Alarm System

[Assassin]

Hey...I wanna install a pager system onto my current mongose alarm system...is it worth it? does anyone have a pager system thingy on their alarm? are they good? i wanna hear some opinions.

[Guest INASNT]

ideas?

[aybee]

ill third that motion...

i got a friend wid a pager and all

its pretty good! every time ya alarm goes off hiz lil pager haz a pik of a car and it shows which sensor haz been activated. if u are really paranoid bout ya car, its a good thing, but expensive

[aybee]

but if youve got a an alarm already can you hook one up to it?

expensive? ive seen some advertised new in the trading post for 300 bucks. might not be the best quality but still...

[chopobo]

yeah i can get one for 250

its made by garage 8 a division of garage r from japan

full fuctions

jus the quality is not as good as the higher brands like boomerang etc (no big fancy remote)

[ApacheX]

chopobo, wats the alarm include?

[Leon.T]

pager alarms are good when u park your car @ work or at shopping centres etc. your pager would go off when the alarm goes off. I forgot the range of the pager, but I know that it can reach longer then 5 blocks of houses.

[chopobo]

yeah thats the sole reason i want car alarm

in case some stooge does a hit and run

its a pretty good alarm apachex

comes with all the standard adjustable shock sensors

engine immoboliser and stuff

jus has a crappy brand name and crappy looking remote

[Dragon18]

pager alarms are good depending on wat they run on gsm

or radio frequency

forget the radio frequcny ones the bounce of walla and reflect off windows not that good if anything you would want to go for a gsm one

there was a post awhile ago about place caralarm place rojan or somthing that has a gsm pager and it rings your mobile etc really good

id go somthing like that

to be honest

[chopobo]

wish i had the money to blow around getting gsm pager systems

but im poor

and i can barely push out 250 for the dodgy pager alarm

[aybee]

does a dual shock sensor make the alarm go off when your cars being jacked up to steal the rims?

I think it is worthless getting a pager. A standard alarm with an immobilizer is good enough. If someone wants to break into your car, they are not going to take their sweet time. By the time you get there the damage would have been done, and the bastard(s) long gone.

Its a waste of good money. Spend it on something better.

but think about it..your going shopping with your galfriend for...lets say.... 3 hrs.....and when u went in the stores, BAM, someone decides to try and take your rims, instantly your alarm goes off and your pager goes off as well. You would be running out there ready 2 smash whoever is near or running away from your car. But if u didn't have a pager, u would stll be shopping and the other guy would c if noone comes back and trys again and take your rims.

A pager does make a difference..it's better 2 know when someone is breaking into your car now then later.

[chopobo]

also

say you park yer car in shopping centre

and you go in to buy stuff

and some stooge smacks yer car

you can come running out in full glory and find the ****er before he does a runner

seriously pager alarms are useful

and for $250 thats not much more expensive than a normal alarm with immoboliser

[ApacheX]

where can u get it from? coz i want one!

btw wat do u mean by a crappy remote? just the looks or the ACTUAL remote iz dodge?

[mash]

A friend got one from JB HI-FI. They dont have many though.

[ApacheX]

not for 250 they dont. cheapest pager one i saw tehre waz 700

[chopobo]

garage8

this guy i know from box hill sells them

i think they sell them at dodgy rice shops too

yeah the remote jus looks crap

no huge lcd screen that looks like a mobile

[calvintys]

i have one which is flash poit ... and it shit... sick of using it
