Hey Guys;

I have been looking for an Alarm System for my ATV, a quick search of the internet gives a few choices like 'GORILLA', 'Scorpio' and 'ARMED GUARD' - all the same sort of thing with remote on/off, tilt sensor and a LOUD siren all for around $100.00.

SUPER! - I want one!... but any reviews I read are 4 years old.

Has time proven these things to be a poor investment or did people just stop talking about them?

Any ideas?

 

Get a good lock and a cut resistant cable. Secure it first. Make it so they have to carry it. With a 600 or 700 lb machine, they will move on to easier pickings.

 

I just bought a cable lock alarm for my Outy 800 XT-P.If the cable gets cut a 120 db alarm goes off.You can get many different lengths and lock up anything.Ebay has them starting around 12$

 

Case harden chain and an armory lock?...just dont misplace the key..without a burning bar the lock is not comming off

Be honest if I was going to jack an ATV anyone with a lock I would move on to a diff one alot of folks just park them in there yards no lock no nothing..or a dealer ...they seem to leave them out side if the dealer is big enough.....5 yrs as a cop here I don't recall anyone getting a locked atv stolen..its the unlocked ones that get taken ripped apart and sold.

Hey Guys;

I asked about an electronic alarm.

I already have a cable and lock that I bought at the local hardware store for about $10.00.

If you go to this web site;

ATV Cables and Chains: BIKEBONE

and look at the security systems available they do include locks and chains for roughly the same money that I can buy an alarm for (~$130.00). They must be one tough set of locks for that price!

But I was looking for an opinion on ‘Electronic Alarms’ that feature Tilt Sensors, Immobilization, and Current sensors all with a 120 db alarm to scare off a thief and alert me.

If no one has tried such a device… OK … let me be the first.

But a $130.00 expense in a Quad is a small investment to keep it safe and in MY GARAGE.

In MY Humble Opinion

CRIMESCENE - thank you for your take on the situation, It makes me feel better - whether I am using just a lock and cable or the Electronic Alarm - it's nice to know that my ATV will STILL be around in the morning.

Happy Trails.

 

The cable lock alarm has a sensor that will set it off even if it is moved or bumped as well as if its cut.For the price i dont think you can wrong.You can also lock up other stuff to it as well

 

i've got a brand new alarm i'll sell for $95+shipping.its the best money can buy, remote start,flashing lights, motion sensor,2 key rings..........i've used same type for years......
