Have you ever walked into a shopping mall after leaving your car at the parking lot but suddenly you’re not sure if you have lock your car?. Or have you ever left your car key locked inside the car due to auto armed alarm system?. These are the common scenarios that car owners encounter. But these are nothing compared to serious incidents like car hijack or car theft. But how to prevent this?.

With the advancement in the hybdrid GPS Security System, we could avoid these. But why in the first place we need something like this when most of modern cars are equipped with state-of-the art alarm system with passive immobilizer?.

Well, alarm system has been around for decades. And most of the cars involves in car theft are well equipped with this device. But people just don’t bother of the sound that comes from alarm nowadays because they are used to it. How many times do we really look at a car around you when the alarm triggered?. We tend to think that it’s just a false alarm, aren’t we?.

Tramigo is one of the solution available in the market that gives car owners a peace of mind when it comes to car security. This Finland technology does not only provide ultimate security but also work as a logistics/fleet management for corporate vehicles.

The Tramigo T22 Car Tracking Device connects directly to your cellphone and works with any mobile phones that uses the Short Message Service (SMS). Tramigo unique local Landmark Data combined with GPS positioning allows you to know your vehicle whereabout.

You just need to have a working SIM card, be it a postpaid or prepaid, so you don’t have to pay a annual fee to the operator like other GPS security system. What you need to pay is only the charges for the standard SMS services and also the minimum monthly fee (because you’re not making calls from the SIM).

The installation is pretty simple with the supplied manual, but I personally think it’s better to get qualified technician to install it for you. It can be concealed into your car dashboard, including the GPS antenna. It uses the vehicle’s battery so you don’t have to worry about power source. Additionally, there is a backup battery that can last for couple of days in case of power outage.

Some if the T22 features are:

• Motion Sensing (you will receive SMS if someone try to temper your car)

• Remote Alarm Activator (you can arm/disarm the alarm from anywhere)

• Microphone (to hear any conversation occurs in your car when someone is using your car, or when it’s stolen)

• Zone Reporting (you can set a zone for your car, so when it drives out from certain radius, it will send you an SMS)

• Immobiling

I have been using this product for couple of months and I’m completely satisfied. My favourite feature is Zone Reporting as Tramigo will notify me instantly if my car cross the pre-defined border. And recently, I was shocked when receiving a text message informing that my car has left my office while I was driving, only to realize I forgot to turn off the zone reporting mode after leaving office!.
