Personal security alarms are small electronic tools used to summon help in an emergency or scare off potential attackers. This is similar to a security alarm that may be located on the wall of a home or business, except that it is not permanently attached to the wall, but may be carried with you at all times. They easily fit in your hand to signal "danger" by discharging a high-intensity ear piercing blast that can be heard up to one quarter of a mile away. Personal alarms are often used as a safety alarm, panic alarm or medical alarm. They make good sense for both children and adults.



Personal alarms are a handy tool to use as an aid in self defense. They can make great crime deterrents when used to scare off an assailant. The alarms sound when the pin is pulled that triggers the high decibel alarm. Criminals do not like to draw attention to themselves and will run off when they realize the alarm cannot be stopped.



These self defense alarms come in various shapes and there are different types available. Some are built small enough to easily fit in the palm of your hand. Others are designed to be attached to a key chain so it will easily accessible in case of an emergency. Before purchasing a personal alarm make sure it has these features:



*The noise emitted from an emergency alarm needs to be as loud and as troubling as possible. 95 to 130 decibels should do the trick.



*A panic alarm should be simple to carry so you can promptly get at it when needed.



*An individual alarm needs to be easy to use so there is no bungling with the widget to operate it when it is most needed.



Personal alarms are great self defense defense for protection at home, work, away at college, or when traveling. And because they are not weapons, carrying one does not require any kind of special training, permit, or criminal background check. Make sure you can draw the most attention to your situation when it is needed by keeping one with you at all times.



Another type of personal alarm worth mentioning is the one that works as a canine or wildlife repeller. Some personal attack alarms, such as ones made with ultrasonic sound, can be used as a repellent against threatening dogs and other wild animals. If there is a problem dog in the neighborhood bothering you simply pull out your dog alarm and sound off the siren. The high pitched shrill will send the hound away.
