Most Secure Car Alarm and Security Strategy
by Thomas Kibui 04 Apr '14

04 Apr '14

Hi, Last week my car was vandalized and the alarm went off for only a few seconds before they managed to silence it, disable the immobilizer, start the car and drive it away .. all in in under 5 mins. Anyway, it was recovered abandoned later by the cops but the "security" components (alarm itself + immobilizer) and a big chunk of the dashboard and steering column components had been damaged. I had installed Auto Watch (make) but if it takes only takes 5 mins to crack it open then its not worth it.. After they fix the dashboard and steering column, I have to buy another system and have it installed.. What is the best car alarm system available in the market (Kenya) today or better what is the best security strategy to secure the car using technology ? Kindly share your views and comments Best Regards

Hi people, Could any of you recommend a Rwanda-based SMS short code and gateway services API provider? I would like to have a web application send and receive SMS messages to and from mobile phones in Rwanda, using a dedicated Rwandese short code. Integration with this gateway provider should be via web APIs. Regards, Joseph.

Steve, The one who implemented the idea where you are luckily had his own space, but he did not just sit and wait to sink. He went ahead and partitioned the office. For the starters of such locally we just need to have the right people and attitude. If lets say get like 10 guys, we sit and agree on terms then we raise like Ksh50,000 and deposit on a common account, we sit and draw a workable common business plan with interest of each. Boom! in months we will be on the runway. Lets not wait for magic. James.
