Other Alarm Systems
Car Alarms
Car Alarm systems have become a hot subject in the last few years. With vehicle
crime on the increase, you need to be sure to pick the right car alarm for you.
Automotive car alarm systems are designed to protect your vehicle from theft and
intruders. Some car alarms are available with keyless entry, remote start and two-way
paging.
Perhaps the single biggest reason for the drop in thefts of newer cars in recent
years is the standard fitting of alarms and immobilisers to all new vehicles. Alarms
are an effective deterrent to both car theft and theft from your vehicle, and electronic
engine immobilisers are highly effective as they prevent the engine from actually
starting.
More than a quarter of all recorded crimes are car thefts or thefts from cars, such
as stereos and mobile cell phones. If your car is stolen or broken into, it could
mean weeks of expensive inconvenience and heartache.
Motorcycle Alarms
A combined alarm and immobiliser that is professionally fitted will deter would-be
thieves. Consider those that have an option for a pager or for sending text messages.
DIY systems are much cheaper, but far less effective and also don't attract insurance
discounts.
Some common features of motorcycle alarms are: 125dB siren, immobiliser, anti-hijack
function up to 1/4 mile, bike locating function, microwave cloak device protects
before they even touch, 2 way communication system keeping you aware and vibration
alert on pager fob.
Boat Alarms
As boats are extremely expensive commodities you will want to protect them from
theft and/or loss of expensive equipment. Theft can be avoided by installing a sophisticated
yet inexpensive boat alarm which uses mobile cell phone networks to monitor and
protect your boat and inform you if an intruder has entered the cabin. If fact this
particular technology is easily suited for a caravan or holiday home. In fact anywhere
that does not have a landline.
As mobile cell phone technology is increasingly more reliable and network coverage
much improved, these devices make an ideal mechanism to work together with a security
system where a telephone landline is not possible. GSM mobile cell phone technology
used on boats can monitor unauthorized entry 24 hrs a day, 365 days a year. The
good news is there will be no monthly monitoring or service fees, thus making this
method of security extremely cost effective. These systems can be programmed to
dial your own cell phone or home/office landline to notify that an intruder has
entered your boat, caravan or holiday home. The best boat alarms can automatically
dial up to 6 phone numbers within 60 seconds of being activated.
Typically, a good boat alarm will include a dialling control panel, two remote controllers,
a 120dB siren, a wireless PIR movement detector, antennae and a magnetic hatch/window/door
sensor. These systems can be purchased for as little as $400. Can you afford to
be without a alarm system on your expensive boat? With this modern, hi-tech equipment
will be able to leave your boat, caravan or holiday home in the confidence that
the system will be monitoring it in your absence.
Pool Alarm Systems
Swimming pool alarms should be included in any pool owner's safety program. Enjoy
your swim in piece of mind with an alarm system that will give you and your clients
the confidence to use your pool and leisure facilities knowing help can be quickly
on hand if required, for any reason.
Most pool alarms have a trigger button which, when pushed, activates both the external
siren and the internal transmitter. The transmitter then sends a pre-coded message
to a nearby pager(s) up to a distance of 250yds away to alert for help. Pool alarm
systems are often expandable to allow the addition of devices such as Passive Infrared
Detectors (PIR).
