Forms of Car Security Systems Available Today

September 12th, 2011

Buying a car is one of the most expensive investments, coming a close second to buying a home or property. You invest so much into buying the car of your dreams that losing it could mean losing your all. How do you feel when you lose your mobile phone or laptop? Stressful and inconveniencing isn’t it… well when you lose your car you will not feel stressful and inconvenienced, you will feel double of that. This is because a car is not as cheap a buy as is a mobile phone or a laptop… we are talking of several thousands of dollars here.

It is because of the fact that car thieves have become very smart today that installing a car security system has become more of a necessity than a luxury. Installing a car security system is a necessity you are better off paying than having your precious investment or some valuable parts of it stolen. Traditionally, car security was about locking the steering wheel and it sure worked since car theft wasn’t as rampant as it is now, plus car thieves were not as smart as they are today.

One of the most popular car security systems is the audible car alert system which triggers a very loud ring that alerts the public at large that someone is trying to access or break into the car illegally. Although the sound could be annoying, these systems are very effective in keeping car thieves at bay. The private alarm system is the other form of car security system available today, and as the name would suggest, it is inaudible save for the fact that any unauthorized access to the car will alert the owner via a pager beep.

February 6th, 2011

According to the Bureau of Justice Statistics (www.ojp.usdoj.gov) over three quarters of all crimes in the U.S. are made up of property crimes and certainly automobile theft is among the most prevalent. Automobiles are easier targets than homes in many cases as they are high dollar items, in high demand, and can be driven away within seconds leaving behind virtually no clues as to the identity of the thief.

Although manufacturers have continued to provide basic automotive security features, additional measures are needed as thieves continue to adapt to devices on the market.

For first time buyers unfamiliar with the options, the decisions related to purchasing an automotive security system can be daunting. However, there are a core set of features that should be considered which will help consumers select an effective system with less frustration.

• An automotive security system should provide a first line of defense that warns would be intruders that a particular vehicle is protected. Some type of visual reminder such as a flashing light on the dash or stickers that indicate security are simple deterrents.

Car Security Tips

April 11th, 2010

Make sure your car is locked and your windows wound up.

This sounds ridiculously obvious but make sure you secure your car carefully wherever you are parked. Research shows loads of people leave their doors unlocked and/or their windows open a large proportion of the time.

Check all your entry points are secure – are all the doors locked, the trunk locked and the sunroof locked? If not a thief will be quick to take advantage of the opportunity.

Make sure your windows are wound all the way up. Even if you leave a small gap a thief can easily force it down to either access the door lock or break the window.

Keep your keys safe – even when you are at home.

Today with factory and after market alarms getting smarter it is becoming harder for a thief to quickly and easily hotwire your car. That has led to a surge in home break-ins purely so thieves can steal the car keys. Then they simply come back later and drive off with the car.

So, while you’re at home keep your keys safe. Don’t leave them in the car, in your handbag, or sitting on an entrance table or bench in the house. Secure them in a drawer or somewhere safe that is out of sight.

Don’t ever leave the keys in the car. Read more...

Automotive Security Systems

March 12th, 2010

When it comes to the security and protection of your car, sometimes there is no such thing as too much. There are various types of automotive security systems out there, each of them possessing their own good qualities and features. Finding the right one for your vehicle protection needs will take some time and research but like buying any product, it is worth it. Never buy the first security system that a salesperson throws at you. It’s a major investment that has to be perfect otherwise it’s just pointless.

The first thing that you must do is establish what type of security you need. A car that is older and has little value may not need the same kind of protection that a fancy new car will need. There is simply no sense paying for something that you don’t want or need. Look into the various types of alarm systems to see what fits for you. Price will play a big part in this too since a higher end system will have more features but will also cost more.

A basic alarm system is the audible type that sets off a loud alarm when the vehicle is tampered with. Sometimes that is all that it takes to scare off a would be thief. This type of system is great for those that just want a little extra protection without all of the additional features available. There are other systems that don’t make any noise at all. Instead they send you a quiet alert like a page or text message. Then you know something is up with your car. If you can’t get to it fast though this may not be a good choice. There are other systems that will immobilize your ignition so that the car itself cannot be stolen. This is quickly becoming a popular choice. Read more...

There are three main types of automotive security systems available. They all have both good and bad points to them, which is why you need to know what they are and what it is you need.

Instead they are quiet and send you a message or page to your cell phone. This can be dangerous because the criminal does not know the alarm is going off and you could risk catching him or her in the act. Read more...
