If you'd like to be able to give a piece of your mind to someone who breaks into your car, a GSM car alarm might let you do just that. With a GSM car alarm you can talk to the thief, notify them that you're going to cut off the fuel supply, and then do just that. Imagine the face of THAT car thief as you take control of the situation from a remote location.
An installed GSM car alarm, properly equipped with a SIM card, is able to detect that the alarmed vehicle has been entered, and then call a selected phone number to notify the owner of what is happening. The car owner can then speak to the invader through a speaker built into the GSM car alarm, and instruct the car to shut off the fuel supply and disable the car's driving ability.
The GSM car alarm not only allows you to speak to the car thief, but also allows you to listen in on any conversation happening in your car. Additional options offer the ability to lock and unlock the doors, close electric windows and even offer a remote starter to a vehicle with automatic transmission.
The actual location of the owner in relation to the car is irrelevant since the GSM car alarm is able to contact the owner on a cell phone. If you can receive a cell phone call, then you are in range to communicate with and control your vehicle. Even from a remote vacation spot you will have the ability to talk to a car thief, cut off the fuel and advise the police of the situation.
GSM car alarms can be controlled with a cell phone, and they can even stand in for your own cell phone if needed. With an installed SIM card, the GSM car alarm can be used to make phone calls in the place of your cell phone. Limitations to this system include the fact that all calls must go through the speakers and calls can only be placed to preprogrammed phone numbers. However, even with these limitations, this feature is a godsend if your cell phone battery is dead at a time when you need to call for help.
GPS locators can be added as an option to the GSM car alarm to assist in vehicle recovery in the event of theft. The car's location can be determined and then transmitted to the authorities.
