Robot mowers can be stolen just like any other valuable item. Since robot mowers can be expensive, they could be targeted by thieves who are looking to resell them or use them for their own purposes. However, there are a number of extremely clever security features which make it very difficult for anyone to just pick it up and take it.
Firstly, if the robot mower is stopped, lifted or moved, an instant push notification is sent to your phone.
Secondly the robot mower has PIN code which you can customise, rendering it useless without the PIN code.
In the case that the mower is lifted and carried away, without the PIN code being entered, the alarm will go off, sending another notification to your phone and deterring anyone nearby. It is very loud!
Most mowers use GPS which is used for security and tracking, meaning that the mower can be tracked anywhere. Therefore if a robot mower was taken, you would be able to see on the app where the mower is on a map.
It’s a good idea to take some precautions too. For example, you can:
Keep your robot mower in a locked shed or garage when it’s not in use.
Enable push notifications to your phone so that any messages from the app appear on your phone in real time.
Keep the robot mower out of sight when it’s not in use, so that potential thieves are less likely to notice it.
Position the charging station neatly tucked away in a bed, out of view from a main road.
Taking these measures can help to deter thieves and make it more difficult for them to steal your robot mower.
All of the above security features and measures make it as secure as possible and very difficult to steal. In fact it could be a deterrent and stop any would be thieves in their tracks, alarming the owner or neighbours of their presence.
