A Driveway Alarm Can Be Used As An Exterior Motion Detector In Many Areas Around Your Home!Many driveway alarms are wireless & are comprised of two separate devices. The first device, a transmitter, sends a signal to the second device, a receiver, which is located inside your home. These driveway motion alarms can be used in any place you want to detect motion. You can place the transmitter in any number of places outside your home to notify you when motion is detected. I have been so impressed with the durability of a driveway alarm I purchased a few years ago, that I recently ordered four more of them. The driveway alarm I purchased a few years ago is setup to detect anyone entering a certain area of my property. This detector has been through three Canadian winters & with the exception of having to change a 9 volt battery each year, it works as well as the day I received it. The receiver part of this alarm takes 3 C Batteries which haven't been replaced yet. The receiver can also be plugged in using an adapter that did not come with the alarm, but can be inexpensively purchased. Once motion is detected the receiver part of the alarm will sound a chime inside your home that with most models has a couple of different volume settings. The lower setting on the model I have sounds a pleasant chime. The higher setting sounds the exact same chime, but it is loud & will certainly startle you if you are near it when it goes off. The louder setting can be clearly heard throughout your home, so if you are going to be in the same area where the receiver is, you may want to move it further away from you or place it on its lower setting. You may find some benefit in placing a driveway alarm in the following areas: If you have a long driveway you can strategically locate the motion transmitter close to the top of your driveway & it will notify you as soon as anyone walks or drives in. You can place the motion receiver in a location that will detect anyone coming towards the entrance of your home. You may want to place an alarm in any area around your home that may be especially vulnerable to attack by an intruder. An area especially vulnerable to attack, could be any window or door that cannot be seen by neighbors or anyone in a public area. If you are going to be away from your home for a long weekend or a few weeks vacation you may want to ask a neighbor to watch over your property while you & your family are away. You may also provide your neighbor with the receiver of your alarm that may be setup to detect motion in a certain area of your home where your neighbor may not be able to see.
Depending on the model of your alarm there are limited distances that your receiver can be from the transmitter. With the model I have, the maximum range the receiver can be away from the transmitter is 400 feet. You need to ensure that any driveway alarm being monitored by a neighbor in your absence is not too far for the receiver to pick up the signal. I have been checking out the internet to see what alarms are available & at what price. In doing this I have found some big differences in what one site is charging for a particular model driveway alarm, over the price another site is charging for the exact same model. You should be able to purchase an appropriate driveway motion alarm from about $25.00 to $50.00us. You need to check around for the best pricing, because certain models sell for $30.00 to $40.00 on one site & other sites charge $80.00 to $90.00 for the exact same models. You also should look at what a driveway motion alarm may be selling for, at a store in your area. I sincerely hope the above information was in some way helpful & beneficial for you.
