Driveway Sensor Alerts

Driveway Alarms

Driveway alarms and entry alert systems have become a key component in residential and business security. They are commonly used to wake or warn the property owners that a person or vehicle has entered a protected area. This area might be the driveway, walkway, back yard, secondary access or out buildings. Some of our systems deliver a pleasant door bell chime, a musical chime or a recorded voice alert and most models include volume control that can be adjusted as needed. We carry both hard wired systems,that require a wire buried from the remote sensor back to the home or business and wireless systems, which use a small radio transmitter at the sensor location and wireless receivers in your home or business.

There are three types of sensors to choose from...

Rubber Air Hose Driveway Sensors

These sensors only detect the weight of vehicles driving over them. These are ideal where the detection of people or animals is not desired, and where winter conditions will not disrupt the functionality of the the air hose.

Passive Infrared Driveway Sensors

Detect people walking, vehicles and large animals. This is the best choice if you need to detect people or animals in your driveway, yard, doorway etc.

Magnetic Probe Driveway Sensors

Will detect the moving metal vehicles only (magnetic metal detection). This is the perfect solution if you need to avoid detecting animals and people. These systems are virtually false alarm free if installed in an area where there is no other traffic or metal moving. The sensor probe may be located near any stationary metal such as fences, gates or even parked cars. It only triggers when the vehicle moves! Listed below are our most popular driveway alarms and entry alerts. All of our systems have a relay output to allow you to connect external strobes, sirens, buzzers, door bells, chimes etc. Our driveway alarm and entry alert systems are designed to enhance your home security system. Why wait until someone breaks into your home to be alerted, when you can be notified as soon as they enter your property? Having your driveway lights or porch lights come on can act as an excellent deterrent to an intruder. We have many testimonials from our customers of being awoken in the night by their drive alert chime and seeing the surprised intruder backing out the driveway after unexpectedly seeing the house light up!
