Wireless Motion Alert Makes for Simple-to-install Driveway Alarm
If you’ve been thinking about getting some kind of driveway alarm or motion sensor to alert you to when someone comes onto your property, but haven’t wanted to deal with installing something complicated, this Dakota Alert wireless motion detector from SmartHome might fit the bill.
It’s specifically made for outdoor use, so it can be used to monitor your driveway or any part of your property.
“The Wireless Motion Alert system will send an instant alert from the foot of your driveway to your home when a person or car enters your property. The weatherproof transmitter operates on one 9-volt battery (sold separately) and is easily mounted on a tree or post near the driveway (mounting materials sold separately). The transmitter uses a passive infrared (PIR) beam to detect people or vehicles to a distance of up to 80 feet, then sends a radio signal back to the receiver, which can be placed in your home up to 3000 feet away.”
It looks pretty easy to install. Since everything is wireless, there aren’t any cables that need to be run underground or anything. Set-up shouldn’t take long.
The wireless driveway motion detector is $159 from SmartHome:
