Viper car alarms have set the standard of most car alarm systems. The hallmark model of the Viper car alarm system has some of the most advanced sensor systems found in the world. Perhaps the only contender would be the Clifford car alarm system.
Starting from the engine compartment, there are the following sensors installed. First, there is a well-designed fire alarm, which can differentiate from the heat of an actual fire and the heat of the engine. The main remote Viper car alarm receiver is installed here, elsewhere in the car a secondary receiver is located to preclude intentional disabling from thieves. The anti-movement devices, which are mercury level sensors, are located in sufficient numbers to detect when the car is lifted by cargo net or forklift. Furthermore, these are also located in the trunk or boot and in the actual doors of the vehicles. The remote starting device, consisting of several components, is located near the automobile's starter and within the engine compartment.
The cab or the passenger compartment of the vehicle has sonic detectors, which perform two sensory functions. They can distinguish the breaking of the windshield and door window glass or detect the presence of intruders. Other intrusion detection devices are air pressure sensors, which detect the changing pressure that occurs when the doors are opened. Infrared sensors can discern both movement and read the ambient temperature of the car. Any difference of temperature could indicate an unwanted entry. Entry into the car, through the door, is also sensed by the breaking of the contact circuits of the Viper car alarm. These are used on both the engine compartment and the trunk. The theft of tires is alerted from the motion detectors and by individual contact alarms on each tire. The alarm is controlled by a FM transceiver, which can alert the owner for some distance whenever there is a break-in. These new alarms can detect the nearness of a persons approach and give verbal warnings, chirps or full alarms when they approach too closely. These Viper car alarms require a computer to process all of the different sensor data in order to avoid false alarms. We all can remember when someone's car went off with multiple nerve-racking sirens whenever a heavy thunderstorm occurred. All of these sensors increase the protection of the automobile but are useless if there is no alarm system. Some car alarms have flashing and strobing lights, which are extremely painful if you are near them. The sounds that the alarm produces are loud, piercing and also hurts.
When you install a viper car alarm, make sure you pick the very best technician. This is a combination of three technical skills, those of mechanic, security specialist and computer technician. Remember, they are working on your automobile's electrical and ignition system. If they do not know what they are doing, you will soon have a non-operational car with a non-operational alarm system. This is one time that I would admonish all car owners to only frequent a bonded, recognized car alarm installation shop. Here is a last reminder, save that user manual. Remember to ask for it before you have the work done and afterwards. Do not leave the shop without it. When you are looking through page after page on the internet and frequenting garage sales with futility you will wish you had taken my advice!
