(Q) : HOW AFFECTIVE ARE CAR ALARMS?
- (A) A car alarm is affective in slowing down and in most cases stopping a thief from driving off with a vehicle, according to recent surveys from Australia's leading insurance companies. If fitted correctly by a qualified installer, they are a small investment for piece of mind. No car alarm company can absolutely guarantee that your car won't be stolen, as cars do get stolen with car alarms installed in them, these cars are often towed by professional thieves. The level of security is dependant predominately on the alarm package that is purchased. Usually the more you spend the more security you get.
(Q) : WHAT IS AN AUSTRALIAN STANDARDS CAR ALARM?
- (A) : An Australian Standards car alarm is a vehicle security device which complies to the AS/NZS4601 2003 regulations set out by the Australian Standards Authority. The product must meet certain criteria and undergo product testing in order to be certified. These criteria include; all black wiring, minimum of 2 onboard immobiliser circuits, passive immobilisation, encrypted remotes and non-energised relays.
(Q) : HOW MUCH WOULD I EXPECT TO PAY FOR A CAR ALARM?
- (A) : The cost of car alarms varies from state to state around Australia so it is always good practice to shop around and get comparisons to give you an idea. Compare pricing as well as installation costs and warranty, service or repairs to make sure you are getting a good deal for your money. You need to remember that if a car alarm or the installation lets you down, you need to know that you will get some kind of after sales service, especially if your car won't start due to the immobiliser leaving you possibly without transport.
(Q) : WHAT TYPE OF CAR ALARM WOULD I NEED?
- (A) : Generally the choice of alarm system is dependant on the vehicle, so once an enquiry form has been filled out and we know the vehicle make, model and year we then respond with all available options and prices and our recomendations for you to then ask more questions or make a choice.

Car Alarm Problems? Lost your remote?
Car won't start? Car Alarm False Alarming?
Below we have a simple guide which may help.

Car Alarm Problems. Generally when a car alarm starts to play up the most common cause is low battery voltage. As most modern alarm systems are micro-processor based they are susceptible to electrical spikes caused by a number of reasons such as; jump starting a vehicle, poor battery terminal connection, faulty ignition system, and alternator or starter motor back feed. The other most common reasons that car alarms play up is when a product of poor quality has been used and when proper care was not taken at the time it was installed. All products supplied and fitted by Security In Motion have a lifetime workmanship warranty.
Lost or Damaged Remotes. All vehicle security systems have an emergency override facility in the unlikely event that all the remotes or fobs become lost or damaged. The procedure is usually found in the owners manual, if the owners manual is also missing we may be able to help via telephone or email. For security reasons we cannot publicly show these procedures on this site.
Car Won't Start. Check battery power by turning on other devices such as radio, headlights, interior light etc but do this one at a time, if the lights a dim or there is a clicking sound coming from the engine compartment , then it is likely the battery is too low. If the car alarm's immobiliser fails to disarm or the remote doesn't work let us know by email or telephone with as much info about the alarm that you have or a picture of the remote, this can help us identify the product for any replacement parts.
Car Alarm False Alarming. Common causes for this are: sensors adjusted too high, damaged bonnet switch or not adjusted correctly, vehicle battery voltage drop, a faulty or water damaged siren, vehicle door switches faulty (older cars), short circuit and older alarms in general. We can give advice over the phone to help fix many of these issues with car alarms not supplied by us, but would charge a call out fee if we send a technician out onsite.
