SonicElectronix, Inc. Announces New Security/Alarm Products for Ultimate Comfort & Security

Valencia, CA, June 07, 2008 --(PR.com)-- For many years now, automobile insurance companies have discounted monthly premium costs for customers who have installed security measures in their vehicles. At first, simple tools and devices such as the Club steering wheel locks were acceptable qualifications for discounts. But as thieves grow increasingly resourceful in their methods, technology has been developed to respond appropriately to criminal activities.

Insurance claims cost insurance companies much more money than to offer incentives of adding security measures. In 2004 alone, over 1 million motor vehicles were stolen according to FBI crime reports. It is no wonder then that insurance companies are turning to technologies such as vehicle alarms, remote car starter pagers, and even GPS locators to curb the increasing crime wave. Product Information Specialist of Sonic Electronix, Armand Jusuf, commented, “Car owners need to take full advantage of security devices and really invest in protecting their vehicles. Criminals are getting smarter and more persistent; so it’s up to the car owner to have the same determination to keep their vehicles.”

Sonic Electronix highly recommends 2-way alarm systems for motorists who would like maximum protection with an affordable price. Car alarm manufacturers like Python, ScyTek, and Viper produce advanced 2-way car alarms, which differ greatly from standard car alarms due to its 2-way communication—a feature that allows the user to be notified when there is disturbance or activities near the vehicle.

There are also various types of sensors that would trigger car alarm systems. Previous technologies have only allowed for shock sensor to be utilized, detecting a thief when the car is disturbed. There are also sensors, made available through Sonic Electronix, which will detect glass breakage and even motion within a certain distance to the car. These sensors, when combined with 2-way alarm systems, would literally protect your vehicle from thieves. When a sensor is triggered, the system will alert the car owner as far as ¼ of a mile away that there was a disturbance in or around the vehicle. Once alerted, the owner could notify police or at least hold the thief at bay while help is on the way.

Motorists could spend anywhere from $60 - $350 depending on how complete the alarm system (http://www.sonicelectronix.com/cat_i27_vehicle-security.html) is. “The system is a huge upgrade from factory or standard alarm systems. In fact, most people are so used to car alarms nowadays that it defeats the purpose of just having a really loud alarm. The solution is the 2-way car alarm systems that would not only attract attention, but also get the owner’s attention,” Specialist Jusuf explained.

In addition to various types of car alarms, there is also the ScyTek SkyTrack available through Sonic Electronix. The SkyTrack system is a GPS tracking system that is primarily for commercial purposes, but could be use on your own personal vehicle. The SkyTrack will allow users to monitor its current position and transmit the data to wherever a computer is set up to receive the data. In addition, there is no additional monthly service fee like that charged by other services. The ScyTek SkyTrack costs a onetime purchase of $350.

So are security measures worth the investment? Sonic Electronix recommends every car owner should have one. Not only will security systems and GPS tracking devices help you keep your car, they will also reduce a significant amount of your monthly insurance premium. In fact, the more security features you have in your car, the more likely it is for your car to be insured for as low as half the cost of what you’re paying now. In the end, these security devices will save you money, whether money lost by theft or money lost by high insurance payments.
