Personal Alarms
Personal alarms are electronic devices that emit an extremely loud siren-like sound. You activate the personal alarm when attacked by an assailant or when the threat of an attack seems likely. The loud sound draws much needed attention to your situation and increases the risk of getting caught to the assailant. The assailant would not like drawing attention to himself and will likely find an easier target. Although personal alarms can not actually disable an attacker, if used in conjuction with a stun gun or pepper spray, you will greatly increase your chances for escape.
These small, convenient personal alarms will not take up much space. Lightweight and extremely loud, they give you the attention drawing capability you need when it matters most. Carry a personal alarm with you wherever you go and use it to draw attention in any crisis.
• Great for Walking or Jogging
• Carry with you when Traveling
• Small, Lightweight, and Portable

The best way to prevent a child from drowning is to be vigilant. But can you be vigilant 100% of the time? Last year more than 300 children in the U.S. under the age of 5 drowned in backyard swimming pools. Six-hundred more between the ages of 6 and 14 also died due to accidental drowning. There are times when even the best parents take their eyes off their children for a minute or two. At any moment, without any warning, a tragedy can occur. Most pool accidents happen in less than five minutes; about the time it takes to grab a sandwich or a cold bottle of soda. But there are tips and tools that can help reduce water mishaps and promote pool safety. Pool safety alarms are one item that every pool owner should
have. The added protection they provide could keep your children from becoming another statistic.
The Pool Alarm is an electronic monitoring system that automatically sounds an alarm when children or pets fall into your unsupervised pool. It's portable, self-contained, and lightweight. The unit is simple to operate. Entry into the pool will be detected by the pool alarm's electronic sensor, triggering a loud pulsating alarm at the unit and inside your house from the remote receiver.
Installation of the pool alarm is easy. It sits on the pool deck as in the picture. After you install the alarm, it can't be deactivated. It is always in the alarm ready mode until you put it in sleep mode. If someone who does not know how to put the pool alarm in sleep mode attempts to remove the alarm, it will sound an alarm. The pool alarm comes with a remote receiver which can be mounted in your house up to 200 feet from the main unit. It also comes with a 12 volt power supply, and the unit itself uses one 9-volt battery, which should last approximately one year.
Installing a pool alarm is only one safety measure, though, when it comes to safe-guarding your children around the backyard pool. You need to be aware of the other nationally recognized water safety steps to ensure your children, or any child who enters your pool area, is protected as much as possible. Review these tips below and learn them. Don't let your child become another statistic. Practice pool safety.
Step 1. For starters, never allow children to swim without adult supervision, even if they know how to swim. And always keep children under five within your reach while at the pool.
Step 2. Enclose the pool with a fence that is at least five feet high. Keep the fence clear of chairs or other objects that children can use to climb over the fence. Make sure the gate stays locked and closes automatically.
Step 3. Always keep a life saving ring near the pool. Don't use inflatable swimming aids as a substitute for adult supervision or approved life vests. They give children and parents a false sense of security.
Step 4. When you are at the pool, be sure to keep a cell phone or a home phone line with you. You would never want to have to leave the pool area to use the phone. In the short amount of time that you are gone, a child can get injured or drown.
Step 5. Install pool security devices like infrared motion detectors, underwater wave sensors, and pool alarms that will alert you if someone is in the pool.
Step 6. When you're not using it, keep the pool completely covered. Never partially open the pool cover.
Step 7. Finally, take the time to learn CPR. Utilizing these guidelines will help you keep your pool a fun, safe area.

I think the first thing that comes to mind when people hear the term "Security Alarm Systems" is an all-encompassing setup from ADT or Brinks Security. These companies offer fine security service, to be sure, especially if you're wiring for a large corporate or business office. But what if you can't afford the high cost, the installation charges, the monthly fees, and don't want to be tied down with lengthy service contracts? One of our affordable DIY home security alarm systems may be your answer.
Theft from home break-ins is on the rise and it is highly imperative that you take the steps to ensure your home, property and family are protected. One of the easiest and most efficient means of safe-guarding your house is by adding a home security system.
