Today, vans are not just a means of transportation. For many entrepreneurs, they represent a mobile warehouse, workshop or work tool that transports the most valuable things every day – goods, tools or equipment.
That is why vans are an increasingly frequent target for thieves. A few seconds of inattention are enough and the damage can reach thousands of euros.
Modern security is therefore not a luxury, but a necessity. But how to choose the right alarm for a van? Let’s look at the differences between two solutions from the Pandora portfolio – Pandora PRIMO VAN and the more technologically advanced Pandora SMART PRO VAN system.
Why is van security specific?
Unlike passenger cars, vans have one fundamental specific feature – the cargo space. This is often the main target of thieves.
It is not just the vehicle itself, but especially its contents. Tools, materials or goods often represent a higher value than the van itself.
Thieves use various scenarios:
- quick entry into the cargo area
- towing the vehicle
- abuse of the keyless system
- manipulation of electronics
That is why systems for vans must be designed to protect not only the vehicle, but also its contents.
Pandora PRIMO VAN: Simple and effective solution
Pandora PRIMO VAN represents a reliable basis for securing a van.
The system uses Bluetooth communication and is supplemented with a wireless infrared motion detector that monitors the cargo area. This means that it can detect unauthorized movement inside the vehicle even before the cargo is stolen.
Its main advantages include:
- Protection against theft, towing or manipulation,
- detection of movement, tilt and shock (3D accelerometer)
- wireless vehicle locking
- simple control via Bluetooth application
- discreet installation without visible elements
PRIMO VAN is the ideal choice for those looking for reliable security without the need for online monitoring.
Pandora SMART PRO VAN: Maximum control and online surveillance
Pandora SMART PRO VAN takes delivery security to a whole new level.
In addition to all the basic functions, it also offers GPS localization, GSM communication and a full-fledged online mobile application. This means that you have your delivery under control anywhere and anytime.
The system is complemented by an advanced PIR sensor that can detect movement based on thermal radiation – an ideal solution for protecting the cargo area.
Key advantages:
- online GPS localization of the vehicle in real time
- instant notifications in case of intrusion (SMS, call, application)
- remote control of the vehicle via mobile phone
- detection of movement, tilt, shock and manipulation
- protection against jammers and keyless attacks
- possibility of remote start and heating control
- complete telemetry and driving history
SMART PRO VAN is ideal for companies and professionals who need to have the vehicle and cargo under constant control.
Main differences: PRIMO VAN vs. SMART PRO VAN
The biggest difference between these two systems lies in the level of connectivity and control.
Pandora PRIMO VAN
- it works primarily via Bluetooth
- it does not have GPS localization or online monitoring
- suitable for basic security
Pandora SMART PRO VAN
- it has a GPS and GSM module
- it allows online monitoring and control
- it provides detailed information about the vehicle in real time
However, both systems offer a high level of protection and special solutions for the cargo area.
Which system to choose?
Choosing the right alarm for a van mainly depends on the level of control and protection you need.
If you are looking for a simple, effective and affordable solution to secure your vehicle and cargo, Pandora PRIMO VAN will be a reliable choice.
However, if you want to have your van under constant surveillance, receive real-time notifications and have access to the location or status of the vehicle from anywhere, Pandora SMART PRO VAN is clearly a better choice.
Protecting your van means protecting your business
A van is often more than just a vehicle – it is the foundation of your business. The loss of a vehicle or cargo can mean not only financial losses but also work interruptions.
Proper security is therefore not only an investment in technology, but also in security.
