For example, some systems keep a record of who entered and when, which is a big help in preventing criminal activity. Security measures can also be included by using encrypted keys, which make it harder to copy.

Button cells are the most common type of battery used in key fobs. These batteries are available in a variety of places, including general stores, home improvement centers, and auto parts stores.
