Rating of car alarms. What is the best alarm to put on a car

By 2016, more and more car alarms are moving into the category of telematics, moving away from traditional indication and control using a key fob with an LCD display. The exception is cars that are not equipped with a regular radio channel for controlling the central lock, as well as cars operated in regions that do not have a comfortable GSM network coverage area. Evolution is carried out not only thanks to technology, but also due to the transition of these systems to the middle and budget segments.

Taking into account the growth trend in the share of modern car alarms produced and according to the concept of evolution of car alarms, we chose telematic systems with labeled authorization for the test.

Systems tested:

A short test of some consumer properties can be found in this video:

The systems were evaluated according to a number of criteria, for ease of perception, we divided them into 4 blocks:

• Safety
• Comfort
• Technologies

Safety

It should be noted that all systems use a conversational code and individual encryption keys. Encryption keys in all systems are declared at least 128 bits.

Recently, a code grabber with relaying has been used more and more often for car thefts. Modern system is able to protect against it by blocking the regular radio channel, all systems except the Ghost have this property, this is partly due to the initialization algorithm, partly the issue of the energy resource of the tag.

Below is a comparison table of different parameters. We did not describe the matching functions (encoding, authorization factor, etc.) so as not to distract the reader from the comparison. The assessment method is simple - according to the traffic light type: red = 0 points (not implemented or implemented to a small extent), yellow = 1 point (implemented to an average degree), green = 2 points (implemented most fully).

Comfort

When comparing the comfort functions, we focused on measuring the current consumption of the tags and the main signaling unit. This was done to determine the expected battery life under various operating conditions.

Label consumption:

Agent MS PRO:

This system has the smallest capacity battery (CR2016) - only 0.075Ah, which also determines the smallest size of the tag body among the competing ones. The issue of energy is very important here, and Magic Systems engineers managed to optimize consumption figures. At rest, the tag emits once every two seconds, when the connection is lost, it switches to a fast polling mode with radiation once a second, after 30 seconds it returns to its original state. Only one packet is sent for the request, but as practice shows, the recognition radio channel works quite stably. The estimated battery life is 384 days.

Auto Lis Mobile:

This system uses the most capacious CR2430 battery. 2 packets are transmitted on the air, after which the air is listened to. Despite the fact that the system uses an old transceiver, the results are very positive. Estimated battery life, under conditions of average use - 611 days.

Excellent Revo5:

The largest and longest-lived mark. The main block always starts the dialogue, so the tag sleeps all the time and periodically listens to the air, in the security mode once every 1.2 seconds. This is the secret of longevity, despite the fact that the battery used is an average CR2032 (220 mAh). In medium use mode, the battery in the tag should last 1122 days (more than 3 years).

Pandect 1700:

Representatives of the manufacturer Pandora announced a change in the algorithm of the radio channel, because. there have been many complaints about the rapid discharge of the battery in the tag. This is clearly visible on the graph, compared to the previous test, we see a reduction in broadcasts: before there were 4, now 2. However, the tag remains with the lowest battery life compared to competitors. The radiation period is once per second with a fairly high current consumption. Near the system, the tag consumes almost 2.5 times less than away from it. When the tag is at home, the average current consumption is 30 μA, which is quite high rate, clearly in need of optimization. In the average operating mode, the tag will live 240 days.

Prizrak 840:

The tag has an algorithm for data exchange with the base unit, just like in Excellence. The block starts the dialogue first, the label is in the broadcast listening mode with a period of 1 second. After successful identification, data exchange between the tag and the base module no longer occurs. This greatly reduces energy costs. However, a rather consumed process is going on in the dialog (see graph), this may probably be the reason for the inability to enable the regular radio channel blocking logic. In the average operating mode, the tag will live 441 days.

StarLine M96:

Unlike other tags, the Starline tag had to be tested even under the conditions of a triggered accelerometer (i.e. in motion), so there were not 3 measurements like for each tag, but 6.

