The BASU eAlarm Plus is an emergency alarm. Always follow the instructions carefully in case of an emergency. Use of this device in the outdoors or with tripwires comes highly recommended. No cell service is necessary. Batteries are included with the usage of the alarm for a period of 30 mins. You have the option of selecting between pink or black depending on your own preference. Anyway, it is made in the US.

"It’s larger than I anticipated, but the sound is VERY loud and obviously a distress alarm, not just a high-pitched squeal. My over-protective mother and boyfriend both approve..."

A loud siren and flashing strobe-light might help prevent an attack when you’re threatened. It’s as though a jet engine is roaring 100 feet in the air! This Birdie’s modern design alarm is simple to use. Simply remove the top pin to turn it on and replace it to turn it off. However, this alarm can be used several times. The batteries are changeable and last for 40 continuous minutes.

"I was initially hesitant (do i really need this?) but it’s a powerful little alarm that’s easy to use (but not too easy that I’d accidentally activate it) and would definitely draw attention...."

The Dakota 1 Mile Wireless Alert Package is a wireless detector or receiver kit that uses passive infrared (PIR) technology to detect big animals, humans, and vehicles up to a 1-mile radio range. The alarm package can be used as a backyard monitor, an entry alert, or a driveway alarm by homes and business owners. When the alarm kit detects motion, it will sound an alarm tone, which comes in 12 distinct tones. The alarm is programmed with a 5-minute departure delay, allowing you to leave your home without setting off the alarm kit.

"I needed a replacement for my previous Dakota alert that was about 12 years old. This product arrived quickly, works great..."

Another series of Dakota Alarm – 1 Mile Vehicle Driveway Alarm System. This is excellent for monitoring vehicles in your driveway. Other signaling systems incorrectly identify passing animals, but the Dakota 1 Mile Vehicle Alert Kit is not one of them. A sensor is buried parallel to the driveway and detects only vehicles within 10 to 12 feet. The transmitter is powered by four CR123A batteries that are provided, and it comes with 50 feet of burial wire.

"I like it. This is the third one we got. One someone messed with, one the plow got., and now this one. Wish it still had just the beep/tone..."

Please, don’t make yourself become the next victim. Protect yourself and your loved ones immediately. Emergency Personal Alarm Keychain from WETEN increases your protection without the necessity for self-defense lessons. With power drill’s roar may be compared to the siren’s 130 decibels. Also, with the help of the light, it frightens and scares away would-be assailants while alerting people close to the danger. Of course, this one is perfect for you as a self defense product.

"I use the alarm when I go to the laundry room in my apartment complex as a deterrent to any body who might be hanging around to do mischief. I also use it when I need help from my neighbor..."

Another product you need to consider buying is Safesound Personal Alarm by Kimfly. Alright, when you’re in danger, this alarm’s ear-piercing sound will catch the attention of people even 300 yards away. It can provide up to 50 minutes of continuous sound in an emergency. It will, however, replace self-defense weapons such as pepper spray to defend your safety. Sound amazing, huh?

"This alarm siren has a good size clip making it easy to take on and off the keychain. You can either remove the pin or push the large SOS button to sound the alarm...."

This keychain has a built-in alarm to keep you safe! Just pull the pin and the loud 125db boom and flashing strobe light will get you noticed with this. The hook on the Thopeb personal alarm allows it to be attached to purses, belts, coats, key chains, and other accessories. When you pull the pin, you’ll hear a loud 125dB roar and see a flashing strobe light.

"I used this to alarm my Biden/Harris yard sign because we've had signs stolen from our yard. The sound was very loud and scared the thief...."

KOSIN personal alarm can keep you secure. A great option for people of all ages, including women, the elderly, students, and children.
