Review of Disklok

This is the alarm to get

Advantages: Good visual deterrent, no false alarms
Disadvantages: Expensive

...alot of friends, and the Clifford was recommended to me. I chose a Concept 300. This is one of the cheapest Thatcham 1 approved alarms on the Market, but is probably one of the best. It never goes off in the night on a false alarm. It always locks on the first keypress. It never malfunctions. You can expand it like you would never believe. Any electrical item on your car can be controlled by the alarm. It will cost you, but you can make it do anything. ...
...car? Get this alarm. You want to press a button on your remote to turn on your headlights? Get this alarm. Buy the remote start kit and you can start your car 10 minutes before you leave your house. On a frosty morning, your car will all be nicely defrosted for you, and you can even press a button on the fob to activate your heated seats. It's a decent alarm. I'd recommend it to anyone. Except to pay between £300-400 for a professionally fitted standard ...

Review of Clifford Concept 300

deterred but beaten

Advantages: loud, immobiliser included
Disadvantages: expensive

This is supposedly one of the best on the market and our car (mitsubishi lancer evo V) already had one fitted and included an immobiliser. It was easy to use and on testing it was loud when set off. I am told it cost £350 to install so semmed to be rather expensive but we hadn't had to fork out for it! When activated, any opening of doors, windows or bonnet would set off the alarm. The immobiliser had to dis-activated differently once inside the ...
...All in all it seemed to be a very good alarm but it turns out we were proved wrong. On Monday night the alarm went off at approximately 11.45pm thus causing my partner to jump out of bed and run down the stairs but no one was around and everything seemed to be intact so he reset and came back to bed. We were woken at 5 am by a neighbour and found the car stripped of it's bonnet, front bumper, headlights and some engine parts - it was unbelieveable ...

Review of Cobra Cat 1 Car Alarm

Selca Spilt 88 Wireless Alarm Review

Advantages: High level of security, Can be used in conjuction with other selca products, Different functions
Disadvantages: Expensive, Have to purchase PST Transponder key seperately, Difficult wiring

This Selca split 88 wireless alarm protects any property in a 30 metre radius such as your car, boat, garage, shed, caravan and even your home. Using its latest and greatest RISC generation processor with its 4 PIR and/or magnetic contact sensors within its 30m radius will provide a high level of security. When the 4 sensors are programmed correctly this makes for a very versatile alarm system and when an unauthorised break-in takes place the alarm ...
...be used in conjuction other selca products, Different functions Disadvantages: Expensive, Have to purchase PST Transponder key seperately, Need a proffesional to install unless you are competent at wiring. Price £115 I have come to the conclusion that this is an extremely good alarm which offers a top level of security but it will need to be fitted by a professional with knowledge in this area. It also is a bit of a con that you have to buy ...