The Bluetooth transmission protocol is clearly traced in Starline, this can be seen from 3 request packets on the air. After the transmission of each packet, the air is listened to. The M96 system uses algorithms for generating temporary keys with a timestamp, data exchange is more complicated than that of competing systems. The above conditions cause increased power consumption. Engineers attempted to compensate for this by interacting with the tag's built-in accelerometer, which is the only tag that uses an accelerometer to save power. In the average operation mode, the battery in the tag should live 362 days. An interesting observation is that the type of transceiver used has changed in the Starline tag, this was done to implement support for the Bluetooth 4.0 algorithm, incl. to support as a smart phone authorization element.

Technologies

Software and hardware adaptability

It is worth noting this criterion as the most interesting for advanced installers. In the work of the installer, various needs constantly arise to adapt the installed alarm system to a particular task. To evaluate this point, we use a combination of the capabilities of the systems under test, such as: circuitry capabilities, reassignability of inputs and outputs, polarity, energy saving control, event management via digital buses, the ability to use system event sources for programming, from the vehicle’s digital buses, situational logic and generation of system events according to specified algorithms. The listed properties are indicated in brief and are not fully disclosed, the assessment of the adaptability of alarms is formed according to the author's algorithm Ugona.net. According to our estimates, StarLine, Excellent, then AutoLis and Pandect, close Agent and Prizrak, have the best system of software and hardware adaptability. The ratings are shown in the comparison table.

Consumption of car alarms

This test is very important for determining the average service life. battery under various operating conditions. In order to fully check all possible conditions, we make a calculation according to the summer and winter seasons, taking into account the dependence of the battery capacity on the temperature coefficient.

And we also measure the voltage drop across the resistor through which our alarms are connected to the regular car battery, under normal conditions and in conditions of strong interference. We create strong interference to the GSM network with the help of a GSM broadcast suppressor (jammer). All systems were connected to a Skoda Octavia. We waited for the vehicle electronics to go to sleep and began measuring the consumption of the systems under test. We consider the capacity of a regular battery 60Ah. The consumption of a standard system in our calculations will be taken as 15mA. Conditions for guaranteed engine start - 30% of the nominal capacity of the battery. In advance, we will not give examples of calculating the operation in the summer, because at a temperature of 20 degrees, under the above conditions and current consumption of the tested systems, the battery will last from 33 to 45 days, which is acceptable norm. Therefore, let's evaluate the extremum points where the situation for the user can turn out to be the most painful - this is winter + conditions of strong GSM interference.

Agent MS PRO:

In terms of current consumption, the indicator is too high compared to competitors; in winter, with such consumption, in conditions of strong interference from the GSM network, the battery will last 12 days. When testing, microimmobilizers 100,200,300 were not connected, but their consumption currents will not greatly affect the result.

Auto Lis Mobile:

Avtolis Mobile was tested with a GPS antenna, without a CAN module. It can be seen that in the security mode, the average current consumption was 27.7 mA, and in conditions of strong interference 55.7 mA. When calculating according to the initial conditions, taking into account winter period operation, at a temperature of -20 degrees, in the absence of GSM communication, the car's battery will last for 9 days. Returning from a two-week vacation, you can find yourself with a "broken trough", i.e. with a dead battery. This manufacturer got out of this situation in the following way: upon the occurrence of a critical voltage threshold standard battery the GSM modem simply turns off. Turns back on when an alarm occurs. This method is a "patch" in this situation and requires adjustment of the software or hardware platform to optimize consumption. After all, leaving our car in conditions of strong GSM interference (and this is not easy to control), we risk either planting the battery or being left without communication with the car, for example, if we want to remotely start the engine, we will not be able to do this, because. GSM modem is off. Also, in such conditions, it is not entirely clear whether the car is in the same place, or the hijacker, who has a jammer, dragged it away on a tow truck a long time ago.

Excellent Revo5

In winter, if there is no GSM connection, your car with Excellent Revolution 5 installed will no longer be able to start on the 13th day.

Pandect X-1700

Unlike its competitors, Pandekt can go to sleep when there is no GSM network. However, the performance in "ordinary life" is much worse than other tested systems. In "bad" conditions, the battery will last for 15 days. You can return from a two-week trip and start the engine. Not connected during testing GPS module and others that are not included in the basic set.

Prizrak 840:

The lowest consumption under normal conditions among competitors, but the most extreme consumption under GSM jamming conditions is 58.75mA. If we add 15mA of regular consumption, then in winter conditions and GSM interference or lack of a GSM network, the owner runs the risk of not starting the engine after 9 days.

