Hey hoping some of you can give me your opinions. I have two alarms sitting here at the moment - one is a warlock alarm with microwave sensor and the other one is an equator alarm that doesn't have microwave sensor but has paging. Both alarms have shock sensors. My questions are which alarm is better and what features would be more important out of the microwave and paging?

details of equator alarm: http://www1.jaycar.com.au/productView.asp?ID=LA896 0&CATID=&keywords=equator&SPECIAL=& ;form=KEYWORD&ProdCodeOnly=&Keyword1=xxxxx xxxxx&Keyword2=xxxxxxxxxx&pageNumber=& priceMin=&priceMax=&SUBCATID=

Also does anybody know much about either brand of alarm? what they're like etc. especially the warlock as I cannot find one bit of information on the net.

Hello,

I've got the Equator alarm with microwave sensor. It doesn't have the pager but it does have the usual ignition immobolizer, bonnet, boot and door sensors. I am going to add a Millenium FX pager to it. I would get the pager Equator alarm because you can always add in a shock sensor and a microwave sensor. Usually those two sensors play up anyway. I had to turn my microwave sensor right down as it was continually set off by just walking past the car.

Im now looking at a $100 do it yourself pager kit. It comes with shock sensor, control box, pager and arial. It is the one that was discussed on the Ford Forums and on here somewhere. This should plug into my alarm.

So once again i'd stick with the pager alarm.

Yeah I decided to stick with the Equator alarm because of the features plus it was free Smile I've also noticed that it came with an ultrasonic sensor. From my understanding based on the cobra alarms web site, microwave is for convertibles and detect movement and ultrasonic is for normal cars and works on movement of air i think. something like that anyway.

I think my microwave sensor is a Vision.
I have a sort of instruction manual somewhere.

It is on its lowest setting. Still works though, i really need a shock sensor though.
