Most, but possily not all. Thieves want quick, simple, and quiet; Sonic Shock offers none of these.
Instant alarm.
Possible, but unlikely. We use 200 lock combinations.
Anything that can resold to consumers. In most commercial settings, flat panel televisions, digital signs, video projectors and Mac .
Only if brand new or mission critical. (Thieves sometimes take your old stuff, then plan a return visit a month later.)
Yes. SonicShock™ secures anything so long as it has a free 2 x 3.8 inch (5 x 10 cm) flat surface. It affixes to the outside of the case, be it a Macintosh, PC, or any other office equipment.
You won't like it - too big. But if you're using the laptop essentially as a portable desktop – a nursing station or a medical cart for example, it's feasible.
Yes! You will need new mounting plates as these are stuck to your equipment forever. We’ll sell you new plates (and glue) for a nominal price.
In theory 50 years; It draws about 1 millionth of an amp. (A hundred watt lightbulb is about 1 amp.) ) In practice we suggest you change the battery every 5 years, sooner if the alarm has sounded for a more than an hour. An alkaline battery loses about 1% of its capacity per year, but like people, sometimes batteries die early.
Two hours for the Sonic Shock 5; 1 hour for the Sonic Shock Plasma. Actually longer. We assume 'longer' isn't a problem for you.
No, you can use any 9 volt battery, though we suggest you use an alkaline version – longer shelf life, more power reserve, less likely to leak.
Yes. It’ll take you about 5 minutes, most of which is texting someone while the glue sets. (Admittedly, the first alarm you install will take longer.) The instructions are brief, mostly pictures. We supply everything you need. You don’t need tools, and you don’t have to do anything that screws up your equipment warranty.
Yes, and expect to for years yet.
I already use Sonic Shock "2", "3" or "4"; do I need to get new keys for Shock "5"?
No, they all use same lock design.
You can if you ask and pay for it. Most commercial customers don't need and don't want.