StarLine M96M:

In terms of consumption - the golden mean. In bad conditions, the battery will last for a two-week vacation, under normal conditions, the performance is also excellent.

Full price comparison

We thought it would be unfair to compare systems in different configurations, so we resorted to a handicap and compiled a resulting table that includes a number of components with their total cost, including installation. Prices are average for the Moscow region, the regional pricing policy of manufacturers can adjust these figures down by up to 30%.

Results

We did not begin to make a general summary assessment for all the resulting parameters for alarms, this is due to a number of reasons listed below. This test formed to help consumers and installers evaluate the properties of modern alarm systems. The resulting ratings are an indirect indicator for making a decision on the choice of systems and depend on the specific tasks pursued by the user, as well as the capabilities of the vehicle. For example, the pandect has a miniature size and is interesting as an element of hidden installation in non-standard places of the car, but it is cut down in terms of analog connection capabilities and is more suitable for modern German cars; the Excellence system, despite its high cost compared to competing products, is a tool with wide technical capabilities, suitable for author's installation; MS Agent combines golden mean price-functionality, as well as the most integrated into the main unit of the main components, which will undoubtedly appeal to installers. Therefore, before final choice devices, we recommend consulting with specialists to develop the most optimal solution for your tasks.

Rating of car alarms 2016. This is a question that probably worries every motorist who wants his car to always be under reliable protection. According to surveys, it is this seemingly fairly simple mechanism that gives a 100% guarantee that your car will be safe and sound, and no one will steal it. But, another problem arises - how to choose a truly high-quality and reliable alarm system so that a fake does not come across. In this case, you should pay attention to the alarm rating 2016, in which a list of high-quality and proven mechanisms is presented, on the basis of which you can make a choice.

The ten most reliable car alarms in the world.

10. Pantera alarm. This remedy is manufactured by a company called Saturn Hi Tech. Main Feature this signaling is the presence of two-way communication, as well as the reception range, which is no more than 2 km.

9. Alarm "Stalker". This device is manufactured by a specialized company called MAGIC SYSTEMS, whose main activity is the development of special security systems. It is worth noting that the latest version of the alarm systems of this company is considered the most advanced and reliable, as it is equipped with a special digital protection system, has an improved model feedback and a block of speech accompaniment.

8. Alarm "CLIFFORD". A feature of the brand of these alarms is that they are produced and produced in a fairly wide color range. But as for the latest series of these alarms, they are improved models. For example, they are equipped with mechanisms such as a turbo timer, two-way communication and auto start.

7. Alarm "Tomohawk". The most popular and frequently encountered protection in our country. Most of its models are already equipped with a two-way system. new version is an alarm system called TZ9020, which is characterized only by the latest technical specifications, but it is quite expensive.

6. Alarm "Alligator". The advantage and advantage of these mechanisms is simplicity and ease of use, installation and further operation. Also, the latest versions are equipped with modern innovations. For example, such a version of the device as cm30GC is characterized by an increased range of reception, an additional system of protection against scanning and command interception, as well as modern two-way communication. But, as for the price level, it occupies an intermediate one. Average position compared to all other varieties.

5. Alarm "Sheriff". A model that is sold at a low price, although it includes all the necessary mechanisms and systems. By the way, such a version of the alarm system as Sheriff ZX750 is characterized by the presence of 6 service channels, a modern interactive LCD pager and a reliable anti-theft protection. In other words, this model is worth paying attention to.

4. Alarm "MMC Magnum". This anti-theft systems which are manufactured by Samsung. A feature of these versions is that the owners have a 100% guarantee on the condition of the car within the limits of the GSM connection.

3. Alarm Trade Pandora. most latest version is the Pandora Deluxe 1870 model, which includes a system that prevents electronic hacking, an improved version of two-way communication and an increased notification distance.

2. Alarm "MegaF Scher-Khan". Protective device, which is produced in Russia and has guarantee period service for 5 years.

1. "Start Line" alarm. This mechanism is the leading modern market. The advantage of this device is the average and affordable price at high quality. The most popular and sought-after version can be called a model called Start Line Twage A 91. The advantage of this device is the presence of an interactive authorization system, individual encryption keys and modern two-way communication.

