alrams, shock vs microwave sensor

[Jimbo2000]

which is better?

i see pros and cons with all of them

shock:

pros, will tell you if someone kicks your car, breaks your window, tries to jack it up

cons sparkplug ceramic trick on windows will not shock it enough, annoying if a car with a loud exhaust drives by.

interior microwave:

pros,will detect if someone actually gains entry to cabin

cons dosnt stop someone jacking up, kicking etc

external microwave:

Pros will detect someone lurking around, jacking etc

a nuicance if people are simply walking past

????

tell me your experiences, without going into details of your own system of course.

I have a microwave in my convertible. Great for parking it with the top down. Works really well.

It also has shock sensors which I have turned the sensitivity down on. That way a passing car wont set it off, but someone jacking it to steal the wheels will

ditto, i have a viper with a shock sensor, worked very well, never had a flase alarm but if i kicked the tyres it went off!

good alarms should have all that standard ..
