First Alert, a leading company in personal, home and pet safety products launches several new products sure to bring security and peace of mind to consumers everywhere. I had the opportunity to put a few of them to the test.

The "POD" or "Protection On Demand" puts personal security quite literally in the palm of our hands. The POD has a high tech motion detector and can release a 100 decibel alarm and alerts the owner to possible personal theft or intrusion. This is ideal for purses, computer cases and totes and all carry on luggage. It can also serve as a door alarm if you hang from the door knob (perfect for college dorms, homes and of course hotel rooms while traveling). The POD is smaller than a cell phone and includes an emergency panic button and LED light. The POD retails for $29.95.

New in Pet Safety comes the BARK GENIE a perfect solution in minimizing excessive barking. It is undetectable to humans and completely safe for pets. The BARK GENIE will train your pet to be quieter and more obedient. When barking is detected, the Genie emits a high pitched sound stopping the behavior in seconds. It is weatherproof making it perfect for both in and outdoor use and can be effective even 50 feet away. A hand held options brings the same level of training to the on-the-go convenience. The BARK GENIE retails for approximately $39.95.

Secureline, from Lehigh ("America's leading cordage manufacturer") brings us the Digital Camouflage Poly Rope and the Visiflect Reflective Rope.