Based on this list of reliable alarms, you can choose exactly what will fit and meet all your requirements and requests. But, nevertheless, one should proceed from quality, and then pay attention to the price.

The modern world requires car owners to take extra precautions when it comes to protecting their car. Every day in this area there are new items that allow you to feel as calm as possible for your vehicle. The constant development of innovative methods is carried out because the development of technologies for illegal possession of a vehicle also does not stand still. It's like a constant fight between those who are trying to protect the car and those who are trying to take it illegally. Achievements in the development of car alarms are impressive and somewhat surprising with their modernity, readiness to answer all questions of modern requirements.

To understand for drivers the question of which car alarms with auto start are better, we have compiled a rating of the best car alarms.

In tenth place we have the system automotive protection"Ghost-810". The system allows you to be in touch with your car at any distance. It is designed in such a way that a keychain is not needed. The settings are very easy to change, making it suitable for any environment.

The Pandect X-2050 car protection system is small, easy to set up and capable of providing the highest level of protection. The owner is constantly in touch with his car. It is suitable for all brands of cars, from economy to business class.

The unique development in the field of car protection "Prizrak-830" gets the eighth line in our rating of the best car alarms. This miracle of the domestic industry will save your car at the highest level. It differs from its relative, which occupies the tenth line, in a more advanced configuration.

The seventh line of the rating is received by the car alarm “StarLine E90 GSM. This alarm has built-in anti-interference, can automatically start the engine. But its main advantage is the guarantee of high vehicle protection. Suitable for any car, has a compact size.

The smallest, but this does not mean that the simplest car alarm "Pandect X-2010" takes the sixth line of the most authoritative car protection systems. The kit includes a keychain with a liquid crystal display. alarm support high level security and constantly be in touch with the owner.

The top five opens "Pandect X-1170". This security system does not need a key fob, as it is controlled from any distance via mobile phone. The system allows you to monitor certain functions and devices of the car.

In fourth place in the ranking, we put the Pandora dxl-3910 car alarm. The alarm provides more than fifteen independent protection zones, is easily mounted in any car model and provides absolute protection for your vehicle. It can become part of the car's electronic system, which significantly increases the level of safety.

The top three car alarms with automatic start are opened by the Ghost of the 800th series. The system is characterized by the fact that it does not need any key fobs, but it guarantees the protection of your car from all means of modern theft and allows you to be in touch with the car at any distance.

The second one was StarLine D94 GSM/GPS. It has almost all the characteristics of the above car alarms and is a unique development. Capable of delivering unsolvable problems to every car thief. Its advantage is the presence of a very powerful transmitter channel, which brought this system to second place.

January 2017, with its numerous holidays, flew by unnoticed. Everyone returned from their usual winter holidays tanned and full of strength. Many immediately went to excavate their machines, others do not even know where to look for them. Heavy snowfalls, incredible temperature fluctuations and outlived car alarms could not resist the insidious plans of the kidnappers.

Then, most likely with sadness, a neat piece of paper will come to mind, where the best alarms with auto start 2016-2017 were written out at the end of last year. And as they say, in such cases, on Privoz of the glorious city of Odessa - whoever did not have time, he was late. But their rating, collected from the best Internet sites in 2016, was really good.

Main evaluation criteria

A high-quality car alarm, as well as its rating, becomes dependent on the set of opportunities that the manufacturer has awarded them. The fuller and richer the set of such car alarm functionality, the higher the place in the ranking that it occupies. In the event that the main indicators best alarms match, their service characteristics are taken into account:

