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 will sound... very loudly causing everyone in the vicinty of this annoying sound to wonder what the hell is going on.
its also packed with two special functions which are its two anti-hijack functions which protect against the theft of keys and using its interior movment sensors it can protect the building in which the vehicle is being held along with the vehicle.
The first anti-hijck function allows the vehicle to operate via a two digit pin code which has to be programmed by the owner of the vehicle everytime he/she steps inside the vehicle or if one of the doors are open then the code must still be entered to make the alarm ready. If the code is not set then the antihijack function will operate and eventually make the car come to a grinding halt. This will also protect your car from being started by a thief with stolen keys.
The second anti-hijack function is completely automatic and does not need to be set by the owner of the alarm system. It works by using a PST key (which is about the same size as an after eight mint but a tad bit heavier) which is hidden on the person therefore the anti-hijack function will not operate, but this is the clever bit; when the owner is situated inside the vehicle there is a continuous invisible electronic connection between the PST key and the Selcia split 88 wireless alarm for the hi-jack status not to function but when the owner of the alarm system along with the PST key moves away from the vehicle when it is still running the anti-hijack function will come into play and eventually the engine will stop. This will also stop a thief from using stolen keys to start the car providing that you have kept that little PST key seperate. Should the owner lose or forget the PST key then just simply enter the two digit code into the alarm.

Advantages:
High level of security, Can 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 the PST transponder key seperately to make full use of this alarm system.

Useful information here, better than your previous reviews. Formatting is something that could be improved though.
