There is a popular (though probably misquoted) saying that declares that nature \u2013 and, by extension, humanity – should either \u201cadapt or die\u201d.\u00a0 <\/span>Although this axiom was probably not intended to be taken literally, it does hold a certain amount of truth when it comes to security.\u00a0 <\/span>As technology has advanced to become more sophisticated<\/strong>, more futuristic, so also has crime.\u00a0 <\/span>It\u2019s almost as if criminals are using the very technology that we developed to keep them at bay, against us.\u00a0 <\/span>There\u2019s been a definite evolutionary trend in crime.\u00a0 <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The good news is that we\u2019re still ahead<\/strong>.\u00a0 <\/span>This blog post will look at how that staple of access automation \u2013 the remote control<\/strong> \u2013 has evolved to combat crime and how we are still on the winning side.<\/span><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

Dipswitch Days<\/span><\/u><\/b><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

Back when the world was young, dipswitch technology ruled with an iron fist.\u00a0 <\/span>Dipswitch-based devices were easy to use and configure and could be employed for a plethora of applications.\u00a0 <\/span>All that the user needed to do in order to synchronise a remote with a receiver was to set the little plastic switches in the same configuration on both devices and \u2013 hey presto! \u2013 the remote was programmed.<\/span><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

Now, it doesn\u2019t take a great stretch of the imagination to see why this system might be considered vulnerable.\u00a0 <\/span>With the ease of setup and use came glaring security flaws which could not be ignored, and so fixed code remotes saw the light.<\/span><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

Fixed Codes:\u00a0 <\/span>The Next Generation<\/span><\/u><\/b><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

The advent of fixed code remotes dramatically increased the security of remote control systems.\u00a0 <\/span>There were no visible switches that a mildly determined criminal might copy – all the coding took place safely within the airwaves.\u00a0 <\/span>For a while, it truly seemed that this was a system that crooks could not circumvent.\u00a0 <\/span>Criminals being criminals, they eventually devised a means of \u201ccode grabbing\u201d the transmissions and creating cloned remotes, thereby allowing them easy access into properties.<\/span><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

But once again, goodness prevailed and \u2013 in true comic book superhero style – a revolutionary new technology dealt the hoodlums of the world a crippling blow.<\/span><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

Rolling Code Technology:\u00a0 <\/span>The Final Frontier<\/span><\/u><\/b><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

Many of you reading this might be using CENTURION NOVA<\/a> remotes and know them as the robust little blue and grey transmitters.\u00a0 <\/span>What you may not know is that NOVA employs an ultra-secure encryption technology known as rolling code, or Keeloq\u2122<\/span> encryption<\/strong>.\u00a0 <\/span>This means that the code transmitted by the remote is always different to the previous one, with a possible 16 billion combinations<\/strong>.\u00a0 <\/span>In addition to this, it also passes through a sophisticated encryption engine<\/strong> which makes code-grabbing impossible.<\/span><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

So, dear citizens, rest easy knowing that \u2013 while we may not wear masks and capes like traditional superheroes \u2013 we\u2019re still looking out for you. \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
