Impact Detection
Responds to supported impacts on the vehicle. Light contact and scratches may not create enough disturbance to trigger a response.

Start with your concern
What are you worried about?
Choose a concern to see what’s included, what’s optional, and what needs a closer look.
This tool identifies a direction worth discussing, not a compatibility result. We’ll review your exact vehicle, installed equipment, and intended use.
Included with the alarm package
Impact Detection
Our primary alarm packages include Impact Detection for supported vehicle impacts. A scratch, light touch, or small bump may not trigger the alarm.
Tell us about: the contact you’re worried about, where you park, and your current alarm.
Review This Concern No sensor detects every event or guarantees protection.Included with our primary alarm packages
Start with what your alarm already watches for.
Tilt Detection
Helps notice supported angle changes associated with lifting or jacking. It cannot physically stop wheel theft or detect every lifting event.
Vehicle openings
Doors, hood, trunk, and hatch are reviewed individually. Monitoring depends on the vehicle and the installed alarm integration.
Optional detection upgrade
Worried about broken glass?
Glass Break Detection
+$75Adds acoustic detection for the sound of breaking automotive glass while retaining Impact + Tilt Detection. The same $75 upgrade applies to all three primary alarm packages.
- Listens for a different kind of event than impact sensing
- Keeps your core Impact + Tilt Detection
- Confirmed for your vehicle and compatible alarm before installation
Uses the compatible Compustar DAS-II configuration in place of the standard sensor. Impact and Tilt Detection remain included.
Concern illustration, not a map of included coverage or installation locations.
What to expect
Glass construction, cabin acoustics, the event itself, installation, and vehicle configuration affect detection. Neither impact sensing nor Glass Break Detection guarantees that every broken window is detected.
Vehicle-specific installed quote
Need something more specific?
Glass Break Detection is +$75. Other specialty sensors and add-ons are quoted for your vehicle, current system, equipment, and required work.
Interior movement
Discuss compatible cabin or reach-in detection. Vehicle layout, open windows, convertible roof position, pets, and moving cargo can affect suitability and unwanted alerts.
Specialty openings & cargo
Work-van doors, caps, compartments, toolboxes, and unusual access points each need a review. Tell us how many openings you use, their weather exposure, and your daily routine.
Backup power / backup siren
Explore compatible options for power-interruption concerns. Available equipment, finite runtime, charging, maintenance, and response vary by installation.
Existing Compustar upgrade
Some supported Compustar systems, including eligible remote-start installations, have an approved alarm-upgrade path. We inspect the exact equipment and condition first.
Detection and communication do different jobs
The sensor notices it. How do you want to know?
Local response
An eligible siren or light response draws attention near the vehicle. A one-way alarm remote does not receive event feedback.
2-way remote
Supported event information can return to a compatible remote within working RF range.
Connected phone alerts
Compatible DroneMobile hardware and active service can send supported information through the app beyond normal RF range.
Sensors determine what the vehicle notices. Your alarm package determines how information reaches you.
Phone alerts depend on equipment, power, cellular coverage, account access, an active plan, app permissions, and phone settings. Delivery is not guaranteed. GPS location and geofencing are separate from alarm-event detection; dashcams add video evidence.
About DroneMobileUseful detection
More sensitivity is not automatically better.
Too little
The event you want noticed may not reach the sensor’s threshold. Review whether the detection fits your concern.
Appropriate
Match the equipment to the vehicle, account for its surroundings, and test the intended response.
Too much
Traffic vibration, exhaust, storms, pets, moving cargo, and normal vehicle movement can cause unwanted interruptions.
No universal setting guarantees every event is detected or eliminates all nuisance alerts.
Has your alarm’s behavior changed?
Let us check the vehicle and system before making adjustments.
Vehicle fit
Will it work with my vehicle?
Start with the year, make, model, and what is already installed. We may also ask about trim, powertrain, transmission, and how you start the vehicle.
Tell us about your current alarm, remote start, sensors, accessories, previous electrical work, battery condition, warning lights, and where and how you use the vehicle.
Existing equipment may accept an addition, need inspection or repair, require different equipment, or be incompatible with the requested feature.
Check My VehicleInstalled, tested & explained
Know what you’re getting. Know how to use it.
Define the concern

Confirm the equipment
Review compatibility, included detection, additions, price, and the response to expect.
Install, test & explain
We professionally install and test the included features, then explain normal use, service and transport needs, and when to contact us.
Realistic expectations & local support
Stay informed. Respond safely.
Useful protection has limits
Sensors cannot guarantee every event is detected, every alert is delivered, theft prevention, property protection, recovery, or zero nuisance alerts. Tilt may help with supported lifting events; towing and transport concerns need individual review.
Do not confront someone after an alert. Contact authorities where appropriate. Security equipment does not replace safe ownership or insurance.
Keep us in the loop
Battery condition, service work, accessories, suspension, parking environment, and connected-service status can change behavior. Maintain batteries and plans, protect remotes and accounts, and contact us if operation changes.
Manufacturer coverage follows the exact product’s terms, registration requirements, and exclusions. Shop workmanship is separate.
A few useful answers
Before you choose.
What detection is included with the alarm packages?
Essential Security, 2-Way Security, and Connected Security include Impact + Tilt Detection. Doors, hood, trunk, and hatch monitoring depend on the vehicle and installed alarm integration. The package progression is mainly how information reaches you.
How much is Glass Break Detection, and do I keep Impact + Tilt?
Glass Break Detection is +$75 with any of our three primary alarm packages. It adds acoustic detection for the sound of breaking automotive glass while retaining Impact + Tilt Detection. The compatible Compustar DAS-II configuration replaces the standard sensor; it is not a second sensor stacked beside it.
Can Glass Break Detection be added to every vehicle?
No. We confirm the exact vehicle, alarm platform, installed equipment, and current condition before approving the addition. An existing system may need inspection, repair, or different equipment.
Which detection helps with wheel theft or towing?
Tilt Detection helps address supported angle changes associated with lifting or jacking. It cannot physically stop wheel theft and does not detect every lifting or towing event. Other movement concerns need individual review; GPS location is a separate function.
Will Impact Detection notice every broken window?
No. It responds to supported force transferred through the vehicle. Acoustic Glass Break Detection addresses a different event, but glass construction, cabin acoustics, and the event itself affect response. Neither guarantees every broken window is detected.
Can I protect a work-van door, cap, or toolbox?
Potentially. Each opening, compartment, weather exposure, and access routine must be reviewed. Specialty additions are quoted for your vehicle, installed system, equipment, integration, and required work. Glass Break Detection remains the approved +$75 upgrade.
Can Interior Movement Detection work in a convertible?
It may suit a compatible installation. Vehicle layout, open windows, roof position, wind, pets, and moving cargo can affect suitability and nuisance-alert risk. Tell us how you normally use the cabin.
Can my existing Compustar system be upgraded?
Some supported Compustar installations, including eligible remote-start systems, have an approved alarm-upgrade path. We inspect the exact equipment, accessories, and condition before confirming included detection, additional equipment, and price.
Can DroneMobile tell me what triggered the alarm?
Only supported event information from your installed system can be reported. Alarm equipment, sensors, compatible connected hardware, an active plan, account access, app permissions, phone settings, power, and signal affect what reaches you. Smartphone alerts are communication, not a sensor, and delivery is not guaranteed.
What if my alarm is too sensitive?
Request a sensor review. Traffic vibration, exhaust, storms, pets, cargo, normal movement, battery condition, and vehicle changes can affect behavior. The goal is an appropriate response for your vehicle and surroundings, not the highest sensitivity. No setting guarantees zero nuisance alerts.
