Wireless Driveway Alarms

Wireless Driveway Alarms: Choose Your Setup

Find the right driveway alert for your home or business by matching the detector, wireless range, and receiver to your property.

Detection type: Choose a vehicle probe for vehicle-only detection, a motion sensor for people and vehicles, a break beam to monitor a defined crossing, or a rubber hose to detect vehicles driving over it. Check each model’s installation requirements.

Range: Sensor detection distance and wireless range to the receiver are different. Check both, and account for buildings, trees, and terrain when planning placement.

Sensitivity and setup: Look for adjustable sensitivity where needed. Follow the model’s mounting, aiming, or burial instructions, and test your intended traffic before final installation.

Sound: Compare alert tones, volume controls, and portable receiver options. For noisy work areas, check compatibility with an additional bell or strobe.

Power: Confirm battery requirements for the sensor and outlet or charging needs for the receiver. For solar-powered models, plan suitable panel placement.

Home or business: At home, focus on your driveway approach and where you need to hear alerts. For a business, consider multiple entrances, background noise, and whether additional sensors or receivers are supported.

Before ordering, check whether you’re buying a complete system, an additional transmitter or receiver, or an accessory. Confirm compatibility with your chosen model.
