1. An on-board diagnostics (OBD) device comprising:
- an OBD connector configured to connect to a corresponding vehicle OBD connector of a vehicle, the OBD connector including a plurality of contacts for contacting corresponding vehicle contacts of the vehicle OBD connector, the plurality of contacts including at least a ground contact and a battery power contact, the ground and battery power contacts contacting corresponding ground and battery power contacts of the vehicle OBD connector;
a voltage sensor coupled to the ground and battery power contacts of the OBD connector;
a wireless transceiver;
one or more processing devices coupled to the voltage sensor and the wireless transceiver;
one or more data storage mediums coupled to the one or more processing devices, the one or more data storage mediums including instructions which, when executed by the one or more processing devices, cause the one or more processing devices to;
monitor a voltage of the battery power contact via the voltage sensor;
determine based on changes in the voltage whether a vehicle security alarm of the vehicle has been set-off; and
if it is determined that the vehicle alarm has been set-off, send an alert to a remote device via the wireless transceiver, the alert indicating that the vehicle security alarm has been set-off.

Abstract
Embodiments for an on-board diagnostics (OBD) device are provided herein. The OBD device can monitor a voltage of a battery power contact via a voltage sensor and determine based on changes in the voltage whether a vehicle security alarm of a vehicle has been set-off. If it is determined that the vehicle alarm has been set-off, the OBD device can send an alert to a remote device via a wireless transceiver, wherein the alert indicates that the vehicle security alarm has been set-off.
