Product Description

The Secure Dog barking dog alarm system uses an electronic radar wave sense control. This technology allows it to see through virtually any non-metallic barrier. Will not work through metal doors. When an intruder enters the 100 degree triangle of protection, it automatically starts barking like an angry dog. From outside it sounds like a very mean dog inside. It can also announce visitors with a chime or alarm. The radar sensitivity can be adjusted from 10-20 feet. Volume is also adjustable. It also can announce visitors with a melody of birds, frogs and waterfall sounds. These relaxing sounds can also be played whenever you want a soothing background sound. Four settings to choose from: Continual tranquil sounds of the rainforest, Alert sound of an angry and protective watchdog, Soothing rainforest sounds to alert you of a guest's arrival and Alert sounds of both the angry watchdog and a warning siren. * Reliable 24-hour protection * No Installation required * Protection with none of the problems of owning a real dog. * Switches from the watchdog to the tranquil sounds of nature with the simple switch of a button. * Variable distance sensitivity (up to 21') as well as volume control. * Senses movement through walls, doors, and glass to alert you of a visitor's arrival. * Size: 7.5" x 5" x 5.5" * Maintenance free.

1.0 out of 5 stars Secure Dog Alarm, July 16, 2008

I regret to report that my Secure Dog alarm IS a "dog." I purchased on the basis of very favorable reviews, but after I attempted to utilize this unit (selecting the barking option)I discovered that it usually malfunctioned.

There is one good feature, that the variability in barking frequency is quite realistic. However, the electronics is unreliable, usually giving a drum beat roar as the volume switch is first advanced. Occasionally this malfunction can be bypassed so that the alarm appears to work, but it rapidly fails so that later it gives only a nearly inaudible bark.

Finally, when the sound is operatiing, the quality of the speaker is extremely poor, so I doubt that most adults will be fooled -even when the unit is working.

It is very powerful, and it is very threatening. It works great. Usually products like this are junk, but this is high quality. I gave it as a gift to a lady who lives alone, and she tells me she sleep much better each night.

5.0 out of 5 stars Secure dog is cool, August 16, 2008

This review is from: Electronic Secure Dog Barking Dog Alarm (Electronics)

I bought one and I liked it so much I bought another. Especially when you have two devices it sounds like a FRENZY of angry dogs--sooo cool! Supposedly the speaker (front) part is where the sensors are. If you walk close to the rear it also barks. I suppose you can bypass this by shield it with some kind of metal barrior in the back. It's no big deal for me because I have an on-off switch I use and turn it on when I go to bed.

It's a novelty item, and these are hard to find.

You can switch it to a pleasant stream/bird/forest sound instead which is good if you have a business-it will alert you when someone comes into the door-and is really really excellent.

Be sure to buy some "BEWARE OF THE DOG" signs. Sound quality: VERY realistic. You can turn it up and it's quite loud and it WILL set off the neighborhood dogs. I think it is supposed to sound like german shepard. (If the person gets closer, the barking dog will bark more frequently). I wish they had growling pit bull sounds.

Still, the barking in this device is impressive.

It appears to be a very well built device-not cheap or flimsy. I wish it had a stereo plug--I would LOVE to plug it up to loud speakers LOL
Still, it's impressive.
