Types Of Effective Portable Alarms.

Portable alarms add convenience and versatility to your safety plan. With proper portable alarm protection, you increase your safety in dangerous zones, such as dark parking lots. Carry these small alarms alone, or in combination with other self defense devices, such as safety sprays. These small alarms pack a mighty punch, usually emitting a loud, ear piercing screecher shriek with enough decibels to exceed the comfort level of humans.


There are added security benefits to carrying a personal alarm, one of the most important of which is the ability to possess a personal safety device that cannot be turned against its owner. You can use the device to stun or disorient an attacker, and you do not have to worry about the perpetrator grabbing the device and using it to cause you harm. Also, these devices are allowed in many places other personal safety devices, such as chemical agents, may not be allowed. This gives you great versatility and portability.

Keychain Alarms :

These small but mighty alarm devices are cleverly disguised as a key fob. Their small size allows them to be easily carried anywhere – in a purse, glove compartment, or in your pocket. Some even come equipped with a strobe light or flashlight.

Once activated, the portable alarm emits an ear piercing screecher sound that will frighten off your attacker. These devices can easily be tossed into the bushes, forcing the attacker to choose between continuing his assault and risking capture, trying to locate and deactivate the alarm, or fleeing. Most will flee without delay.

Mace Screecher Alarm :

This noise maker comes in the shape of a small aerosol device, such as a personal can of pepper spray. Activate the screecher aerosol alarm by depressing the spray button, to release a one second burst of deafening noise. One canister of the Mace Screecher Aerosol Alarm will emit 20 one-second blasts. Just be sure to protect your own ears by using it at arm’s length.

Portable Alarms :

These small, portable alarms can be worn on a belt or attached to a purse, known as Sport Strove light alarms. They have a cord that can be pulled in the event of an emergency, activating the alarm, and they are ideal protection in danger area, such as dark parking lots. Many also have a strobe that activates with the alarm, for a double-whammy of personal protection. In addition to being highly portable, many of these Sport Strobe light alarms also double as doorknob alarms, allowing you to maximize their use while ensuring your own safety while traveling or at home.

Carrying a personal alarm makes a great deal of sense. Affordable and easy to use, these portable alarms do not require any special training and are not prohibited by law. Anyone can purchase a personal alarm, and many serve double duty as premise alarms. You can activate the alarm any time you need to fend off an attacker or potential attacker, or if you find yourself in need of assistance. The loud , ear piercing screecher sound emitted by these devices is easily recognized as a call for help, allowing you to summon assistance in the event of illness or injury, in addition to the device’s function as a personal protection item.

Whether used alone or as an addition to your personal protection arsenal, portable alarms greatly enhance your ability to escape an attack without suffering any harm.
