optional sensors?

I've read in some forums that when installing a DEI alarm to choose and install 2 of these: - glass break - tilt - 2-stage shock (AU84TA) I'm ready to install this alarm (Cliff IG 770) with backup siren and battery. But I need some help comparing these 3 sensors (are there others recommended?) and why I should choose one or the other (or the other ;-) ). The alarm comes with a "Clifford Omnisensor" (shock sensor). It's a little larger than an ice cube, black (no part number). Is this not a good one? Any experience, comments, good and bad, welcome. Thanks,

And why only 2 sensors? Why not all 3?

The only sensor worth having is the G5 digital dual zone proximity. It will warn away before the others and is remote adjustable. With the omni, that's really all you need. The others are expensive overkill and prone to falsing. Tilt; early versions were extremely prone to instant falsing. You're better off with a good set of locking wheel nuts. Glass break, absolute waste, the dual zone proxy should have already warned away. Shock, why when you already have an Omnisensor. In fact and this is the point, when properly set up, (I used to drive the car slowly into a mattress, a friend who was a techie at Clifford would hit the Omnisensor with a rubber hammer) it acts as a glass breaker, and shock sensor anyway.

Won't this get falsed by pedestrians walking on the sidewalk right next to the car?

The omni is not a proxy sensor, it's a shock sensor: Clifford sensors

I think you mean to say that the G5 dual-zone proxy is the only sensor you need, yes? Thanks,

Yes, because as you rightly said the omni is simply an extremely sophisticated shock sensor that will suffice (with the possible exception of tilt) as a sub for both shock and glass break.

I'm confused. Are you saying keep the omni and add the dual-zone proxy? Or ditch all sensors except the proxy? Thanks,

Keep the omni. Add prox, the G5 Clifford, NOT the 508d. Possibly tilt. What vehicle, make and model?

'89 Camry LE. Not valuable, but mine and I keep tools in the trunk (stolen once). It's #3 on the FBI most-stolen list not for value but because it's easy for punks to steal (with just a screwdriver!).

Ah, someone with my lifestyle! Owned a couple of Maxis and Camrys, great for discreet tool storage. Can you get Yale type trunk locks in the US? Bit obvious but more secure.
