How is this car alarm??
http://cgi.ebay.com/VISION-GUARD-600...QQcmdZViewItem

The whole camera thing doesnt really wow me but i just want a good alarm with options (glass break, shock, tilt, pager that actually works) I curently have an autopage alarm that i hate i have to be within 100 feet for it to work and the remote start works when it wants to. I was thinking about the viper 791xv until i saw this but i dont know. Thanks -Rick

Clifford G5, if you want to pay the premium price. IIRC there may be some sort of range extender? I could be completely wrong...

Hey Guys. I was thinking about the Viper 5000. Any thoughts on it or opinions as to how good it is?

There is actually a video for the alarm that the thread-starter posted:

http://asianwolf.com/5100rs/8000rs.wmv

It mentions that the camera feature is "coming" (along with MP3 alarm sounds) but it still sounds cheesy to me. The color display on the remote looks slick but it strikes me as a bit of a gimmick.
