All the alarms featured here meet with\u00a0AS\/NZS 3749.1:2003 Class A<\/strong>\u00a0insurance standards (Previously known as a 5 star alarm under the defunct NZSA star rating system<\/a>) or the respected Thatcham CAT 1 standard.<\/p>\n

\n
Features without the jargon:<\/strong><\/p>\n
Immobiliser:<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0Auto-arming dual immobiliser (minimum)<\/p>\n
Alarm:<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0 Battery Back-up Siren, door, boot and bonnet protection, internal sensor.<\/p>\n
Battery back-up siren:<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0I\u00a0suggest that the only effective battery back-up sirens are hidden or hard to reach ones. This rules out all the systems that come with an over-ride key. Full explanation found here: http:\/\/vehiclesecurity.co.nz\/blog\/5-star-muppetry<\/a><\/p>\n
Internal Sensors:<\/strong><\/em> Ultrasonics<\/a>, Microwave<\/a>, and glass break sensors<\/a> are all allowed. It is worth noting that glass break sensors are not effective where the windows have an after market tint film (window tinting) fitted.<\/p>\n
Remote Controls:<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0Rolling code (all come with two remote controls as standard)<\/p>\n
\n
Note:<\/strong> Thatcham CAT 2 to 1 systems are designed for vehicles with an existing approved immobiliser<\/p>\n
Remember that a big immobiliser is far harder to install effectively then a small one, plus a battery back-up siren with an over-ride key will put big limitations on where it can be installed. That said a good installation is still a must if the alarm is going to be an effective form of protection.<\/p>\n
