Buying Automated Car Alarms

What should you look for when you’re buying a car alarm with automated features? The answer depends on the type of features that you want and how much you’re willing to spend to have them. Car alarms with automated features have been developed to help reduce the number of car robberies. In the past a simple siren type car alarm was enough to scare off car thieves, but for the most part this type of alarm can be easily disabled by any car thief with experience. Once the siren sound of the alarm is disabled there is no other feature that will prevent the thief from driving away in your car.

The automated features of car alarms are quite diverse; individual sensor activated design models will send the driver of a vehicle an alert when a specific area of the car has been violated, for instance if a window is broken. There are other car alarms with the automated feature of notification and response; where the alarm system dials a predetermined telephone number with a specific code that the driver must enter that will either incapacitate the vehicle or notify the authorities.

Car Alarm Systems

In the United States alone, a car is either stolen or broken into every 20 seconds. It is therefore not surprising that car alarm system manufacturers are constantly finding ways to improve the theft deterrence abilities of their products. But while it’s amazing how car alarm systems have evolved form their simplest beginnings, it’s even more amazing how car thieves still manage to get around them. Are car alarm systems really too simple to provide any protection?

Basic car alarm systems work by using simple circuitry technology – if someone forces the car door open, the circuit is closed and a siren sounds off. More sophisticated car alarms have added more sensors to capture every possible threat by being more sensitive to light vibrations or pressures. Shock sensors cause the alarm to go off when someone or something hits or moves the vehicle. The alarm will go off in patterns dependent on how strong the shock is – the sounds go anywhere from a short beeping sound to a very loud, nonstop alarm. Because shock sensors are very sensitive to any movement in and around the car, it often goes off accidentally; when someone leans on your car while waiting for a cab, for example, or when a huge truck passes by and causes the ground on which your car is parked to vibrate.
