iPad running the Viper SmartStart app (via my pictures at CES 2012)
The technology shown at this year’s Consumer Electronics Show has a tremendous amount of security innovations alongside the typical gadget heap, and Viper (car alarm systems) is not to be dismissed with their remote system, SmartStart. Viper’s system uses an app for Android, iPhone or Blackberry allowing users to remotely take control of some of your vehicles features.
The simple UI app lets you remote-start your automobile along with unlocking doors and engaging your alarm. In addition the system uses GPS to help you to locate your vehicle if it’s lost or stolen and can even be integrated into your home security system which can be monitored from the app as well! SmartStart can be used on multiple vehicles which are great for families and has a range of 1 mile for remote automation of your automobile (not the GPS). The Viper SmartStart system is available now with prices ranging from $399 US for the VSS3000 up to $599 US for the top of the line VSS5000 systems respectively. Each package has standard features that include Smart Alerts (text messages), vehicle personalization (your own pic) and passcode protection among others.
