Security System | Driveway Sensor

A driveway alarm is a device attached to your home security system that triggers an alarm when an object enters your driveway.  Most driveway alarm systems are battery operated and use motion detection technology to send a security system signal to a wireless receiver to notify you of a security breach.  Inside your home, the security system driveway alarm will give an audiable signal when someone or something is approaching the protected area. 

Driveway security alarms can be a stand alone system or incorporated into a home security system.  A stand along driveay alarm system will provide a door bell type audible signal.  A driveway security system can be set so they do not alarm for small animals however, branches being blown around can trigger a false alarm.  Another option to a driveay alarm is to utilize a pressure pad installed under the driveway.  This pressure pad simply senses pressure from any vehicle entering the driveway and can eliminate the false alarms.
