Best huh? Well the best in my opinion would be the Clifford G5 solaris 5 or avantguard 5.
I have delt with Cliffords for years and been very happy with them. As for what makes it the best:
Life time waranty
Fully programable
You can turn each sencor on and off with the remote, without leaving your eazy chair.
Auto start that will even start you car if the battery starts to get low (great for vacations)(be sure to warn the neighbors)
Coded valet switch
I could keep going for a while, but to make it easy here is the manual.

As for price your looking at about 4 to 5 hundred installed.

Jeremy, the Clifford Avantguard 5 looks like a great security system. I will check out the Clifford website for further information. Is the Avantguard 5 a new model? I would hate to buy a system and then find out that they stopped making parts/accessories for it. Thanks |

Yep that is a 2004 / 2005 model. What makes it even cooler is that it is backwards compatiable with all the G4 sensors. So not only do they still make stuff for it, but the old stuff works too. As for the parts, it doesn't matter if you have the waranty. Even if they stop making it, and the brain goes out, they will either replace it with a new model, or get a new brain of the same model. |

I have honestly never delt with them. They seem to be a mainly British dealer. However looking at the price I would guess they are ok. close to 300 euros is pretty high.
Another good way to tell is check out the people installing them. If you see that a company that caries them is using crimp conectors and so one to make conections then your probably dealing with a lower quality item. If they sodder and shrink tube all the connections (doing a higher quality install) then you are more likely dealing with a higher quality alarm.
Basically comes down to money, why waist time doing a great install on a alarm that is going to take a dump in less that a year. |

they are all the same viper, clifford, autopage just different names. to prove it the company that makes viper has about 6 or 7 alarms equipped with the same options with different names. It all a rip off the clifford has all the same options of an autopage if not more. |
