Car Alarms System

For anyone interested in having a car of his/her own, it is important to know the risks in owning such luxury. There are many car thieves out there. A future car owner must be prudent enough to know about how his/her car can be protected from these unscrupulous individuals.
Car alarms are categorized into four: the remote car alarm, the manual alarm, the 2-way alarm, and the pagers.

A remote car alarm system enables the owner to start his car from within his house with the use of a remote control. This provides the owner with visuals and audible feedback about what is happening to the car. There are newer developments of car alarm remote controls that have 2-way systems and 2-way LCD displays.

Remote start alarms for cars have increasingly become a trendy choice when it comes to high-technology car alarms. A remote car start alarm allows the owner to turn on the car’s ignition with the use of a handheld remote. This feature will already warm up the car even before its owner reaches it.

Manual alarms come in active and passive activation method. In a passive alarm, the vehicle enters an armed state right after the ignition is turned off and until the closing of the last door. The active alarms, on the other hand, require that the transmitter button be pressed to activate or deactivate the system. Setting the alarm in a passive mode will give the owner a discount on his/her insurance. These alarm systems can be configured to either active or passive arming.

A 2-way car alarm system gives the owner an overview of the car’s condition from a long distance. It has an LCD remote control that lights up or vibrates when a break-in is happening in the owner’s vehicle. Some 2-way car alarm system brands feature unique capabilities such as remote headlight start.

Some can also activate headlights remotely. A 2-way car alarm system has dual sensors that warn the owner when a person approaches the vehicle. It also has digitalized tilt sensors that will know if the car is being lifted.

A car alarm pager beeps and displays warnings when the vehicle is being tampered. It will display icons that show the owner the different points of entry in the vehicle. Its control module even has a feature for a built-in aerial view of the car.

Other car alarm systems available in the market today have very savvy features that include auto-locks, built-in parking-light relays, and many more.

K2’s 3D Pager LCD Alarm System

K2’s 3D Pager LCD alarm system is the very first car alarm or remote starter in 3D graphics. This 1 ½ inch display screen approximately has 65,000 colors in 3D animation. With an OLED (Organic Light Emitting Diode), the owner will experience an immediate full motion video response time and viewing angles. The remote is lightweight and comes with great durability and efficient power. It can operate on broad temperature ranges.

The 3D Pager LCD Alarm System by K2 has special features that will give the owner a high level of comfort and ease of use. The touch sensor does not have a key entry. The owner only needs to input his/her own 4–8 digit PIN pass code to be able to unlock the doors without the need of a remote control or key. When the numbers put in are wrong, the system only allows five failures within a span of 30 minutes or else the feature will not work for the next 24 hours. The system is also armed with a light touch sensor that responds to weak electric currents emitted by the finger.

There is a pull-down menu for the display. This provides the owner easy navigation to the features and systems. The remote Features, System Setting, and Watch are easy to operate with this pull-down menu. The menus can also be displayed in fun animated icons that provide a better distinction among the features and settings of the system.

The 3D Pager LCD Alarm System’s display panel can also be customized using the owner’s own picture. The owner has only to send the image in JPEG format to the nearest dealer who will install it into the system. The picture will be saved and displayed on the screen when the button II is pressed.

The remote control has sensors that will activate to shocks, door opening, and trunk and hood opening. Once the alarms are triggered, the sirens will howl. The parking lights will flash and the red warning LED will blink rapidly.

The rest of 3D Pager Alarm System’s features include a 3-button remote control, a turbo timer, three auxiliary outputs, a LED indicator with two colors, and optional sensor output. It can even check the cabin’s temperature and has a built-in parking system. It can operate up to a distance of 1.5 kilometers.

K2’s 3D pager alarm system is run by a rechargeable 3.7V lithium polymer battery.

Responder LC3 is the third generation of Viper’s Responder series. It has a combination of Responder’s best features with the advances in New Technology Platform, which was introduced with Responder LE, the winner of Best of Innovations Award.

Some of the New Technology Platform features include a DSD Serial Data Port. This provides a plug-and-play connection from installers to XPRESSKIT interfaces. A tachometer wire connection is also not required with the Virtual Tach. Additional relays are also almost entirely eliminated with the Flex Relays Onboard for Remote Start and Light Flash.

The Responder LC3 system comes with a 2-way LC3 SST remote accompanied by a 1-way remote that enables activation within a one mile range.

Responder LC3 has simple icons with vivid text labels on a large LCD screen. These icons are prioritized for easy usage. It has a Priority™ User Interface which controls 24 functions on two different cars with only five buttons. The important icons will also appear three times larger than the rest of the icons. This feature is called the Priority Icon Map™, which will put the large important icons in the center of the screen and the unused ones on the edges. With these features, the owner will have easy access to commands monitoring his/her vehicle, making Viper 5901 Responder LC3 the finest LCD remote on a one mile range.

The default display of the remote’s start mode is the time. However, once the owner selects the Active Temp Check, Responder LC3 can display the temperature in Fahrenheit or Celsius. In this way, the owner can know the temperature outside the vehicle even before leaving the car. The owner can also activate the Runtime Reset to extend the runtime and warm the interior of his/her car. The Responder LC3 will alert the owner three minutes before time runs out. The alert can be chosen among an audible tone, a vibration, a flash reminder on the LCD screen, or all of them at the same time.

With a siren, the Responder LC3 will immediately notify the owner within range if something happens to his/her vehicle. If the owner is not within range, the LC3 will display on its screen what has happened once the owner unlocks the door. The owner can also put the car’s siren into silent mode and the LC3 will only display what happens on the screen with the Silent Mode2 siren less arming.

Viper 5901 Responder LC3 has a lithium-ion rechargeable battery onboard. It is also equipped with a mini-USB recharging.
