Voicemail Hacking

Don’t let it happen to you!

Most people leave their voicemail pin as the default and it seems this is one way in which someone could listen to your messages.

 

It’s also handy to set one up anyway, for when you go abroad, as you will need it in most cases to access your voice mail.

All you do to change your pin, is dial your voice mail and go to voicemail settings and change the security default pin.

If you need to find the default pin, look in your instruction manual, or call your service provider.

This clever little gadget from Novus will monitor any prang you have!

 

Check out it’s features:

Built-in G Sensor & Impact Sensor
Novus Eye Plus has G Sensor and Impact Sensor and saves information of all the necessary data on the shock applied to the vehicle during the driving.

Full Time Driving Record
Novus Eye Plus will support recordings of up to 64Gb hours successively based on 16GB SD Memory capacity.

A/V Support
The video file recorded and saved into SD Card could be played through any visual device, like Navigation system, TV and PC.

WDR (Wide Dynamic Range) Function Camera
The Wide Dynamic Range (WDR) function of a camera is intended to provide clear images even under back light circumstances where intensity of illumination can vary excessively. The WDR allows a camera to filter the intense back light surrounding a subject and thus enhances the ability to distinguish features and shapes on the subject. With traditional CMOS camera technology when a vehicle leaves a tunnel, you will see the background washed out during day time. The Novus Eye Plus is using WDR Function Camera and solves this issue.

Road Eye Software
When you remove the SD Card and plug it into the computer you can then simply analyse how the accident has occurred with the Road Eye software. This software will allow you to watch back on the event, collecting vital information about your speed and location. A built in Google Map will show you the journey on the road while on playback and will allow you to find your exact location.

Not only will it make you vehicle economical, but also make it more responsive too! On average a 20% improvement!

Call us to find out how much you could save.. Fill in our Contact form with details of your vehicle and annual mileage  and see how much you could save.

In the meantime, follow these tips below to save fuel……

Before driving off

Watch a video on how to be an eco-safe driver

Making life easier for your engine can mean you use less fuel and produce fewer emissions.

Pump up your tyres

Under-inflated tyres create more resistance, making your engine work harder. This can increase your fuel consumption by up to 3 per cent.

Adjusting your tyres regularly, especially before long journeys, can help your car use less fuel and could increase the life of the tyres. Cars with heavier loads may need different air pressure and over-inflating tyres can be unsafe, so check your car manual for the correct pressure.

Smarter driving could save you one month’s fuel over a year 

Tyres that lessen resistance

Some tyres are designed to reduce resistance between the tyre and the road surface (known as ‘rolling resistance’). Low rolling resistance tyres help to reduce fuel consumption and CO2 emissions.

From November 2012, tyre dealers will give information on tyres’ rolling resistance, wet grip performance and noise. Rolling resistance will be rated from A (best) to G (worst). Information may be provided for many tyres before November 2012 – ask your tyre dealer when you’re next buying tyres.

Clear out any extra weight

Remove unnecessary clutter and roof racks. This will reduce your car’s weight and air resistance.

Have your vehicle serviced regularly

Well-maintained cars in good condition tend to run more efficiently. Check how often your car should be serviced by looking in the owner’s manual or contacting the vehicle manufacturer.

If you carry out any work yourself, remember that waste from car maintenance (like old engine oil) is often hazardous. Dispose of it safely using council waste facilities.

Plan your route

Planning your route in advance, and using a map or satnav (satellite navigation system), can help you take the shortest route and avoid getting lost. Try Directgov’s journey planner to map your trip.

While driving your car

Travelling at a constant 37 mph in fifth gear uses 25 per cent less fuel than in third gear 

Following the smarter driving tips below could cut your CO2 emissions by around 8 per cent. This could add up to an annual fuel saving of up to one month per year.

Drive at an appropriate speed

Driving at 50 miles per hour (mph) instead of 70 mph can improve fuel economy by 25 per cent. Driving at slower speeds also gives you time to anticipate traffic ahead, helping you drive more smoothly.

Speed up and slow down smoothly

Every time you stop and start, your engine uses more fuel and produces more emissions. Check the road ahead and slow down early, giving the traffic time to start moving again before you reach it. You can then speed up again without needing to stop.

Change gears at the right time

Changing up gears a little earlier can reduce revs per minute (rpm) and reduce your fuel usage. If you drive a diesel car, try shifting up when the rev counter reaches 2,000 rpm. For a petrol car, change up at 2,500 rpm.

Remember to change down a gear at the right time too – if your car is struggling, it will also use more fuel.

Avoid leaving your engine running

If you’re likely to be at a standstill for more than three minutes, switch off the engine. When the engine is idling, you’re wasting fuel.

Don’t use air conditioning unless you really need it

Using air conditioning and electrical devices like mobile phone chargers increases your fuel consumption, so keep their usage to a minimum.

Try using the fresh air vent to keep cool and park in the shade on a sunny day. This will keep your car cooler inside and stop fuel evaporating from the engine and fuel tank.

Get in and go

Modern engines are designed to be most efficient when you get in and drive off straightaway. Revving them wastes fuel and increases engine wear and emissions.
