Car Security

June 27th, 2008 by Shenron

Your car is probably the second biggest purchase of your life (besides your home) and while many vehicles are insured against fire, theft and collision, no one wants to go through the hassle of having their beloved vehicle damaged in any way. For those that love their cars, prevention is usually the best deterrent against damages or loss of your vehicle and by implementing some car security products, you can severely reduce the risks of damage.

Car Alarms

Car alarms are now found installed on most vehicles or an option on many new vehicles. In addition, for those older vehicles that do not have a car alarm, adding an after market product is easy, affordable and effective. Obviously, a car alarm won’t make your car impossible to steal, but it will be an extremely effective deterrent. Any amateur will not be able to steal your vehicle without at least having the car alarm go off and hopefully waking a few of the neighbors. Car alarms work because they bring attention to the vehicle. Whether it is in a parking lot or parked on a quiet city street, the deterrent of the car alarm has been proven effective

Satellite Tracking Devices

With GPS products now being very popular, one of the ways that you can thwart your car being stolen and never recovered is to place a small GPS tracking device in your vehicle. If your vehicle is ever stolen, you can quickly pinpoint the location of the vehicle on a digital map. Many satellite tracking devices also automatically contact the local police department to help recover your vehicle quickly before any additional damage can be done. While this technology is great for the average car, if you have a luxury vehicle or exotic sports car, this security device should be a mandatory purchase.

Steering Wheel Locks

A low tech car security device that is a great deterrent is a steering wheel lock. These easy to spot and effective items make it very difficult and nearly impossible to drive the vehicle by keeping the steering wheel forced into a limited range of motion. Of course, someone with a tow truck or flatbed can still steal your vehicle, but for the ordinary thief that doesn’t have a huge selection of tools at his disposal, steering wheel locks make stealing a car a very tedious and risky proposition. Steering wheel locks are not only low tech, but very affordable with prices starting at about $20.

Car Safety

June 27th, 2008 by Shenron

We depend on our cars everyday to transport the most important things in our lives- our family. And while car safety has improved over the years there are many items that can be extremely effective in helping your family be safe in your vehicle.

Tire Pressure

While tire pressure is not an innovation or new car safety technology it is one of the things that you can easily do to make your vehicle much more safer and even more economical to drive due to gas savings. Many vehicles are driven with under inflated tires. Under inflated tires can cause a wide range of problems including handling when turning and handling at high speeds. The problem is that many people are unaware that their vehicle has under inflated tires. Every family should take the simple step of checking tire pressure regularly. You can find the tire’s correct pressure rating on the side of the driver’s door or in the car’s user manual. Most gas stations that have air pumps also have an air gauge to check the pressure. However, you can spend $10 and purchase an air gauge for your self.

Hands Free Communication Devices

It’s a fact that driving your vehicle while talking on the phone with your handset up to your ear can be extremely distracting. The more distractions to the driver, the less the driver is able to focus on the road and drive defensively. One way to limit (but not eliminate) the distraction of talking on the phone while driving is with a hands free device.

Hands free devices can be quite simple to use. Many are just headphones or a head set that plugs into your phone’s earphone jack. This enables the driver to carry on a conversation with both hands on the wheel. For phones that have Bluetooth technology, a form of short range wireless technology, you can set up a speaker and microphone in your vehicle to listen to and talk to those that call you in your vehicle. Many car manufacturers today are installing these systems in new cars, or you can spend a couple of hundred bucks for after market products.

Rear Parking Sensors/Rearview Cameras

Many new car manufacturers are implementing digital camera technology into their vehicles. Using DVD/Navigational screens already installed, small digital cameras (similar to webcams) are strategically placed in the rear or side of the vehicle to give the driver a clear view of what is behind him or her. Great for larger vehicles such as SUV’s and minivans, these rear parking sensors/rearview cameras are perfect for those that find they have many blind spots. This can help reduce the incident of running over objects such as kid’s toys or hitting pedestrians behind you when backing out of a driveway or parking lot.
