The best car security system is the one that fits your needs best. There are a lot of choices out there, at different price ranges, but not everyone will need or want a car alarm with 2-way and GPS capability. However, there is a minimum standard for automotive security systems to have in order to do their job of deterrence properly.

There are proximity sensors, which detect movement close to the vehicle, glass breakage sensors and shock sensors which detect blows or impacts to the vehicle and can discriminate light impacts from heavy ones. Sensor quality is a big issue, because sensitivity, discrimination and reliability are important factors to consider between brands. It’s easy to compare two brands with the same types of sensors but you will have to ask around whether the cheaper brand will not constantly trigger false readings or will work reliably a year or two down the road. Immobilizers are a very important feature because when it is triggered, the thief cannot drive away with the car.
