Best Vehicle Security Systems

Within the last decade, the amount of people who have purchased expensive car audio and video electronics increased astronomically. This fact and the fact that a vehicle is stolen every 26 seconds in the United States makes quite a frightening combination. For awhile, it seemed as if standard car alarms became the solution consumers needed to protect their investments.

However, standard car alarms became so common that they no longer attract attention or ward off potential thieves. In fact, according to the New York City Police Department, alarms masks real criminal activities because most people disregard car alarms as false alarms, incidental bumps, or caused by a large truck passing by.

The answer is 2-way car alarms. More and more brands are producing high quality 2-way pager security systems such as Autopage. The Autopage C3-RS727LCD features a remote start function as well as code-hopping capabilities. In addition, the included remote features a display that would notify users of any infractions occurring against the vehicle. The remote is also capable of a wide-array of programming from keyless door locking functions to even diesel warm up settings.

The system does feature the Turbo Timer feature but don't expect the range of the remote to be anything greater than ¼ of a mile. However, the system includes a dual stage shock sensor, cabin temperature sensor, and even a countdown timer for parking meters. This feature packed remote start and keyless entry security system is relatively reasonable in price at around $150 per unit. It's a great deal and will give you the peace of mind you desire when you park your car.

The 791XV by Viper could quite easily be the best selling keyless car alarm security system out there. Though it has been out on the market for a couple of years, it is still considered by many experts as a current model. This is due to the technology and the features that are implemented in the design of this system-a system that has set itself apart and created the standards for the market.

The Viper 791XV features a two way communications capability. The system's remote is capable of notifying the user of disturbances and the user is able to control the system from as far as ¼ of a mile away. It features great command functions such as keyless entry, remote start, starter kill, defroster activation, the coveted turbo timer capability, and of course panic mode with a 6 tone siren.

When you see the brand Viper, you know they mean security. With that in mind, Viper also features a code hopping system that makes it virtually impossible for thieves to steal your system's secure communication code and frequency.

The great thing about this unit is the highly informative remote control. It tells you virtually everything that is going on with your car. It has indicators for any disturbance as well as the security status of your car such as armed or disarmed. Your remote will even tell you when you're out of range to hear your own alarm.

For having so many features, the unit does not cost all that bad. The price includes the Viper car alarm brand, which is a reliable and well known company specializing in vehicle security for a long time. The price lies pretty much in the middle range of the market, rendering it for the most part, affordable for a highly dependable and fully featured unit.

The only negative aspect of this system is the small screen on the remote. It's hard to see under certain lighting conditions where there is strong glare. However, given the full capability of this 2-way security system, it's not a bad trade off.

If you are looking for a car security system packed with features like keyless remote car starter , the Viper 791XV is the system for you. Why settle for a standard car alarm system when you can have the peace of mind of a system that could tell you if there is a break in?
