a plurality of door sensors to sense when said plurality of doors of vehicle is being unauthorizably opened and closed in communication with said localized system and contributing to said overall system data;

a plurality of microwave motion sensors and a plurality of shock sensors to protect said vehicle in communication with said localized system and contributing to said overall system data;

a glass breakage sensor to detect when any protected glass of said vehicle is broken in communication with said localized system and contributing to said overall system data;

a GPS system with a plurality of GPS satellites and a GPS base station to produce tracking and descriptive data of said vehicle in communication with said localized system and contributing to said overall system data;

an engine disabling device to shutoff said vehicle when said vehicle alarm system is activated in communication with said localized system and contributing to said overall system data;

a plurality of visual and audible alarms to protect said vehicle in communication with said localized system and contributing to said overall system data; and

a centralized remote computer system to receive and store said overall system data from said localized computer system.

2. The system according to claim 1, wherein said surveillance cameras transmit first video data when activated to said multiplexer and said processor, where said first video data is then recorded on said storage medium of said localized computer system and then transmitted to and stored on said centralized remote computer system.

3. The system according to claim 1, wherein said door sensors transmit a signal to said sensor receivers and said processor activates said surveillance cameras and said visual and audible alarms, which then transmit second video data to said multiplexer, where said second video data is then stored on said storage medium of said localized computer system and then transmitted to and stored on said centralized remote computer system.

4. The system according to claim 1, wherein said motion and shock sensors transmit a signal to said sensor receivers and said processor activates said surveillance cameras and said visual and audible alarms, which then transmit third video data to said multiplexer, where said third video data is then stored on said storage medium of said localized computer system and then transmitted to and stored on said centralized remote computer system.

5. The system according to claim 1, wherein said glass breakage sensor transmits a signal to said sensor receivers and said processor activates said surveillance cameras and said visual and audible alarms, which then transmit fourth video data to said multiplexer, where said fourth video data is then stored on said storage medium of said localized computer system and then transmitted to and stored on said centralized remote computer system.

6. The system according to claim 1, wherein said global positioning system electronically transmits said travel and descriptive data to said localized computer system where said travel and descriptive data is then saved on said storage medium.

7. The system according to claim 6, wherein said localized computer system electronically transmits said travel and descriptive data of said vehicle to and from said user via cellular tower technology and a local police department via the Internet.

8. The system according to claim 7, wherein said travel and descriptive data includes tracked and logged said vehicle location at all times, fifth video data, audio data, still images and a detailed description of what happened to said vehicle.

9. The system according to claim 1, wherein said user can use said system to lock and unlock said doors, activate said visual and audio alarms, activate said exterior and interior lights and retrieve said tracking and descriptive data using a cell phone, a landline phone, a cellular device or an outside computer.

10. The system according to claim 9, wherein said system utilizes evolution data only technology (EDVO) and general packet radio service (GPRS) technology to lock and unlocking said doors, activate said visual and audio alarms, activate said exterior and interior lights and retrieve said tracking and descriptive data.

11. The system according to claim 1, wherein said localized computer system transmits said overall system data via evolution data only technology (EDVO) and general packet radio service (GPRS) technology to said centralized remote computer system.

12. The system according to claim 11, wherein said overall system data is transmitted to and from a cell phone, a cellular device and a landline telephone utilizing PSTN technology from said centralized remote computer system.

13. The system according to claim 11, wherein said overall system data is transmitted to and from an outside computer utilizing the Internet.

14. A computer software method for processing vehicle entry of a vehicle protected by a computerized multiple technology vehicle alarm system with overall system data that includes data from a closed circuit surveillance camera system, a plurality of microwave motion and shock sensors, a plurality of door sensors, a plurality of glass breakage sensors, a global positioning system (GPS), an engine disabling device, a plurality of visual and audible alarms, a plurality of vehicle exterior and interior lights, a plurality of vehicle doors and locks and tracking and descriptive data from said GPS system, a computer processor for processing said overall system data and a memory for storing said overall system data on a storage medium, comprising:

entering a personal identification number (PIN) and a password;

verifying said PIN and said password; and

disarming said computerized alarm system, activating said surveillance camera system and activating said interior and exterior lights.

15. The method according to claim 14, wherein entering a PIN and a password includes communicating PIN and password failure to said computerized system.

16. The method according to claim 14, wherein verifying said PIN and said password includes recording said overall system data on said storage medium that is provided and processed by said processor.

17. A computer software method for processing a vehicle break-in of a vehicle protected by a computerized multiple technology vehicle alarm system with overall system data that includes data from protectionary components that include a closed circuit surveillance camera system, a plurality of microwave motion and shock sensors, a plurality of door sensors, a plurality of glass breakage sensors, a global positioning system (GPS), an engine disabling device, a plurality of visual and audible alarms, a plurality of vehicle doors and locks, a plurality of vehicle exterior and interior lights and tracking and descriptive data from said GPS system, a computer processor for processing said overall system data and a memory for storing said overall system data on a storage medium, comprising:
