Radar Detectors and Laser Jammers For Your Aston Martin
Access 1 Alarm and Audio offers multiple brands of radar systems such as Beltronics, Escort, K40 and the ultimate in laser protection, AL Priority. Even though it is uncommon for a company such as Access 1 Alarm & Audio to put all its eggs in a single basket, we can’t professionally recommend any other equipment other than Escort or Beltronics paired to the AL Priority due to Cleveland’s unique speed measuring threat. We have multiple systems for different budgets with different levels of protection.
Turn your alarm system into a security system!
Well what does that mean? You just spent a few hundred dollars on an alarm system to protect your vehicle and you go to bed at night feeling easy knowing that your vehicle has an alarm system, but is your vehicle really protected? Time and time again we hear from many people across the nation or read the stories online in forums that the vehicle was broken into or worse, stolen and had an aftermarket security system installed on it. So what to do?
First by definition an alarm is a signal that warns or alerts while security is the state of being protected or safe from harm. Two different terms each describing an aftermarket or factory system, but which one would you prefer for your vehicle?
Now we do write alarm system throughout our website but that is because the term is loosely used in the world and makes it easier for Google to search the term when people do not distinguish between the two. However, we hope that more people read this and armed with this knowledge understand the difference.
Access 1 Alarm & Audio's basic alarm systems come with door trigger monitoring, siren, shock sensor, flashing parking lights, keyless entry, starter interrupt/kill and a flashing light indicating the status of the alarm system in which all are professionally installed by one of our highly skilled and trained technicians. Currently this is an alarm system as it will warn or alert anyone within ear shot of the vehicle. Now there is some limitations to the basic system as it does not monitor the trunk or hatch depending on the vehicle and the hood leaving them vulnerable to thieves. A pin switch at a minimal reasonable price can be added to ensure that they are integrated into the alarm system.
Available security sensors for your vehicles Viper, Avital, Python, or Clifford security system that will add the extra layer of protection ensuring your vehicle and valuables are safe.
