Choosing the right
personal alarm
There are a number of different
types of personal alarms available on the market.
This article will discuss some of the features
available, and help you to decide on the personal
alarm that is right for your needs.
A personal alarm is a small device
that can be activated when you are threatened
by an attacker. The device emits a loud alarm
sound that accomplishes a dual purpose –
it draws attention and it scares the attacker
away. Personal alarms come in a number of different
sizes and shapes and include a number of different
features.
One type is designed to fit on
a key chain and contains an electronic whistle.
You just push a button on the device and it emits
a loud 120dB whistling sound. This type is very
convenient because of its extremely small size.
Another type of personal alarm is designed to
be carried in your purse or worn on your belt.
It has a strap that, when pulled causes the alarm
to sound. This model can also be converted for
use as a door alarm. This is useful as an alarm
for your home or if you are staying away from
home in a hotel – place it on the door and
if the door is opened the alarm will sound.
Another type of personal alarm
includes a built-in flashlight. This model also
uses a strap that is attached to a pin. When the
strap is pulled, the pin is removed and the alarm
sounds at 130dB. The built-in flashlight is useful
for night watchmen or for finding your keyhole
at night. A similar model of personal alarm includes
an alarm and a flashing light. When activated,
the device emits an alarm sound and a bright,
flashing light. This provides two modes of deterrence.
Both the alarm sound and the flashing light will
serve to attract attention. This model can also
be used as a regular flashlight without activating
the alarm.
The doorstop alarm is another
type of personal alarm. It is designed to fit
in the crack under a door, and if someone tries
to open the door the alarm will sound. This alerts
you to the fact that there is an intruder, and
also serves to scare the intruder away. One other
type of personal alarm is the aerosol alarm. This
device uses an aerosol under pressure to produce
an ear-piercing alarm, much like a commercial
air-operated alarm. The sound is loud enough to
be heard from a distance of ¼ mile away.
The aerosol alarm contains enough aerosol for
about 30 short blasts.

of personal alarms on the market today. Why not
