shouldn't moving a locked car set it's alarm off?
- gambiting 12y agoIt would,but most cars have a way to disable it(in mine if you triple-click the lock button it locks the doors but leaves the alarm off).
- hyperliner 12y agoI dont think the sensors would detect any movement unless a problem happened. The wheels don't rotate and the movement does not seem to have acceleration high enough to trigger the alarm. Many alarms today don't even get triggered when the car is hit by a ball, for example.
- DigitalJack 12y agoThe sound waves from my motorcycle sets them off pretty routinely in parking lots or cars on parked on the street. humorous and oddly satisfying.
- hyperliner 12y agoThis is interesting (never had an annoying alarm)! Seems sound waves create more disturbance for the sensor than an actual blunt impact which is localized to a point on the body and possibly not transferred through the chassis to the sensor.
- bitJericho 12y agoI don't see how it would be an issue. A parking garage is out of the way anyway so wouldn't annoy anybody nearby. Nobody should be in a giant automated garage so nobody to annoy, and any security threat would be monitored for visually not auditorially.
- coroxout 12y agoNot good if the alarm drains the battery though.
- xanderstrike 12y agoNot really a concern unless the cars are being shuffled constantly. It takes a long time for an alarm to drain a battery, believe me I've had some awful neighbors.
