If you feel unsafe in certain situations, you should consider some form of protection. Some people consider items like weapons or chemicals. However, these items can be used against you, or you can easily miss when adrenaline is high. This is not the case with a personal alarm or personal alarm keychain or other systems. Here are some of the options you have, to help you make the right decision.
Standard
A standard alarm device is one of the most cost-effective options. Some have buttons to push while others come with pins you remove to activate and reinsert to stop them. However, it is important to check out online reviews about each device. For example, with some devices, the pins may rust or fall out and trip the alarm for no reason. Some cheap plastic devices can get brittle and crack. Button alarms may get activated too easily because the buttons are too sensitive.
For Your Keys
Some of the best devices are personal alarm keychain products. They serve more than one purpose. You can keep all your keys with your alarm device. When you take your car places, you have your personal safety device with you and cannot forget it.
GPS
If you want an emergency response alarm, consider one with a GPS system built-in. It is one of the most convenient and cost-effective ways to have a standalone smart response system at your fingertips.
Tripwire Option
Some alarms and personal alarm keychain devices come with a tripwire option. They have a handle or loop at each end. This makes it easy to connect cables. The product is a pin activated device, and when the wire or cable gets stretched tight enough, it pulls out the pin and activates the alarm. To reset, just place the pin section back in place.
