How many hopes do car owners place on alarm systems: to guard, and notify, and perhaps not to drive the car itself. Modern security systems can do more than just open and close doors. This is a small on-board computer that carries a huge number of functions, not forgetting the most important thing - protecting your car.
Signaling the future
Is it really possible to do without a car alarm and how can it be replaced? You can, of course, do without, but first you need to understand why it is needed at all. Modern generation car security systems perform more than just anti-theft functions. With the help of the alarm, you can find out the weather outside, start the car from anywhere in the world by phone, or track its movement on-line over the Internet. You can even listen to what is happening in the cabin of your car if you are not there! Car alarm today is a comfortable vehicle tracking system with functions that make the driver's life much easier.
Feedback alarms that have proven themselves well in operation include Starline A91, Pandora DXL 5000.
Not a single sound
Today it is not at all necessary for the machine to “scream” every time there is some kind of outside interference. You can configure the function in which a report on all system alerts will be sent to your phone in the form of sms messages. And in this case, you can safely turn off the siren, it is not needed at all. If you do not want to turn off the sound, install a special lock on the hood that will not allow you to open it and turn off or break the screaming siren. It takes just a few seconds for the hijackers. However, this opportunity is used by a minority of car owners. Many people, out of habit, find it more convenient to know that something is happening precisely by the sound response of the system. It seems to them that this is more likely to scare off hijackers and petty thieves. Although experienced burglars determine the presence of an alarm on a car from a half-glance - it is enough to see if there is an LED in the cabin. And by the LED indication, you can even find out in which mode the security system is operating.
Hood locks are mechanical, and there are electrical. With all the convenience of the latter, they are not popular. Due to the cold climate, the car may not start, and access to the battery is blocked.
Unauthorized entry is prohibited
And yet, in some situations, an audible alert is necessary. For example, a shock sensor, which does not immediately start “screaming”, but only a couple of times warning “croaks”, will drive the boys with a soccer ball away from your car. And the installed volume sensor is triggered if an uninvited guest enters the scanning area. And the warning signal will not allow a stranger to see what is in the car.
