A few things are important to remember before purchasing a personal security alarm. A louder sound may be required depending on your particular situation. Some personal safety alarms emit noise at around 115 dB. You need one that is louder than this. Loud noises can deter thieves and attackers. The alarm should be simple to activate so that it doesn't disrupt meetings and scare away people in crowded restaurants.
Personal safety alarms cost
There are many types of personal safety alarms available. Some have only a whistle, others have flashlights, built-in whistles, and many other features. Depending on the type and brand, personal safety alarms can range anywhere from $8 to $25. Low-end personal safety alarms are less expensive and require a button or pin mechanism to activate. Mid-range personal safety alarms cost anywhere from $12 to $25 and usually come with a flashlight.
Keychain-style devices priced
You might be tempted to purchase a keychain-style personal alarm for as low as $50 if you have a tight budget. Be aware of the features as well as benefits of these devices. They should fit comfortably in your hand, be discreet enough to disguise as jewelry, and not be too loud. Although most personal safety alarms made from keychains last at least one year, it is important to regularly check the batteries.
Alarms for Loudness above 130 dB
A personal safety alarm can be an effective deterrent against theft. This alarm alerts people in your vicinity to an imminent attack. Personal alarms are loud enough to scare off an attacker with a 130 dB volume. These alarms are great for children and adults, and can be hidden in small pockets or bags. Men should not use a personal alarm.
Cost of button activated devices
Personal safety alarms can either be activated by pulling a bolt or pulling a knob. Button-activated devices work in the same way as car key fobs. The user needs to press a button, pull a bolt, or ring to activate them. Both methods work well, but the button-activated model is more expensive. It's crucial to be familiar with the particular features and costs of each type of button-activated personal emergency alarm before buying one.
Preferences about personal safety alarms
There are many distinctions between personal safety alarms, and those that are used in hospitals. Personal alarms with screams and whistles aren't as effective at disarming offenders as those using coded, silent sounds. Although panic buttons have been recommended for hospitals, studies have not shown their effectiveness. It is ultimately up to the nurse which settings they are used that will determine their preference for personal safety alarms.
