Doberman Security Briefcase Alarm

 (2 customer reviews)

I leave my briefcase, sometimes with a notebook computer in it beside my chair in conference rooms, airport lounges etc. This simple device will sound a LOUD alarm it the case is moved. I am pretty confident that a thief would drop the case and take off.
My only concern is that I get enough time to turn it off before the alarm sounds...it gives you about 3-4 seconds after a warning beep.

If this were not the best thing available on the market, I would have given it zero stars. It's loud, and effective, but it has a few design flaws that prevent you from using it. Firstly, it'll make a loud beep when you arm it. Secondly, it beeps every time you press a button to disarm it. Thirdly, the device drains the batteries even when it's disarmed, so it's very likely it will be dead by the time you need to use it. Fourthly, the batteries require a screwdriver to open the device to change them (wouldn't be a problem if I didn't NEED to replace them EVERY TIME I want to use it!).

This is an extremely annoying device that will cost you friends and business associates VERY fast if you try to use it to protect a briefcase or bag that you're frequently getting into. For example, if I'm doing a presentation, and I'm keeping supplemental material in my bag for people that ask for it, I have to announce to the world that I don't trust them, and irritate everyone around me...Read more
