Driveway Alarms and Entry Alerts

Have become a key component to residential and business security strategy. 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. Most models have a volume control to ensure the proper sound level for the application. We carry both hard wired systems that require burying a wire 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

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 impede the functioning 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 pedestrians in your driveway, yard, doorway etc. They are also commonly used to detect animals in protected areas, back yards, or anywhere required.

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 walking. 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! Below we have listed 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 not designed to replace a home security system, but rather work in harmony with it. 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 of our customers being woken in the night by their drive alert chime and seeing the surprised intruder backing out the driveway after unexpectedly seeing the house light up!
