Wireless Driveway Alarm
Why not extend your home security system buy incorporating a wireless driveway alarm
system. It will add an extra valuable layer of protection to secure you home from
a possible invasion. It could have other, convenient uses such as alert you when
a delivery man arrives or when a friend arrives to visit.
Why buy a wireless driveway alarm system? Being wireless, it is extremely easy to
install. If we look at the alternative, a hardwired driveway alarm, laying the cables
would mean employing a company which could add significantly to the overall cost.
Before you purchase a wireless driveway security alarm a little thought and planning
is needed first. You need to measure out the distance between your driveway and
the location of where your alarm receiver will be. The reason being is that you
will make sure that the alarm system you are buying is covering the required
range. At this point it is worth deciding if the driveway alarm is to cover other
areas around your property.
Every wireless driveway monitor system has two key components and these are the
transmitter and a receiver. The transmitter device will detect the presence of the
individual, usually by utilizing infrared sensory equipment. It will then alert
you via the receiver. Sometimes, the receiver unit allows a communication with the
visitor. This is very useful as the sound of your voice (or even a recorded voice),
can be a powerful deterrent when it comes to preventing intrusion or burglary.
Both wireless and handheld models of the driveway alarm are available in different
detection ranges, from 1,000 feet to 2 miles.
There are different types of driveway alarm and some use motion sensors to prevent
small animals form setting the alarm off. You can often set the alarm at a certain
height so that small animals have no effect of the system. But bear in mind that
some motion detector cannot be guaranteed to filter out tree branches in the wind
or moving cars.
Overall, a wireless driveway alarm is excellent to extend your home security protection
by alerting you of a presence of someone entering your property.
