While car alarms can be very effective, some people still ignore them or cannot recognize that the alarm is coming from their vehicle. That is why Ford’s SecuriAlert app (formerly known as Guard Mode) is now available to car owners for the first time.
Peace of mind for Ford owners on June 10, 2021, 9:38
In a nutshell: Ford is rolling out a new connected security system that it hopes will bring added peace of mind to vehicle owners. The smartphone-connected system is called SecuriAlert (formerly Guard Mode), and is being rolled out to consumers for the first time following a successful launch with commercial vehicles earlier this year.
When activated, SecuriAlert will send a notification to a vehicle owner’s smartphone if the system detects specific vehicle activity, such as attempts to open a door or even if someone tries to gain entry using a key.

Ford has just released a new feature for its FordPass Pro security app. The phone application now comes with a new feature called Guard Mode and was designed for its vans such as the Ford Transit. As the name suggests, it connects your smartphone to your vehicle’s security system and alerts the owners through notifications and alarms if there is a potential security breach.
The new feature utilizes sensors already installed on the vehicle straight from the factory to detect if someone has opened the hood, trunk, or cargo area. Further, still, it detects if someone enters the vehicle and tries to start the vehicle. On top of this, the app is also able to record every time the vehicle was accessed when its alarm was triggered, and its last known location.

Given all the lockdowns and law enforcement on the streets, we reckon people in this industry don’t have it easy either. And for those working in the stealing (from) cars sector, things are about to get even nastier. 1 photo