Generally there are two types of home security systems; wired and wireless. A hard-wired system is traditionally the type found in shops, office buildings and in some homes that are monitored by either a security staff or remotely by a security agency, such as ADT or Brinks. Wired systems provide good reliability, are continually connected, and are excellent is supporting a number of CCTV cameras going back to a single monitor. On the other side, they also require several feet of cable and wiring, and if you're looking to run it internally with your existing electrical system, it will add in installation time, cost, and more than likely the services of a certified electrician.
A wireless system, on the other hand, offers an excellent opportunity for the actual DIY'er to install their own alarm system, along with saving money and time. Installation is way more simple and easier for a wireless security system compared to a hard-wired system.
Your first step with a wireless security system is deciding where the control panel will be placed. This will usually be in an easily accessible spot, like near the front door. Then establish where you want to install the sensors. Focus on high traffic areas such as hallways and landings, and make them your first priority. You'll also want to use PIR (passive infrared motion detector) sensors for this and all other areas. Subsequently, start looking at the main parts of your house that could be accessed externally. Always be sure to set up PIR motion detection sensors inside these areas also.
Your exterior doors definitely will need to be safeguarded by way of door contact sensors. There are commonly two types of doorway sensors – delayed, as well as immediate. The delay sensor will enable anyone to go into the home and provide a set amount of time to key in the code to disable the alarm system. An instantaneous type sensor will send the actual system into alarm mode as soon as the threshold contacts are broken.
So, what kind of wireless systems are out there on the market that you can install yourself, won't break the budget, and still provide the safety and security you need to protect your home and property? Let me suggest three systems right here.
The DIY Smart Home Kit Security System ($225.00) is a new and inexpensive way to protect you, your family, and your home. It needs no wiring of any kind, and can easily be installed by anyone. Forget the high bills and frequent visits by the installation man, you've got all you need with this entire package. If a window or door is broken into or disturbed once the system is set, an alarm will sound and the HomeSafe system will dial up to 5 telephone numbers that you program into it. Any kind of movement that the motion detector picks up will be detected and the alarm will sound off as well. If you are planning to relocate, the HomeSafe system can go with you, making it a good long-term investment. A big positive feature about this unit is that it allows you to uninstall and reinstall it anywhere at your leisure. It will save you money in the long run and keep your home safe. The system comes with one base unit with a/c adapter, one window/door sensor, one motion detector, and one remote control to arm and disarm the unit. You can also add up to 14 additional wireless sensors to guard every room in the house.
Another good unit is the Voice Alert Home Protection System with Zone Covrage ($149.95). If you are concerned about intruders, unexpected visitors, theft, mail tampering, or even dangerous areas for your children around the house, look no further. This system notifies you of any intruder with your own voice. Would you like to be alerted when....cars are coming up the driveway...children go inside inside your tool shed...intruders approach the front or backyard...someone enters your garage...visitors are walking to your front door...your parked boat or motorhome has been boarded...or small children are near the pool? If so, the new Wireless Voice Alert Protection and Notification System is the answer you're looking for. The Voice Alert System-6 allows a maximum of six user recorded messages. Each message is specific to one zone. For instance, zone one could be for a driveway alarm -“Car coming up the driveway” while zone two could be for a sensor monitoring the back yard- “Alert! Child by the pool!” Perhaps a third sensor guards a side entrance against intruders. However, when this PIR detects movement, the base unit plays “Intruder on patio” and triggers a floodlight using one of four relays included on the base unit. System-6 can monitor all three zones simultaneously and still have three additional zones available when needed. Users can alter their messages and place the wireless sensors wherever they wish.
One last clever and reliable home system is the Telespy ($79.95). The TeleSpy is an ordinary telephone that doubles as a monitoring system. Simply enter any phone number you want the unit to call and turn the motion sensor switch to on. Should motion be detected the phone will dial the number entered and upon answering you will be able to listen in via the amplified microphone on the unit. The TeleSpy allows you to decide from a safe location if it is a friend or foe before you call the police. The listening period is about 30 seconds, then the TeleSpy disconnects and instantly re-arms to detect again and again. TeleSpy operates from any phone line, requires no installation, and is completely portable. No monitoring fees, No false alarms. The TeleSpy's motion sensor is PIR, or Passive Infrared Technology. The passive infrared sensor detects changes in the room's heat signature due to occupant motion. The range is in excess of 30 feet at which point the width is about 20 feet, creating about a 45 degree wedge beyond the sensor origin. The hidden condenser microphone is strategically placed for maximum efficiency. It is amplified to insure that the slightest of sounds are heard, producing a high quality listening experience. The TeleSpy is an ideal solution for smaller homes and apartments. About 30% of TeleSpys sold go into small businesses, garages or apartments and condos. So, what happens if Telespy should call and you hear a burglar? First, be grateful you're not there but are listening from a remote location. Never attempt to apprehend criminals. Call 911 or your local law enforcement emergency phone number immediately.

