Product Description
A concise and thoroughly practical guide to building and installing car alarms. The project-based approach makes this book ideal for students and hobbyists; design and installation engineers will also find it of interest.
Every circuit in this book is clearly described and illustrated, and contains components that are easy to source. Advice and guidance are based on real experience, and the designs themselves have been rigorously put to use on some of the most car-crime-ridden streets in the world. The designs in this book include systems as simple as a warning beacon, a range of immobilisers, and a basic alarm system; and more advanced systems that include add-on features such as a personal attack button and a courtesy light delay. Intruder detectors are described, and full constructional details are given including a guide to fault diagnosis and step-by-step installation instructions.

 It could be better February 27, 2002

A good little book with some interesting car security systems, the bad thing is there are some errors in the drawings of printed circuit boards and layouts of components.
Also in the "Basic Alarm System" diagram the author ommited the component list, i.e. values of resistors, capacitors, transistors, etc.
I was able to deduce the components from the component layout but it was for sure laborious.
 Good book for technician. June 19, 2000

This book covers some basic and advance alarm systems, contains quite a lot of pics about electric panels, but I think to read and understand this book is quite hard for general people who are not mechanicians, but It is great for those who have some knowledge and are curious about how these alarms work.
