Thatcham category 1 alarm
There
are many Thatcham
category 1 alarms on the market but before making a choice you must
find out if your vehicle has a category 2 immobiliser already installed.
Newer UK spec cars have them factory fitted as standard for the UK market
but if your car has not been important by the manufacturer or is very
old then it is unlikely to be fitted with a cat 2. A Thatcham
category 1 alarm upgrade is all you need for cars with an existing cat
2 immobiliser otherwise choose a cat 1 alarm and immobiliser.
Thatcham
category 1 alarms differ from soft top cars and hard top cars and you
will need to buy an alarm with a microwave interior sensor for an open
top car. All other vehicles can be fitted with a Thatcham
cat 1 alarm with either an ultrasonic interior sensor or microwave sensor.
If
you have a small car or limited on space then look out for compact Thatcham
category 1 alarms that is both small in size and has the siren and electronic
brain in one unit. Cobra 7928, Toad C5T Thatcham
cat 1 alarm are all compact in design.
Universal
Thatcham category 1 alarms come with a pair of high security
remote controls that operate the central locking and arm and disarm
the alarm. If you prefer to use your existing remotes you can buy a
Thatcham cat 1 alarm that utilises the cars
remotes provided that they are compatible with Thatcham high security
specification.
All
Thatcham category 1 alarms have basic features like; perimeter
detection, ignition detection, passenger compartment movement detection
or glass break and inclination detection, high security remotes, audible
warning with battery back-up power supply. Extra sensors and accessories
like; dual zone pre warning bleep, radio or SMS pager, tilt or motion