• principle of signal coding. It is on him that the safety of the car taken under guard depends. Even though car alarms with analog coding and a frequency of 433 MHz are in demand among some car owners, but in the ranking of the best car alarms they good places does not get. Here, the favorites are alarms with auto-start and conversational encryption with signal frequencies in the region of 868 MHz or 2.4 GHz. In this frequency range, code grabbers no longer work;
• a variety of principles for validating the owner of a car. Best Places in the 2017 rating will be occupied by those alarms with auto start that use for these purposes not only a variety of key fobs, but also personal, driver's tags or a set of an access code in the car;
• the possibility of remote start of the car engine with a variety of car alarm programming algorithms. In this case, autostart is carried out not only by a timer or a time range, but also by the temperature of the engine or passenger compartment, by a voltage drop in the electrical circuit of the machine. The best places in the 2017 ranking will be occupied by auto-start alarms, which have a richer set of functions. Especially if it is solved with the help of telematic capabilities of car alarms, eliminating the problem of losing radio communication;
• no less important for the alarm status is its telematic orientation. When with the help of GSM-communication and GPS-navigation issues are resolved, both the safety of the car and its service capabilities, up to the remote start of the engine;
• the possibility of using CAN (LIN)-buses, since analog switching does not allow increasing the secrecy of signaling with auto-start. With the use of these particular switchings, the best examples of car alarms in 2017 work;
• the increase in security zones is a priority in raising the status of car alarms. For the best examples of alarm systems, their number is not limited to 10. They include not only the ability to open various doors, but also control over the jacking of the car or its criminal towing.

Important: most car alarm service functions are used with pleasure by car owners, but such functions have little to do with the security capabilities of the alarm. Moreover, by complicating the equipment, they make it less reliable. Especially if this alarm is with remote autostart.

List of the best

To be the best in the ranking of security car alarms for 2016 is a difficult task, but an honorable one. Expert reports, advice from professional installers, feedback from participants in various forums, and even rewriters' articles from ordinary graphomaniacs - everything works for the image of popular brands. At the same time, it should be noted that the first 3 brands provide 70% of the entire market demand for such equipment. The number of requests in search engines, according to StarLine alarms with autostart, it exceeds the requests for any of its contenders by an order of magnitude.

And yet, you can’t do without the best car alarms with remote autorun capabilities.

Overall rating

After analyzing consumer reviews, experts compiled a rating of car alarms in 2016 in terms of reliability. Consider the most popular brands in the modern market:

• Pandora;
• sheriff;
• Scher-Khan;
• Magnum.

Trademarks Starline, Pandora, Scher-Khan occupy approximately 70% of the entire market of our state and high positions in the rating of alarms. These notorious devices are equipped with feedback mechanisms, provide excellent opportunities in the matter of protection and control of the state of the vehicle.

Undoubtedly, the products developed by these brands manifest themselves in different ways and have very specific features, advantages and disadvantages. However, All alarms have the same functional feature is a feedback device.

The equipment is mounted between the car alarm device itself, located in the vehicle, and the key fob, located by the driver. This feature provides the ability to track the state of the machine at any moment and prevent possible theft.

It is for this reason that most vehicle owners, having familiarized themselves with the car alarm rating for 2016, prefer models with auto start and the possibility of feedback.

Alarms with auto start

star line

The rating of car alarms 2016 is headed by the Starline brand. The brand is the most famous and in demand among motorists in our country. Today, tens of millions of car owners can fully trust the alarms produced by this corporation.

The most popular in the ratings is the line of alarms with the Dialog function. By such an index, it is easy to determine the main advantage of the produced series, more specifically, the dialogue method for encrypting the broadcast signal. This advantage is due to the resistance of technology to devices that provide the possibility of intellectual hacking, which today are used as often as possible by intruders.

Important! Arises interest Ask: who really produces such complex devices that allow hacking alarms? Naturally, the demand for new, more advanced alarms will increase if attackers learn how to hack the old ones. Do manufacturers of car alarm devices themselves create systems that facilitate their hacking?

Consider the features of the Starline alarm:

• the signal operates at a sufficiently large distance;
• autorun mechanism;
• protection against various interferences;
• reasonable price.

Equipment:

• shock sensor;
• system of remote control of work of locks;
• ignition circuit control.

Pandora

Alarms of this brand are also considered one of the most popular on the market. domestic market and occupy a worthy position in the rankings. The main difference similar systems an improved mechanism for encrypting a blocking code, built according to the "friend or foe" algorithm, is considered.

Such alarms are equipped with CAN-modules that help expand the possibilities of installing security systems. The main advantage of such devices is the installed mechanism for reading an extended list of sensors, as well as an algorithm for monitoring the quality of the passing signal, which will be appropriate if the probability of leaving the signal reception radius is high. But the cost of such technical equipment is considered very high, which affects the position of alarms in the ratings.

Scher Khan

Such alarms got into the ratings due to the relatively large signal reception radius, which can be even 2 km. At the same time, the alarm system has a sufficiently high functional reliability. The highest positions in the popularity ratings are occupied by models with the characteristic mark MAGICAR 7.

