Alarm system with link to mobile phone

ricman

MY friend lives in an apartment, she has a 4 door car .IN the last 2 months there has been 2 car break ins,ie thefts from cars, one car stolen.
I,M looking for advice, re car alarm .One that has movement sensors, that has sensors to indicate a broken window.ITS a new apartment complex, theres no security cameras,or electronic gates.
IS there such a thing as an alarm that can communicate ,with a mobile phone, iphone ,or android app .SHE has to park the car ,about, 80ft from the apartment, shes on the top floor.
she could afford about 450 to pay for an alarm.
I,m just concerned because i think these people willl come back again.

Google Clifford car alarms. They even have an iPhone App to control the alarm. Expensive though.

Clifford alarms are good. They can be gotten with proxy sensors (senses movement around the car) and also blackjax (which is a keypad inside the car that requires a code entered into it everytime the car is started or the doors are entered)

total cost was €550 inc 1day return ferry to the UK best price here was over 1K :eek:

While car thieves should be hanged by the neck until dead, I don't see the point in such an alarm in the case you mention.

Will your friend confront the scumbags breaking into her car?
What is her plan if they decide to attack her?
You also mention she is on the top floor, which implies that she would take several minutes to get to the thieves, by which time they will be gone.

Todays thieves simply do not care if they are seen or caught, as they suffer no consequences in either event.

The only people they don't steal off are the gangsters who wipe the floor with them if they do.

She would be better off getting a decent Clifford installed and hope that the blue flashing light is enough of a deterent to theives in that even if they get into the car theyre not taking it very far. I have the Clifford G5 (the one that Bryn mentions) and to be honest theres not a whole lot more you can do; if a thief sees a Clifford and still persists then they are either stupid and will get caught or else they simply dont care if they are seen and in that case are probably best avoided anyway.

I agree with Pkiernan also; a notification system is all well and good but unless you are prepared to take on the thieves and suffer the potential consequences of doing so (ie not a good idea) then I really dont see the point. I woke up to someone breaking into my car during the year; I ran downstairs with a cricket bat in my hand but they were gone by the time I got there. In hindsight I am so glad that they were because lord knows what the outcome would have been had they still been there (for them or for me...)

Hi,

What are your firend live?
Just curious if I should look at better protection for my car if that's anyway near.

For that matter what areas are known to be subject to car breakins?
