Very sorry about that! That wasn't there when I uploaded it!! Think it came in when I had to change the music due to copyright issues. When I get a moment I l'll see if I can find a way to fix it. Thanks for flagging!
Personally I would add a crossbow to my car theft armory. Silent and deadly....also you don't want cctv to upload to the cloud if you slot a car thief or two. Good video
The council should do this for foot paths I notice Alot when I go on my bike there's quite a bit of cars parking on footpaths and no one cannot walk on there even its design for humans. Definitely the council should install these for public footpaths. Great 👍 System.
I think all you really need to put most car thieves off is having a decent steering wheel lock, it’s enough for most to think twice and move on, but the bollards are a good idea. I’d probably invest in electric though as it’s a pain having to manually lower snd raise every time you come and go.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts; I completely agree. The electric bollards are ideal, but very expensive by comparison and also need wiring directly to your DCU which isn't always straightforward. I'm always a bit worried about causing damage to the interior with the steering wheel locks, but it's certainly a more cost effective deterrent!
@@bigtoespud1389 You’re right about the cost of electric, some can set you back thousands compared to a few hundred for a manual one. There are also foot operated ones, I’m sure you did a thorough review before purchasing. Now you also have to worry about thieves trying to steal your Catalytic Converter, which I think has only really become a thing during Covid lockdown as a lot of them do it to feed drug habits. Previously they were shop lifting, but after lockdown and shops being closed they resorted to this.
Oh, it was totally over the top for a very save neighbourhood 😆 It mean I worried less though, especially if away from the house for an extended amount of time.
Better still don't have keyless door opening . Worse thing manufacturers ever did for car security. The lazy way to own a car and Christmas every day for car theives 🤔
😅 The house sold with no problem about a year ago and the buyers loved the extra security on the driveway. I'd sold the Aston by then and with the bollards down, it looks less of a fortress! If I was doing it again, I would use smaller bollards - these were a bit OTT!
I don't know how easily the keys can be replicated, but I do know I wouldn't want four different padlocks and sets of keys to be messing around with! If someone wants your car badly enough, they'll take it - probably with the threat of violence! This is a deterrent for all the opportunists and those looking for an easy car to steal.
Ha Ha... vandal proof camera... can of spray paint sorts that, or a good tap with a hammer !!!.. and as for an alarm that calls the police, they dont attend domestic alarms any more, that has been policy for around 20yrs.. they may look in if passing though.
How wpuld they have the car if you have steel bollards surround them? Fly up in the air? A theif would steal the car next door thats unprotected instead of wasting time
Listening to this with earphones. Got the fright of my life by sound at 0:47

@@bigtoespud1389 no worries
Imagine coming out in the morning and finding someone has stolen your Bollards

Great video, thanks!
Great video my man, I’m buying an M5 and I live in London so I’m trying to consider my options ahead of time!

Maybe they should, but who's going to pay for every pavement in the UK to have these fitted?
GREAT advice! Thanx for the vid!

Steering wheel lock is a deterrent wherever you go, bollards only useful when you’re parked at home
Are the locks good?
“Experts” on pistonheads say they can be opened with a pen lid?
Wow, is car theft really that big of a problem the UK ? Nice job though!
Yep, massive
In Canada I have 4 feet of snow at the end of my driveway, preventing anyone from stealing my car.
Great video What did it cost you?
Seems overkill. Switch neighborhood.

What car is under there? Back end looks slightly Aston Martin
DBS

👍🏾🍷Many thanks for sharing my brotha. Quick Q????… What was the total cost for this fully implemented installation????
This was done back in 2020. The driveway, including installation was about £5k. Plus the cost of the security posts which cost about £2k from Bison.
Excellent vidio
Many thanks Michael
Imagine spending money on your house that deters potential buyers. It looks like a Police station in Northern Ireland😂
😅 The house sold with no problem about a year ago and the buyers loved the extra security on the driveway. I'd sold the Aston by then and with the bollards down, it looks less of a fortress! If I was doing it again, I would use smaller bollards - these were a bit OTT!
am I the only one who thinks that these keys can be easily replicated? Feels like weak point. Better off with padlock bollards?
I don't know how easily the keys can be replicated, but I do know I wouldn't want four different padlocks and sets of keys to be messing around with!

Just need a kill switch in your car, acts like the battery is dead.
But pf overkill for a Mazda mr2
but its an Aston under the covers

Sadly, all true 😔
I just take the tires off my car every time I get home.
If you have a lot of snow/ice in the winter, I cannot see that they would be much use?
Great video. You are not messing about are ya. Great job. I would go one step further and get the tile app.
Thanks DEL, great shout on using a tracker for extra security and peace of mind.
Fantastic advice
Surely if they want the car they will have the car regardless of the posts if they have the keys for that as well?

Lol, telling about overpriced bollards with a dbs under covering…
I really should get round to making a video about the car! 😁
Hi thanks for the video. What camera set up ? Have you gt a link. thanks
