Top Car Security Systems to Consider for Your Ride

Get Professional Car Security Installation at Car Stereo City in San Diego

Your car is likely one of the most valuable things you own. So how do you protect it? Although most vehicles come with a factory alarm, this isn’t usually enough to deter criminals. Technology has advanced greatly, and criminals have found ways to disengage alarms and unlock cars with the touch of a button.

When you get a new security system installed, you not only get a reliable alarm system, but many other useful features as well. A quality system provides remote start, monitoring, smartphone integration, and more.

At Car Stereo City, we carry industry-leading brands and provide top-of-the-line car security installation. It’s imperative that security installers are up-to-date on the latest and greatest in the security technology world. Our knowledgeable team makes sure we’re giving our customers the best options available! If you’re unsure what system works best for you, we can help guide you in the right direction.

What Car Security System Should I Get?

Most car security systems come with remote start with a one-way or two-way function. A one-way function sends a signal to your car to unlock or trigger the alarm, whereas a two-way function system sends a signal to the car and back to the remote, so you’re notified that the system is activated.

We recommend two-way systems most often, as they tend to have a longer range and a higher level of reliability. However, the choice is yours when it comes to the Viper, Avital, and Prestige car security systems we offer in-store. Keep reading to discover our top recommendations from each brand.

Viper Car Security Systems

The 3305V LCD Two-Way Security System is Viper’s most affordable two-way option. It’s a great starter system for someone looking for something budget-friendly with high-quality features. This system includes shock sensors, a six-tone siren, and a starter kill. This system also has keyless entry, which allows you to keep your vehicle locked until the moment you arrive at the door.

Despite the popularity of two-way systems, Viper offers an enhanced one-way that is a great security option as well: the 3105V Enhanced One-Way Security System. This enhanced model has a longer range and a more reliable remote. You can also start, control, and locate your car from a smartphone app and manage your security system with most Viper car security systems.

Avital Car Security Systems

When you’re choosing a security system, there are options that have LCD screens on your remote for added information and security. On the remote of the 3305L Two-Way Security System, you’ll receive confirmation on the LCD screen when you arm or disarm your system and if your siren sounds. It will also beep or vibrate to notify you from up to 1,500 feet away. This is a nice addition for those who want immediate confirmation that their system is working properly.

This 3100LX One-Way Security System is ideal for those on a budget. The system has a simple design that anyone can navigate. You can control it with a four-button remote with a range up to 1,500 feet. Despite its simplicity, this model still has incredible theft prevention features like the dual-zone impact sensor that detects blows or impacts to your vehicle and will either react with chirps or a siren depending on the situation.

Prestige Car Security Systems

The APS596Z Two-Way Security System is a popular Prestige model perfect for someone who wants top-of-the-line technology and one of the best systems on the market. The APS596Z is a two-way car security system with up to 2,500 feet of operating range. This is an impressive unit that allows you to secure your vehicle from a longer distance than your average system. This system includes automatic arming and locking, remote keyless entry, and multi-vehicle control.

Check out this sleek, one-way security system with remote start and keyless entry with a one-mile range: the APS787Z One-Way Security System. This is a great model for those who want the advanced technology of a security system, but with an easy-to-use remote. This model also has selectable run times and push to start, adding convenience to your system.
