What Car Alarm Reviews Tell Us
Car alarm reviews indicate that most people are pleased with their purchases, unless they failed to do some comparative shopping, before they decided which unit to buy.
In order to help ensure that you are satisfied, here's a brief buyer's guide. The considerations below should help you make a satisfactory decision.
The first thing to consider is what will trigger the siren. Some systems are triggered when the door is opened. Others are attached to the car's dome light. When the light comes on, the alarms go off, unless the system is disengaged.
The dome light systems are harder for thieves to disengage. Many have become adept at disengaging the door sensor, but in order to disengage those attached to the dome light, they would need to get inside of the car. That means that the siren will continue to go off for as long as it takes them to disengage the sensor. That should be long enough to attract attention from someone.
Systems with a computer interface provide the greatest flexibility. By interacting with your car's onboard computer, it can sound an alarm, flash the headlights or blow the car's horn. It can be programmed to go off if the door, trunk or hood is opened.
Computer interface systems are more expensive according to car alarm reviews and they don't work with older vehicles. For a valuable antique, a professionally installed system is probably the best choice.
New systems for new vehicles often include unique options. For example, you may be able to start your car remotely, a big advantage on a cold day.
Backup sensors are an option that provide improved safety and help protect your car from damage. Some insurance companies offer discounts for certain vehicles if they have backup sensors. In large trucks and panel vans, they should be a requirement.
These alarm reviews tell us that most people want a panic button. Luckily, most systems include them. A panic button is designed to help ensure your safety. If you are approaching your vehicle and find that someone is following you, you can hit the panic button. Your car's alarm will sound and that will often scare off a would-be attacker.
Some of the latest systems work with GPS tracking to disable a vehicle if you find that it has already been stolen. With this kind of plan, you call a phone number and report that your vehicle has been stolen. The provider locates the car and interacts with its electronic system to stop the thief from getting away.
There would be more positive car alarm reviews if people just took a little more time to compare what's available. Now, you can do that.