Last month the former head of the powerful International Monetary Fund, Dominique Strauss-Kahn, was charged with chasing a housekeep around his penthouse suite and forcing her to perform sex on him in his $3,000-a-night room at the Sofitel New York Hotel. Hotel housekeepers say they often feel a twinge of fear when they slide the keycard, turn the door handle and step into a room to clean it, not knowing what they might find?
For Argelia Rico, it was a naked man who touched himself as he ogled her. For Kimberly Phillips, it was a pair of dogs that tore into her leg.
Labor groups and housekeepers reported at least 10 other attacks in the U.S. last year, from New York's Sofitel to remote roadside motels in Gaithersburg, Md., and Grand Island, Nebraska. Many more are hushed up because the victims are illegal immigrants, or the hotels are wary of reporting such incidents for fear of scaring off guests.
But personal attacks, sexual or otherwise, are not something exclusive to hotel housekeepers and maids. They can happen to anyone, at any time, for any number of reasons. There are many steps you can take to help safeguard yourself, but one of the easiest and cheapest ways is to carry a personal alarm with you at all times.
Personal alarms are designed to draw attention to you should you ever need help. They are small, portable, yet emit a loud sound that makes people come running. You simply activate the alarm when attacked by an assailant, or when the threat of an attack seems likely. The loud siren-like sound draws attention to your situation, and in turn scares off the assailant. The last thing an attacker wants is drawing attention to himself, and his first impulse is going to be to run.
A personal alarm should be standard in every home or apartment, especially if you're there alone at night. Keep it by the bedside. If you should be awaken by sounds of somebody breaking in, grabbing your alarm is much easier than going for your handgun, stun gun, Taser, or MACE spray and going out to confront the would-be burglar. One blast from your 130db alarm will create enough attention that he won't be able to flee the scene fast enough.
Other uses for a personal alarm are when you're…..
Out jogging
Walking the dog
Traveling; especially if traveling overseas. Unlike other protection devices, there are no laws against carrying a personal alarm with you.
Anyone whose work takes them to residential neighborhoods where they may encounter dog attacks.
Real estate agents who are constantly showing vacant homes to prospective clients.
Walking to your car late at night
Security guards on night patrol
Students away at college. Worried about your daughter walking back to her dorm at night? Campus Security may not always be in sight, but they will surely hear the 130db alarm when the trigger is pulled.
Camping. If you have kids who like to explore the woods, give each an A MACE Personal Alarm Clip to clip on their belt or pocket. If they become lost or hurt, simply pushing the button will emit a loud 120db alarm. It's also useful at sporting events, as a location device during emergencies, refereeing, or dog training.
Falling asleep at the wheel. All of us at one time have become drowsy while driving and then suddenly jarred awake by perhaps the horn of an oncoming car. The Nap Zapper, which is worn over the ear, has an electronic position sensor that sounds an alarm when your head nods forward.
A person is most likely to be attacked at night while walking to or from their car or home. The Key Alert with Flashlight easily attaches to your keys so it's always within reach. Many other personal alarms can be difficult to use in a panic situation.
These are only a few uses of personal alarms. All the personal alarms we carry are small, lightweight and portable, but with loud emitting blasts that can be heard ¼ mile away. Choose between aerosol or battery. Some also come with strobes and flashlights, and can be clipped to your belt, placed in your pocket or purse, worn around the neck, or simply come as a keychain. A few of the alarms will also convert to a portable door or window alarm and can be set for motion activation. This is especially handy if you're traveling.
Below, is a small selection of the alarms we carry. I invite you to look through our category of Personal Alarms at http://www.thecoverteye.com/Personal_Alarms. I think you'll find for the price, these alarms provide the biggest measure of personal security of any other device.
