The legendary Laserline plip upgrade alarm model 278. This was the equivalent to the Cobra system 3868 but these were better due to the alarm alarm ECU being mounted inside the vehicle rather than the siren . The great part about these systems is the emergency override tag   in case you loose your original vehicle remote you could still turn it off.  The Laserline 278 uses a loud 120db Siren which is supported by a back up battery inside the unit. This means if the siren is disconnected while armed the siren will trigger instantly and keep sounding.

The system also features nice sleek ultrasonic sensors which are white in colour and match most headlinings perfectly. The ultrasonic sensors are used to detect movement inside the vehicles cabin when the alarm is armed. These are fully adjustable so you never need to worry about false alarms. The Laserline 278 uses the original vehicle remote to arm and disarm meaning you have no extra controls to worry about when arming or disarming your alarm. The system picks up the main feeds from the central locking module and on some vehicles even the indicator flash can be used to detect the system is being disarmed by the remote and not the key.

Its a full Thatcham Cat 1 once installed onto your vehicle by an approved Laserline engineer if your vehicle was produced after 1996. Extras can be added such as Tilt and microwave sensors, with a alarm being made in Italy the quality is outstanding. We supply and fit Laserline Alarms in Essex  

The most reliable basic alarm and immobiliser system ever made in the world. The Cobra G4693 is the new replacement for the Cobra G193 and you might be asking why is this important. In all honesty it’s not any different from a normal G193 in terms of appearance to the normal G line series. The main difference is way its installed for an installer this system is more helpful in the way of more inputs and better features were it can be customised to a higher / better level that the previous level.

The controls, LED / pin override, Ultrasonics remain the same as they have done for many years. It still features a single circuit immobiliser which is very secure because even if the control unit is unplugged the vehicle still won’t start. Meaning a casual thief won’t be able to get the vehicle started . With the new loud 118DB siren you can be assured you will hear your vehicles being attacked.

The Cobra systems are now also branded as Vodafone automotive and there are currently no installation instructions provided in the box due to these systems being aimed as a professional only fit product. 

Meta is the largest tracking system provider in the world and they have dominated the tracking world in Italy. Meta have always made solid vehicle security products even years ago when the company Smartrack first started they used Meta for all there installations. Meta have now decided to enter the UK market place with a tracker that will give you extreme quality but also the very best bang for buck. As with all tracking systems they are going to give a wide range of products depending on your requirements. First of all the Thatcham Cat 6 unit is a stolen vehicle recovery system which will offer superior protection with on board tilt and motion along with a back up battery in case the vehicles power is disconnected. These Thatcham Cat 6 units are designed for vehicles worth up to the value of £90.000.

If you own a prestige car over the value of £90.000 you will normally be requested by your insurer to fit a Thatcham Cat 5 product, this is the ultimate system in the stolen vehicle tracking world. Thatcham Cat 5 has a starter cut immobilisation loop which means the starter won’t engage once the tracking head office immobilise the vehicle. The plus side to this unit is the ADR cards which are used to identify the correct driver is driving the vehicle. If for example a thief gets in the vehicle and drives away without an ADR card being present this will trigger an alert meaning you will get a call from head office.

As with all modern tracking devices it will have on board jamming detection and excellent GPS ability giving exact vehicle positioning in the event your vehicle is stolen. Meta are also releasing a non Thatcham approved unit which is great for customers that wish to keep an eye on there car but don’t require a Thatcham approved unit.
