How about a Security topic ??

[B-Man]

ie: Which systems are good / bad - Experiences, costs, pros, cons etc ??

Happy to share my experiences on Quicktrak --- Had it my VT SS - (modded) - No-one touched it !

When ever the alarm went off (inadvertantly) - within 5 mins, I'd have the call from Quicktrak.

not a bad idea. especially since there's been so many thefts of late.

who else wants a security topic?

just looking at sdu, their security section isn't exactly booming. we could possibly use the general for security talk. *shrugs*

I don't think we need a security section... I think the less sections the better, instead of having a section for every little thing, and then having 10 threads in them in a year, I say minimise sections...

This would expose the threads to more eyes as they would have to be posted in a more highly read section such as General Discussion or something...

Andrew. :uh-huh:

Maybe we could combine it with the Car Audio, to make Car Audio & Security ?? The two are sort of related (most places that install security devices also do car audio ?) Most people with car audio have security systems ? What about it ?

[two40]

sounds like an idea jimbo

I think we should run with it Porgie .... as I'd think alot of new guys may be wondering what to fit up to their pride and joy, and most old skoo Sky owners (if not all) will certainly have an alarm and a good story / feedback to go with it .....

I for one would certainly like to hear from anyone with either a Brant Nemesis alarm, or a Quik Trak system ... I can't decide at the moment and need some help

Good stuff fellas -

Combining audio and security is a good idea - I know not a lot of ppl like to talk security for fear of some theiving so and so being able to identify etc. However, I think the more said, the better informed we all are therefore the more secure we all are.

I want to know about putting two alarms/imobilizers/tacking systems in the same vehilce.

Also about physical security stuff you can do ??

Cheers,

Actually, we've got two alarms in our Saab, coz the quiktrack couldn't handle the wierd locks that it had.

Basically we have 2 remotes, both can lock the doors (but only the factory alarm can do the deadlocking or open boot.)

Verdict - pain in the arse - two different buttons to do everything.

Wouldn't live without the Quiktrack though.

Whats a quiktrack worth???

Do u have to apy for service or some ongoing fee?

[two40]

as far as i remember it worked out to a dollar a day. i remember seeing that advertised but i'm not sure if it was quicktrack or another one.

[B-Man]

$324 per year - just got the bill. Money well spent @!!!

[PLAYAR]

does quicktrack work in with other alarm systems? i've got a viper alarm and wouldn't mind having quicktrack too.

[B-Man]

I dunno ?? That's what I want to know too !

I would like to put both a Quik Trak and Brant system on but I feel it would be a pain .... Does the fautre list of the Quik Trak compare to the Brant Nemesis or the Boomerang alarm system ??

As for cost of Quik Trak, here is an e-mail my mate recieved from them regarding the system ..... I have e-mailed Quik Trak but they never respond to my queries ???
