I'm thinking of getting 2 of these for my Camino in September: http://www.dobermanproducts.com/SE-0304.htm.
You set a 4 digit code and arm it attached to your bag. If it moves (and continues to move, allowing it to accidentally be bumped) and the code isn't entered to disarm it, it blares a loud alarm, hopefully causing the thief to drop your bag where it is.
I'm thinking of putting one on my pack and another on a small lumbar pack to put my camera and iPhone in. That way if I choose to put my camera and iPhone out overnight to charge (zipped within the bag), I can do so with the alarm attached without much fear of theft.
Now, my thought is that people won't know what they are, reach to just move my stuff out of the way, and set off the alarm. Watching the video on the manufacturer website, it says that if the unit moves, it sounds a warning beep. If it stops moving in less than 3 seconds, it just goes back to armed mode. If it continues moving, it'll go beserk. If I get a card laminated in Spanish, French, English, and German to put on my bag explaining that it is alarmed, is my stuff probably safe?
Thanks!
