Teltonika Group Acquires Security Systems Manufacturer
Advanced car alarm solutions built for real-world use
14 January 2026
Modern vehicles are more connected, more digital, and more complex than ever before. Yet when it comes to theft prevention, complexity does not automatically equal security. Across Europe, vehicle theft remains a persistent challenge – even in markets with advanced automotive technologies.
This is where Teltonika car alarm solutions deliver clear, tangible value: by complementing factory systems with dedicated, purpose-built protection designed specifically to stop theft, meet insurance requirements, and add everyday peace of mind.
As Aurimas Gutgalis, Product Portfolio Manager for car alarm systems at Teltonika Security Systems, explains:
“When there is a standard solution, there is always a standard way to bypass it. That’s why additional protection still matters – even for new cars.”
The Reality of Vehicle Security Today
Despite continuous improvements by vehicle manufacturers, factory-installed systems remain vulnerable. Thieves invest in specialised equipment designed to exploit predictable security architectures. The result is a situation where even high-value vehicles can be accessed and driven away in minutes.
Gutgalis highlights that this is not a local issue:
“If you look at the ratio of sold cars to stolen cars, it’s similar across Germany, France, Spain – even Western Europe still has this problem.”
For car owners, the consequences are not only financial. Many insurers now require additional anti-theft measures for higher-value vehicles. Without them, comprehensive cover (such as KASKO) may be limited or unavailable.
Value Beyond Theft Prevention – Three Key Drivers
Teltonika car alarm portfolio is built around three real-world drivers of customer value:
1.
Theft Prevention That Goes Beyond Factory Limits
Factory security is designed for mass production. Teltonika solutions add an independent security layer that works differently, making theft significantly more difficult and time-consuming.
“If a car leaves the factory ‘bare’, a skilled thief will always find a way. That’s why insurers ask for additional preventive measures.” says Aurimas Gutgalis.
2.
Insurance Compliance Made Simple
In many European markets, additional security is no longer optional for premium vehicles. Teltonika systems help owners meet insurer requirements without compromising vehicle usability.
3.
Everyday Comfort and Control
Security is no longer just about alarms and sirens. Modern drivers expect visibility, notifications, and control.
“People want to see where their car is, know if it’s locked, get a notification if something happens – all from one app,” says Aurimas Gutgalis.
A Clear, Tiered Security Portfolio
Teltonika offers a three-level car alarm portfolio, allowing partners and end customers to choose protection that matches both risk level and budget.
Immobiliser – Silent, Reliable Protection
The entry-level solution focuses on one essential task: preventing engine start without driver identification. Using a compact identification tag, the system allows the vehicle to start only when an authorised driver is present.
“You bring the tag – the car starts. You don’t bring it – the car doesn’t go anywhere. Simple and effective,” says Aurimas Gutgalis.
CAN Alarm System – Audible Deterrence with Smart Integration
Building on immobilisation, the CAN alarm system adds sirens and integrated sensors, reacting to forced entry, impact, or vehicle movement. The system communicates directly via the vehicle’s CAN bus, enabling seamless interaction with factory locking systems.
Integrated shock and tilt sensors provide additional protection against wheel theft and unauthorised lifting – common real-world threats.
GSM / GPS Alarm System – Connected Security with Full Visibility
The most advanced solution integrates GSM and GPS communication, transforming security into a connected experience. Users can monitor vehicle status, receive instant alerts, review trip history, and track the car in real time via a mobile app.
“You open the app and see if the car is locked, where it is, and what’s happening – live,” says Aurimas Gutgalis.
This solution supports multiple CAN and LIN connections, enabling deeper integration with modern vehicles and allowing remote commands such as locking, unlocking or remote engine start through the app where supported.
Built on Experience, Not Assumptions
Teltonika roots in vehicle protection go back to the 1990s. The decision to develop in-house solutions came from first-hand experience with unreliable imported products.
“We saw what happens when security systems fail. That’s when the decision was made to build something reliable ourselves,” says Aurimas Gutgalis.
Today, reliability remains a defining value for partners and installers:
“Installers know that once it’s installed, it will work for years without creating problems,” Aurimas Gutgalis adds.
Designed for Partners, Scalable for the Market
With support for more than 800 vehicle models, Teltonika enables partners to deploy solutions across diverse fleets and markets. When a new model appears, systems can be adapted through real-world data and remote configuration
“Partners can log vehicle data, send it to us, and we can adapt the system quickly,” says Aurimas Gutgalis.
This flexibility allows the portfolio to grow alongside the automotive market – without locking partners into rigid solutions.
Security That Evolves with the Industry
Looking ahead, Teltonika continues to invest in modernisation – from CAN-based immobiliser upgrades to future-ready communication technologies. Yet the philosophy remains unchanged: practical security, not unnecessary complexity.
“This market is conservative. Real value comes from reliability,” says Aurimas Gutgalis.
A Strong Value Proposition for a Changing Market
Teltonika car alarm solutions stand at the intersection of protection, compliance, and convenience. They do not replace factory systems – they strengthen them. For car owners, insurers, and partners alike, the value is clear:
Reduced theft risk
Insurance-ready protection
Reliable, long-term performance
Scalable solutions for modern vehicles
In a world where vehicle security threats continue to evolve, dedicated protection still matters – and Teltonika delivers it with purpose.
