Why the AVS 3010 is the best alarm in the AVS Range

The AVS 3010 is the entry-level alarm from AVS. It is a non-“Star rated” system, yet despite this, I believe it to be the best alarm in their range.

Seriously, let me explain why!

I’ll start off with the siren—it does not have an override key so can be hidden. I’ve said before that I’d have a basic non-battery backup siren over a battery backup siren with an override key any time, as I won’t buy into the marketing spin about these systems offering more protection.

The amusing thing here is that the AVS 3010+ comes with a battery backup siren (with override key) and costs more money!

I’m sure that most car thieves would simply snap the flimsy siren bracket, then drop the siren into a bucket of water! This begs the question: why would anyone pay more money for an AVS 3010+?

Better Remote Controls

The remote controls have the same case as all the other AVS alarms, so they still break where the key ring attaches, but the 3010 has separate lock and unlock buttons, which make it far more user-friendly.

Remote Security

The remote controls on the 3010 require the PIN number for coding. OK, there are limited code options (5-15), but this is still less vulnerable to remote cloning than the AVS A4 or S Series.

Dual Immobiliser

The 3010 has two immobiliser cuts which are active when the alarm is armed. While there is no attack-proof security housing for the immobiliser, it still offers a similar level of protection as the AVS A4 and S Series, neither of which can really claim to have an attack-proof housing!

The thing I like most about the 3010 is that you know what you are getting, and it is not hiding behind a Star rating system that misleads you into thinking it is effective.

Also available as an AVS 3010+, which has a battery backup siren and vibration sensor!
