"Smart" Car Alarms for Smart Car Owners

Gone are the days of blaring alarms in the middle of the night. Modern security alarm systems for cars can be quite advanced. Not only are they less likely to go off for no reason, but they also have some unique features that are designed to both protect your vehicle and your personal safety. Here are a few of the most valuable features in new alarm systems.

Smartphone Connectivity

Smartphone connectivity is by far the most useful addition to new car alarm systems. By connecting a car security system to a smartphone, you can maintain complete control over your car at all times. You can check to see if your alarm is engaged, turn your alarm on and off, and even connect to any security cameras or dash cameras you have installed. Some advanced systems can even GPS track your car -- so if your car does go missing, you can find it with ease. 

Motion-Activated Cameras

Motion-activated cameras inside of cars can capture activity when the alarm system is engaged -- such as an individual breaking into the car. Not only can a camera serve as a deterrent if noticed, but it will also capture information about the person's identity and potentially lead to the recovery of any items that are stolen. Motion-activated cameras can also be used as further evidence for insurance claims, as they'll clearly show the damage being done and the items being stolen.

Panic Buttons

Panic buttons are situated on a car's key fob and are designed to set off the car alarm remotely. Panic buttons are absolutely critical for those who are frequently in high risk areas or travel to unfamiliar places. Ideally, a panic button will create enough of a commotion that it will scare away any potential attackers. Panic buttons can also be integrated with many smartphone security features, for an all-in-one system -- and there are some other systems that can also call emergency services if needed.
