Car Security Systems

Traditional Car Alarm Is Transformed by New Technology

Over the years, safety has become an increasingly important feature in our cars and trucks, and today those safety concerns extend to protecting drivers and passengers even before the key enters the ignition. Security systems now are an integral part of our world - in our homes, at work and in our vehicles - as the capabilities of would-be intruders become more sophisticated. So it's important that we equip our cars, trucks and vans with the most advanced tools to help keep both the vehicle and the people inside safe.

Ziebart International Corporation, a world leader in automotive aftermarket accessories and services, provides car owners with the most up-to-date electronic systems, as well as with information about new trends in automotive security.

How To Choose?
Security systems help us retain some control over our own personal safety. Yet with so many from which to choose, it's easy for the average consumer to feel overwhelmed when it comes to selecting a vehicle security system.
Most security systems available today offer options that fall into four categories, reflecting various consumer needs: vehicle security, personal safety, convenience and comfort.

No security system is complete without an alarm. A standard alarm system incorporates these types of technology:

Built-in entry protection, which activates the alarm whenever anyone attempts to enter the vehicle
A panic feature that activates your car horn to attract attention and scares off intruders

This system offers basic, no-frills protection. But more advanced systems can provide many "extras" that vehicle owners find valuable.

Vehicle Security
Starter kill: This feature prevents the engine from starting if the vehicle is entered illegally.

Passive arming: Your alarm is set automatically. (Note: This feature may qualify you for insurance discounts)

Fully adjustable shock sensor: This function activates the alarm if the vehicle is subjected to tampering.

Flashing LED light: This light indicates when the alarm is set, which discourages intruders.

Flashing parking light: This light is a visual feature that serves to attract attention in an emergency.

Ear-piercing siren: This feature will attract maximum attention.

Personal Safety
Anti-carjacking: This feature lets you activate the alarm while driving.

Scan deterrent: With this function installed in your vehicle, potential thieves will be unable to activate the code that disarms your alarm.

Interior illumination: With this feature, your interior lights will go on before you enter the vehicle.

Manual override: This feature enables you to deactivate the alarm in emergencies.

Second remote control: A second remote provides you with backup security.

Convenience
Remote locks: Open and lock your vehicle without use of a key.

Remote trunk or hatch: Carrying something heavy? With the remote trunk feature, your trunk or hatch can be unlocked before you reach your parked vehicle.

Automatic locking: Do you tend to forget to lock up when you're in a hurry? Your doors will automatically lock and unlock as the engine is started and stopped.

Valet switch: Overrides the alarm. A nice feature to have if you don't want any surprises as you wash or valet park your car.

Comfort
Remote start: Start your engine with the touch of a remote.

Remote start heating or cooling: In the winter, you can defrost your car windows while you are still in your living room; and in the summer, air conditioning will cool down your vehicle before you enter it, all at the touch of a remote.

Brake-activated shutoff: With this feature installed, you needn't worry that your vehicle will be driven away while warming up.

Timed shutoff: While waiting for your car to warm up, you take an urgent phone call that prevents you from getting out and turning off your engine. With the timed shutoff feature installed, you can relax. Your engine will shut itself off after 15 minutes.
