Auto Security Systems, also known as car alarm systems, are installed in vehicles in an attempt to discourage theft of the vehicle itself and/or its contents. Car alarms work by sensing a break-in and emitting high-volume sounds via a siren or horn and flashing vehicle's lights. Some systems may also notify the car's owner of the incident via a paging feature. Car alarms may be paired with a vehicle immobilization devices that prevent vehicle from starting.
Car alarms should not be confused with the passive immobilizer systems that are becoming standard equipment on many newer vehicles. Although the purpose of both systems may be similar, to deter vehicle theft, they operate in different ways. Mainly, an immobilizer system, while preventing engine from starting, will not offer any audible or visual theft deterrence offered by a car alarm system.
Modern car alarm systems have far more features than ever before, including the ability to lock, unlock, and start your car from anywhere in the world via a smartphone app.
If you want to protect your car or truck from break-ins and car thieves, a professionally installed car alarm is the best way to do it.
