Viper security systems wrap your vehicle in protection, with the most sophisticated electronic technologies available today. Viper is making a quantum leap in 2007 with the introduction of two exciting new technologies: Color Responder, and One Mile Range remotes using Digital Spread Spectrum Technology (SST). All key Viper technologies are described below:
These new 2-Way Security and Remote Start systems feature the innovative new Color Responder remote, which uses thin-film Organic Light Emitting Diode (OLED) technology to deliver more than 20 eye-catching, 65K full color animations at 10 frames per second. OLED technology has some significant advantages over other color screen technologies: it works brilliantly at night with no backlighting required, draws very little power, and comes with a rechargeable battery and home charger. Color Responder will stimulate your senses like no other remote you’ve ever seen before!

The Ultimate 2-Way Security and Remote Start Systems, with SST One Mile Range! Responder SST systems employ Spread Spectrum Technology, digital frequency hopping and multiple frequency transmission to assure that, if a frequency is blocked, the signal still goes through. Responder SST also uses dual error correction systems to combat signal data corruption and minimize signal interference. The result is rock solid range of up to one full mile!

ESP2 is Directed's exclusive serial communications protocol that allows extra ultra-security, high-speed communication between systems and enables many of Directed's key features.
ESP2Available systems: 210V, 7900, 5900, 791XV, 771XV, 560XV, 5002, 3002, 1002, 350HV, 5500, 571XV, 160XVL, 160XV, 130XV, 211HV
Range is important, and Viper is proud to offer the longest range remotes in our history - up to a full mile using Digital Spread Spectrum Technology (SST). SST uses digital frequency hopping and multiple frequency transmission to assure that, if a frequency is blocked, the signal still goes through.

* One Mile Range based on line of sight, unobstructed testing in ideal conditions. Actual range will vary due to local conditions including but not limited to environment, terrain, physical obstructions, vehicle location and orientation, interference and other possible impediments.

Directed Electronics recently made a significant performance upgrade to the RF receiver section of many of our award-winning security and remote start systems. The new XR+ Extreme Range superheterodyne receiver has an improved sensitivity specification of between 3 dB and 6 DB, which equates to a measurable range increase on the order of 15 percent. It also offers improved image rejection for certain types of RF interference, resulting in improved reliability.
