An automobile alarm is an audible security system which activates as a loud noise if a possible break-in is detected. Not only are these systems annoyingly loud, they also are often false alarms and consequently, often ignored. Many vehicle security systems currently exist which are much more technologically advanced.

In an effort to reduce the number of car thefts that have been costing billions of dollars each year, car manufactures have come up with several different technologies. Things like remotes with two-way communication will warn you when your car's engine has been started or why the alarm has been activated. Some of the most common car security systems include glass break sensors, two-way communication remotes and passive arming.

If you are away from your vehicle you will not hear an audible alarm, and if you are on vacation it might be days before realize your car is missing from the garage. Many vehicle security systems will automatically call a phone number you have programmed or send a text message to notify you of a break in. The two-stage automatic car alarms can inform you if your car has simply been bumped or if the engine is running and car is moving.

If the vehicle is moving, you could communicate to the automatic car alarm to turn off the fuel pump, which will effectively stop the vehicle. Of course, if your car is on the back of a tow truck, stopping the engine will not prevent the theft. Many of the newer vehicle security systems are also equipped with GPS tracking devices to keep tabs on your vehicle's location.

Keeping Car Jackers at Bay: Many vehicle alarm models come with a built-in anti-car-jacking mechanism, which allows you to cut the gas by just pushing a button. The switch is generally nearby the seat belt release, and once pressed it will cut off the gas and put on the brakes to bring the vehicle to a halt. This puts you in control when a dangerous situation might have made you a victim. Having this system means that you can be proactive in making sure that your car is always safe from being stolen.

A lot of times these systems will notify police in the event that a car is hijacked. Some systems are programmed to quickly notify the authorities that something is going on and might be a life-threatening situation. It can be very dangerous when approaching a car thief in the middle of stealing your car, so it's better to let police handle the situation. Once your car alarm notifies you with a text message or phone call that the car is being stolen, you can then tell the police who will already have a head start trying to catch the thief in the act.
