This enables fleets to respond quickly to prevent loss of valuable products while preventing the loss of perishable items and unforeseen deliveries. There are many kinds of door sensors, such as pull-apart, recessed, and door-mounted. Each type of sensor has its own advantages and benefits. All door sensors use the same basic design in order to determine if the door to the cargo has been opened or closed. The environment and location in which the sensor was placed will have an effect on the performance of the sensor. For example the presence of direct sunlight or heat sources may limit a sensor's range and accuracy. Also, an ambient noise level may interfere with the ability of a sensor detect motion. It is essential to clean and inspect your door sensors regularly for the best performance. The accumulation of dust and debris could interfere with the magnetic pull that connects the two blades of a reed switch, preventing it from triggering. To prevent this from happening, be sure to wipe down the sensor after every use.

They can then be improved by implementing measures like additional lighting, cameras and security doors. Alarms Thefts pose a danger to any driver, but are particularly problematic for van owners.
