Driveway Alarms Will Alert You When People or Cars Enter Your Driveway or Property
Our driveway alarm systems are excellent solutions to alert your home or business when a visitor has arrived! Perfect for long or hidden driveways, or to allow you just a little extra warning before guests (or intruders) arrive. We offer motion based (PIR), magnetometer (detects metal only), or pneumatic (rubber hose) kits and accessories. There is not one product that fits every scenario, but depends on several important factors :
Do you want to detect ALL movement or only vehicles?
What is the distance from the transmitter to the receiver?
Do you have metal, concrete, stucco, hills or a heavily wooded area? (These factors will decrease the range of the wireless system and a more powerful transmitting range may be required.)

The need for a reliable home security system has escalated in the last few years. Today, with a good home security system in place, you can step out of your home with much needed peace of mind that your belongings or loved ones are safe. While there are several ingredients which come together to make the perfect home security system, monitoring and securing the property itself is often overlooked. With a small investment, you can have the peace of mind to know when a person, an automobile, of virtually anything enters your property. Driveway monitoring systems alert the user about the presence of a visitor/intruder on your driveway or property, and can prove to be extremely effective in prevention of crime.
Driveway sensors: Driveway sensors are devices that detect the presence of a vehicle or intruder and relay this information back to the monitor in the house. Your choice of a driveway sensor may depend on your unique needs. While some people only prefer to be notified about the presence of a vehicle and can opt for the hose or the magnetic probe, there are others who look for more from their driveway sensors. The PIR based driveway sensor can detect the presence of both vehicles as well as movement of any kind. Driveway sensors differ in their transmission capabilities. While basic models have a transmission range of 600 feet and are ideal for normal homes, advanced models have a range of almost 3000 feet and are ideal for larger properties. There are several factors which may affect the performance of driveway sensors (objects in the line of sight, the construction of your home and the presence of an electrical fence close by).
The Metal Detecting probe is one type of sensor that detects the presence of large metallic objects (vehicles). You will never have to worry about a false alarm triggered by a stray animal ever again if you use a metal detecting probe. Similarly, the motion sensor based alarm uses PIR (Passive Infrared technology) to detect human presence or any type of movement at all on the premises. These systems may also be integrated with other security devices like intercom systems and lighting controls to further strengthen your home security setup.
Unlike wired systems, which require wires (often with conduits) installed from the driveway to the house, wireless driveway alarms are easy to install and use. The range and the features of the system will vary from one model to the other. Basic models have an intercom like system where the sensor detects the intrusion or the presence of a vehicle and the alert is sounded inside the house either in the form of a pre-recorded message or an alert tune. There are integrated alerts that can trigger lighting controls, cttv cameras and other security systems upon detecting an intrusion. One thing that you must keep in mind is that its performance will be affected by the number of obstructions (trees, metallic objects) in its line of sight. A clear line of sight means a clear signal and peak performance. Choose from our extensive offering to meet your unique security requirments.
Our number one selling system is the Driveway Informer, Di2000S-A by Security2020. This product has an incredible range of up to 3,000 feet from the transmitter to the receiver. The transmitter is a PIR based wireless motion detector that will detect any type of movement within the detection zone. When movement is detected, the transmitter sends the wireless signal to alert you. We have offerings that will only detect cars and some with a wireless range of up to several miles. So not only does a doorbell or door chime add to your home security, with a solid alarm, you can now be alerted when someone or something enters your property.
