Keychain Security for People on the Move

The concept of keychain security is perfect for people on the move, especially those who don’t or won’t carry other self defense weapons.

Keychain security is a convenient form of personal alarm which is usually attached to a key ring. So when you go out in your motor vehicle, you don’t have to think twice about taking the personal panic alarm with you. It’s already on the ring and you have it with you. You just have to be sure that you keep it with you when you are not traveling.

Personal alarm systems are a reasonably new idea that caters to the needs of people who want something light, portable and safe that they can carry with them all the time. Even though they come in a variety of shapes and sizes, most work the same way – with a removable pin that triggers the alarm. The pin has to be replaced for the noise to stop, so even if an assailant is able to get the alarm out of your hand, he or she won’t be able to silence the alarm. This should give you enough time to get away, or attract the attention of other people who will hopefully come to your aid. More personal safety training options.

Keychain security makes a personal alarm that much more accessible. While driving it is close at hand, and when you get out of the vehicle, you can wear it around your neck, or even on your wrist. Like other non-lethal self defense devices including pepper spray and mini stun guns, panic alarms on keychains are designed to scare potential attackers rather than harm them.

There are various different devices in the general keychain security range. These include:

• Door alarms that combine with a mini LED light that look like a keychain.
• A Mace keychain that has a kind of pepper spray gun attached to it.
• Keychains that are attached to both a personal alarm and a flashlight that you can use to temporarily blind an assailant at night.
• Keychains that combine a key ring (for your vehicle keys) with an electronic whistle.

Since it isn’t only people you want to protect yourself from, manufacturers also offer products that will enable you to protect yourself from animals, particularly dogs and bears. There are two basic sorts, those that use a specially prepared animal pepper spray, and those that rely on an ultrasonic device.

In addition to keychain secuity devices, there are also numerous personal safety alarm products that you can use in and around the house, either in conjunction with, or instead of, a regular security system. These include a wide variety of alarms, some of which are designed to protect windows and other possible entry points that burglars might use. Then there are security cameras and much less expensive dummy surveillance cameras that look like the real thing and usually frighten intruders off because they assume they are being photographed. There are also voice alert alarms that look like sensors. Then there are various safety lighting products as well, some of which are solar powered. Solar security lights with motion detector will help to keep you safe and secure in your own home.
