Some of these systems also include a cellular phone for verbal communication with the operator at the central station. The cellular phone also allows the operator to listen in on what is happening in the car, an ideal feature if you are being car jacked. Moreover, some of these systems include a "panic button" to alert the operator at the central station that there is a medical emergency and help is required. Some also include a feature that permits you to track your own car via the Internet. The technology also allows the system to monitor the operation of your vehicle so that the central-station operator can alert you to any mechanical problems.
