If you like to know who is approaching your house before they have even rung your doorbell, a wireless driveway alarm may be the thing for you. Wireless driveway alarms can trigger a signal inside of the home whenever a person or vehicle comes close enough to the sensor.

For most people, the entrance to their home is the driveway. Wireless alarms can protect this entrance and the home from any unexpected surprises – whether it is someone trying to break in or a home delivery that you just cannot miss. A driveway alarm offers security and is wireless – a sensor is set up at the end of the driveway, and when crossed, it sends a signal up to the house.

There are several styles of wireless driveway alarms. Wireless driveway alarms from Optex offer plenty of features to give you the level of protection that you want. One Optex wireless driveway alarm, the Optex Wireless 1000, has a variety of uses. It can work as a welcome chime or perimeter alert for your home or store. It can also work as a wireless doorbell, a guard for construction sites, a way to monitor shop-lifting prone items, announce the unauthorized use of exits (which is a good option for stores as well as parents of small children), etc. The sensor can be easily mounted on walls, ceilings, fence posts, and desktops. It can have 50 ft long range detection, or a 17 ft fan pattern. The transmitter can be clipped to a belt, worn as pendant, or mounted.

The Reporter wireless driveway alarm is the original in wireless driveway alarm systems. It can detect human or vehicle motion, but ignores small animals, and additional sensors and receivers can be added easily. It has a 30 foot detection range and can transmit the signal to a receiver 1200 feet away. The receiver has an output to trigger external alarms, and responds only to the motion sensors assigned to it, eliminating false alarms. The wireless driveway alert alarm is small and measures less than 4”x3”x2”.

Some wireless driveway alarms can be remotely controlled, allowing you to monitor the system from your home or work computer.

When shopping for a wireless driveway monitor alarm, take time to do your homework. Read reviews and compare prices and features. That way you can guarantee that you are getting a system that will meet all of your monitoring needs at the best price.
