Quicktrack Alarm System

[kgangulw]

Hi,

i'm looking at installing this alarm system. but i'm trying to research on it first but can't seem to find any info on it. does anyone here have a link to any good websites? i tried googling, but can't find it. thanks

I've heard they're pretty shite and the company is going out of business.

Apparently the area tha quicktrack monitors is pretty poor, some say its a triangle in the city centre of sydney and thats about it.

Thats just what ive heard so take it with a grain of salt.

I've seen a couple of alternatives besides quiktrak:

And

I have not used any of them and don't know much about them. But if you do end up buying one I'd be curious to opinions

Hi kgangulw,

I am an authorised installer of Quik Trak's. DONT BUY ONE!

Quik track is a fair alarm system, if you live work and only ever travel within its coverage zones.

For a better product, check out the car minder system, it works on GSM technology, which means depending on the sim card you put in it the coverage will be huge. ( a lot larger than quik track will ever be)

You will also save on the monitoring fees because you will only be paying for a sim card. I usually recommend something like a cheap optus/voda plan. Telstra SUCK!

You will get similar functions to a quiktrack but you will have access to it from any phone on the planet.

EG - car is stolen with your mobile phone in the console

- go to phone box

- call car

- shut down motor

- get gps position

- recover car

Easy, Just make sure the people putting in the system know what they are doing.

Please note, i do not work for either carminder, quiktrack or Cobra, I am just referring you to a better product.

pj,

I'm going to play devils addvocate here ( and yes I'm a dealer also.)

what say I find a nice 33 and have a GSM jammer handy? that is going to kill the GSM side of the unit long enough for me to find it ( if its tucked under the dash) and turf it. welll installed - not a problem I'll move on.

I like the quicktrak system for one reason- you cannot jam it. you are correct onthe downfalls though range is great if youare in the coverage area.

I know of another system that is GSM based you you can track yourself but I have yet to lay hands on it or try my 'toy' on it so I cannot comment.

other point.

shut down car. that poses a legal problem to the person that fitted it and the person that pushes the button on the car

this is great, thanks for all the info. From the looks of things Quik trak doesn't have much of a high opion. I'll most likely go with Car minder, has anyones used? Any info would be nice on how good it is as well. thanks
