing nothing $300 keep that money in your wallet do not spend it on this this thing's not worth it okay so told Richard that I wasn't going to try to bypass his system but he left so I thought hey why not see if I can test some continuity here probe around so I probed around and then I try to jumper those pins with a close pin that got H blue you saw the smoke shocked him got me it was bright red God burned a my finger see that see it hurt my finger there was smoke it got bright red just like Richard told us there was going to be yes he did say you're probably jumper the wrong wires don't do this Richard you made a good product I'm sorry I lied and triy to try to beat it thanks for watching this video not spons not sponsored and we paid him to come
