FightSense vs. motion sensitive alarm: Safety Check

15th Jan 2025

When it comes to personal safety, not all alarms are created equal. A Motion-Sensitive Alarm is commonly used to guard homes or cars by detecting movement in a specific area. But when you’re out walking, jogging, or commuting—what keeps you safe?

That’s where the FightSense personal alarm stands out. In this blog, we compare the features of the FightSense alarm with a Motion-Sensitive Alarm and explore which option truly offers the most reliable, on-the-go protection.

Key Takeaways

  1. FightSense alarms are portable and user-triggered, while Motion-Sensitive Alarms work in fixed areas only.

  2. Motion-Sensitive Alarms are ideal for property, not personal defense.

  3. FightSense sirens reach up to 130 dB—much louder than standard motion alarms.

  4. Pairing FightSense with tools like pepper spray or stun guns creates a stronger safety setup.

  5. FightSense requires no installation, charging, or Wi-Fi—clip it and carry it anywhere.

FightSense vs. Motion-Sensitive Alarm: What’s the Difference?

While both aim to detect threats, the way they work is entirely different. A Motion-Sensitive Alarm activates automatically when it senses movement. This is great for guarding entryways, garages, or vehicles—but it doesn't help when you’re out in public.

The FightSense alarm is manually activated with a button or pin-pull, giving you control when you feel unsafe. It emits a powerful 130 dB siren—enough to scare off threats and attract attention.

Why FightSense Wins for Everyday Carry

A Motion-Sensitive Alarm isn't practical to carry daily. But the FightSense keychain alarm is lightweight, discreet, and clips easily to your bag, keys, or belt.

It’s perfect for:

  • College students

  • Night-shift workers

  • Travelers

  • Joggers and walkers

Wherever you go, FightSense keeps protection within reach.

When Every Second Counts: Immediate Protection Matters

If someone follows you late at night, a Motion-Sensitive Alarm at home won’t help. But with a FightSense alarm in hand, you can:

  • Trigger an ear-piercing siren

  • Alert people around you

  • Deter potential threats immediately

FightSense gives you fast, manual control that motion alarms simply can’t offer.

Combine FightSense with Motion-Sensitive Alarm for Total Safety

You don’t have to choose just one. A Motion-Sensitive Alarm is perfect for securing your home or office, while the FightSense alarm protects you wherever you are.

FightSense also offers simple door/window alarms—battery-powered and easy to install, making them a great addition to your home security without complicated wiring or apps.

Level Up Your Defense: Add FightSense Safety Tools

A great alarm is just the start. Combine your FightSense alarm with other tools for stronger defense:

These tools work together to give you confidence in any setting—something a Motion-Sensitive Alarm can’t do alone.

Sound Comparison: Louder Is Better

A Motion-Sensitive Alarm may beep or chime—often below 100 dB. That might alert you indoors but won’t draw much attention outdoors.

The FightSense alarm hits 130 decibels, as loud as a jet engine. This can:

  • Startle attackers

  • Alert bystanders

  • Create instant urgency

When safety is on the line, loudness matters.

Travel-Ready and Legal to Carry

The FightSense alarm is TSA-friendly and easy to pack, unlike many Motion-Sensitive Alarms or restricted items like pepper spray.

Take it anywhere:

  • Hotels and hostels

  • Subways and rideshares

  • Events and festivals

Compact, effective, and airport-safe—your perfect travel companion.

Always Ready, No Charging Needed

FightSense alarms are designed for real life—no charging, syncing, or Wi-Fi required.

You can keep it in:

  • Your backpack or gym bag

  • Baby stroller

  • Handbag or laptop case

  • Car glovebox

Just pull the pin or press the button—instant sound, zero setup.