Updated line The signaling of the trademark under consideration is characterized by increased protection of the transmitted data, preventing them from getting into the open air, which cannot be said about other signaling. Thus, the probability of successfully intercepting the signal is greatly reduced, no wonder they are in the rankings.

Additional interest among domestic motorists is the possibility of adapting to the conditions of our climate. The disadvantage of a relatively small configuration is fully compensated by the reasonable cost of such alarms.

Sheriff

In our area, such alarms are quite well known and occupy high positions in the ratings. One of the reasons for the high demand for Sheriff alarms is the relatively low cost. Such models are often taken into account when rating car alarms due to the presence of the entire necessary set of protective capabilities of vehicles:

• regulation of the state of locks in each door;
• management of available security modes at a distance;
• activation of the alarm in the active as well as the passive position;
• adjusting the state of the central lock;
• autorun options.

TO negative aspects can be attributed to the algorithm of dynamic encryption of the emitted signal. Many vehicle owners are satisfied with this purchase as this alarm system can be retrofitted with other optional modules.

Magnum

The rating of car alarms with auto start cannot be compiled without this trademark. The main feature of the systems is the ability to install GPS modules, serving as a worthy alternative to the radio transmitters of competing devices. Vehicle protection capabilities are greatly enhanced by a large number sensors and additional features included in basic equipment car alarms. Naturally, such technological features contribute to an increase in the cost of the system.

The highest positions in the ratings among domestic motorists are occupied by security systems for machines capable of providing reliable protection taking into account constantly updated security requirements and expanding functionality for maximum ease of control.

Important! Additional functionality that increases the level of protection of the machine is presented as separately installed sensors, which contribute to the growth of popularity for a particular model, if the cost varies within reasonable limits for ordinary citizens.

How to choose the right car alarm

Consider the main criteria for selecting car alarms, perhaps they are the ones that most influence the positions in the ranking:

• The range of each alarm is determined individually. The average signal reception distance is 500-2000 m.
• Thanks to such a device as a CAN bus, a car alarm device can be integrated into the vehicle's wiring in order to reduce the need to get into an electrician.
• Additional functionality, for example, an auto-start mechanism, shock sensors, navigation systems, a turbo boost activation timer, hidden buttons, key fobs with a large number of commands, the ability to adjust settings, synchronization with digital gadgets, etc.
• The possibility of encoding the emitted signal and a feedback system that ensures the operation of the dialogue encryption algorithm. The security unit conducts a preliminary analysis of the key fob command. After confirmation is received, a random combination of several numbers will be generated. The algorithm used is unique, the two devices recognize each other, and the code interceptor does not count the pulse, since it changes regularly.
• The number of protected zones and the ability to support sensors will always depend only on the power of the installed central processor. Such sensors are placed in various places of the car in accordance with the attached instructions. Additionally, you can install motion or volume sensors.
• It is advisable to take into account the consumption of electricity in order to save battery power and additionally install an alarm power supply that works offline.
• Naturally, it is necessary to take into account the cost of car alarms and calculate the possibility of your own budget.

Which alarm is better

There is no single answer to such a question. All existing security systems can be divided into 4 main subgroups, and their ratings are formed in them:

• Unilateral. The package of such systems includes a minimum number of functions. If you try to start the engine, it will start to stall when the door is opened or the car is hit - the light and sound warning mechanism is activated. Unfortunately, this kind of protection will not protect against theft of wheels.
• Two-way alarm with feedback device allows you to fully control the vehicle. In the event of an emergency, an appropriate signal will be sent to the key fob held by the car owner. Such systems can transmit a signal over a distance of 500 to 1500 m.
• Regular system in most cases, it is represented by a device called an immobilizer, which is integrated into the vehicle manufacturing process. The level of security can be characterized as medium.
• The GPS module can be installed in the car in the form of a satellite tracker that will systematically track the location of the car. The efficiency of such devices is quite high, and the signal transmission radius is large.

Security alarm systems are in demand more than ever today, due to the rapid pace of development of digital technologies. Not enough can be disarmed with software reliable system car alarm, so it is necessary to track the rating of updated systems every year.
