Frequently Asked Questions About Driveway Alarms
What’s the difference between PIR and magnetometer driveway sensors?
PIR (Passive Infrared) driveway alarm sensors detect any heat-emitting movement including cars, people, and large animals. They’re ideal for comprehensive security. Magnetometer probe sensors only detect metal mass from vehicles, making them perfect when you only want car alerts without false alarms from foot traffic or wildlife on your driveway.
How far can wireless driveway alert systems transmit?
Transmission range for driveway alarms varies by model. Our wireless driveway alert systems offer ranges from 400 feet for basic residential needs up to 1 mile or more for large properties. The Dakota Alert 4000 series driveway alarms can reach up to 1 mile, while some systems like the rubber hose kits can achieve up to 5,000 feet of reliable transmission.
Can I add multiple sensors to one driveway alarm receiver?
Yes! Most of our driveway alarm receiver units support multiple sensors (typically 4-16 zones). This allows you to monitor multiple driveway entry points, differentiate between locations with unique chimes, and expand your wireless driveway alert system as needed. Check individual product specifications for zone capacity.
Are driveway alarm systems weatherproof?
All outdoor driveway alarm sensor components are weatherproof and designed to withstand rain, snow, and temperature extremes. Indoor receivers should be kept in protected areas. Sensors typically operate in temperatures from -30°F to 120°F, making these driveway monitoring systems suitable for most climates.
Do I need professional installation for driveway alarms?
Most of our driveway alarm systems and wireless driveway alert systems are designed for DIY installation. PIR sensors mount on posts or trees, rubber hoses lay across driveways, and magnetometer probes require digging a small hole. Basic tools and our detailed instructions are all you need. We also offer phone support if you have questions during your driveway alarm installation.
