Alarms & Immobilisers
Vehicle security encompasses a broad spectrum of options, we can supply and install either physical or electronic devices, or a combination of both, from a wide variety of manufacturers.
We have been installing conventional alarm systems into cars, LGVs, HGVs, caravans and motorhomes for many years. We can offer insurance-approved systems to category 1 or 2, as well as non-approved systems. We supply the best quality products we can source and are currently the main agents for Laserline, Autowatch and Cobra.
Thatcham Category 1 gives the highest level of electronic security by using both an alarm system and 2 2-circuit immobiliser. The alarm will protect all access points to the vehicle and have internal or glass break protection. The alarm siren will have a built-in battery backup.
If your vehicle is already equipped with an approved immobiliser, be it factory fitted or aftermarket, we can upgrade using a 2-1 system to give full Cat 1 approval.
Thatcham Category 2 is simply an immobiliser without the alarm element. We can supply systems that work from either a transponder or a touch key to deactivate.
We can incorporate an alarm to work from your vehicle’s existing OE remote locking device, equally, we can supply an alarm that will remotely lock your vehicle on arming the alarm. If your vehicle has no central locking, we can install it for you. We have carried out many installations of this type on classic cars and campers.
On larger vehicles, we have used PIR’s (passive infrared sensors) for internal protection and can supply and fit roller shutter switches for commercial vehicle rear doors. We can add sensors to your existing system to increase the security level, for example, using shock or glass break sensors.
We are happy to diagnose faults on existing systems and can offer a service to bypass many OE systems that may have become faulty.
We carry a large stock of remote batteries to cover most manufacturers. We can source most replacement remotes and carry many replacement remote cases in stock.
Dead Locks
On the physical side of security, we can supply and fit deadlocks (electronic or mechanical), slam locks and security grilles for rear windows or bulkheads.
Tracking Systems
We offer various types, but they all work on the same principle that if the vehicle is stolen, the device is activated and tracked.
With GPS-based trackers (Meta Trak and Scorpion Track), a secure operating centre can see where the vehicle is, similar to sat nav, except they can see it and hence liaise with the Police.
There are various insurance categories:
S5 VTS: This is the highest level of protection for your vehicle.
S5 VTS Deadlock: this includes an immobiliser.
S7 and fleet.
Please call us to discuss your requirements.
