GSM car alarm system Despite all the security features of the above systems, they have one common drawback inherent in all "classical" two-sided systems - the range of control and feedback. In the characteristics of any "two-sided" the maximum values of the signal transceiver distance are indicated, which in practice considerably (sometimes tens of times) may differ (of course, in the smaller direction). Therefore, if you are ready to allocate more than 3500 UAH for signaling, it is recommended to consider GSM signaling Magnum, which do not have such drawbacks. Feedback in these systems is carried out via GSM-channel. GSM car alarm has a built-in GSM-module, - by analogy with a mobile phone, a SIM card of any GSM operator is inserted into the signaling slot.

The main differences of GSM signaling Magnum from traditional systems are unlimited in range communication. The car owner always has the ability to control the alarm functions from the phone: at any time, you can call the car's security system and listen to the state in which the security system is on the phone. Remotely through the phone, you can also control the alarm - remove / arm the system, and start / mute the engine. It should be noted that the engine can be started not only remotely, but also on the lower voltage value on the battery, as well as on the lower and / or upper value of the ambient temperature.

One Way Car Alarm Keychain A traditional one-way keychain is used to control the system. The advantage of such a keyfob is compactness (in comparison with the key fob of a two-sided system). The feedback system is implemented only on the mobile phone through voice dialing and, if necessary, SMS messages. The number of feedback numbers is specified in the system settings.

In the keyfob systems, a unique method of signal coding is used - the dynamic code of MCC's own development, which is considered to be unbreakable.

Car alarm Magnum 8 series equipped with a built-in impact sensor and an inclination / displacement sensor. This allows you to protect the car from unauthorized loading or transportation by an evacuator, removing wheels and other actions by intruders. It is also possible to equip the system with a volume sensor that will protect the interior of the car interior and the perimeter. The alarm will give a warning signal when the person is in the immediate vicinity (at a distance of half a meter) from the car, (for example, when looking through the car glass or trying to remove the wipers). The microphone for listening to the salon will help you to understand what exactly is happening in the car when any of the sensors operate or listen to what's happening inside in some other situations.

In the event of an alarm, the notification is as follows. Up to three different numbers for voice and three additional numbers for SMS notifications can be programmed into the system. The system dials to the first programmed number and reports on which protected area triggered the alarm. If this number is busy or out of the network, the system will dial the next assigned number. Similarly, the system makes three attempts to dial each number.

Additional functions of GSM-car alarms

In addition to all common security features, the system has a huge number of interesting additional functions. The alarm has the function of an immobilizer - protecting the car from violent car theft with the ability to simulate engine malfunction.

It is always possible to determine the coordinates of the car. Using the USSD request, you can get the approximate location of the vehicle by means of a telecom operator. To obtain accurate GPS coordinates, you can connect a separately purchased GPS module.

Another important point - all low-voltage outputs of the unit are protected by self-healing fuses, which are located directly in the Magnum car alarms. In the event of incorrect connection or failure of any equipment operated by Magnum, the outputs of the unit itself will not burn, and if the problem is solved, the low-current outputs of the system will work properly.

Magnum car alarms (so-called Slave systems) can be installed on cars equipped with a standard central lock with remote control. If from the factory the car assumes a remote opening in any of the options, then in such a car it is possible to use the regular Magnum systems; the alarm control will occur together or in parallel with the standard signaling from the "factory" car charms.

In the Magnum line of alarms, there are systems in which the CAN module is built-in from the well-known manufacturer TEC electronics. This module allows you to dock Magnum systems with any modern car equipped with a digital CAN bus. Most importantly, - when installing a security system, a minimum of interventions in the standard wiring of the car itself (that is, the number of connection points of the alarm itself to the wiring of the car is minimized). All conventional two-way systems without a CAN-module, as a rule, imply a serious enough intervention in the wiring of the car, which can sometimes lead to incorrect operation of the standard electronic auto units.

The system itself with the built-in CAN module costs a little more than other alarms, but this is compensated by the correct operation of the system itself, a shorter installation time and, correspondingly, a lower cost of installation of the security system in the car.

Control from your smartphone and work in harsh weather conditions

Magnum Elite MH-845 и MH-885 Separately it is necessary to note the advanced functional of the models Magnum Elite MH-845 and MH-885. In these systems, the ability to control the alarms using a special application for phones and devices on the Android OS, and in the future there will be an application for iOS for Apple iPhone devices. With the help of a smartphone or tablet you can control almost all the functions of car alarm with the usual intuitive menu of the application. The Magnum Elite MH-845 and MH-885 security systems contain built-in power relays required for engine startup, central locking, additional channels, etc..

The severity of the climate and the permissible temperature ranges in which the GSM car alarm Magnum can work does not even need to be said, since the manufacturer has foreseen practically everything - up to a special heating of the GSM module and SIM card at -40 degrees Celsius!

Some potential customers are frightened by the financial issue of servicing GSM alarms. But you just have to think - how often does any security system work (once a month?) And how expensive is the minute of cellular communication (how many dozen kopecks?). The answer is obvious - the annual cost of communication is 10-20 times less than buying an "auto citizen" policy.

When choosing a SIM card for GSM-signaling, two key points are as follows:

— the same operator of communication is chosen, as well as at the owner of the car;
— the tariff is chosen without obligatory replenishment, which for today is available for all Ukrainian mobile operators.

The account must be replenished once, for example, by 40 hryvnias and this money should be enough for a very long time, with a normally set alarm for at least a year. As a result, it can be said that this signaling is almost equivalent to the cost of servicing the system with conventional two-way systems, in the key fobs of which it is necessary to change the battery several times a year.

If you want to reliably protect your car, communicate with it, receive an alarm message in time and at any time know that with the car, it is enough to confine yourself to GSM-systems Magnum worth a little more than 1000 UAH. - They have all the standard security functions.

Of all the current security systems Magnum - one of the most reliable systems, because they are assembled on the Korean line Samsung Electronics and, in addition, produced in Ukraine. This explains why, with the presence of functions that can only be invented, Magnum security systems are relatively inexpensive.
