Wireless Probe Driveway Alert

DJalmeda — Fri, 12 Dec 2008 19:45:44 +0000

Basic product information

Unexpected visitors will never be a problem again. The Wireless Probe Driveway Alert system will send an instantaneous alert from the foot of your driveway when a vehicle enters your property. False alarms which can be caused by wild animals are not a dilemma because this alert system won’t be triggered by deer or large animals. This is ideal for locations where there may be wildlife that can cause false signals with other motion detecting systems. Unlike other ordinary wireless driveway alert systems, the Wireless Probe Driveway Alert system includes a probe that’s buried at the base of your driveway and sends a signal to the transmitter when a car is detected. 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 sends a radio signal back to the receiver, which can be placed in your home even up to 3000 feet away.

Basic specifications

Buried driveway probe won’t send false alarms to transmitter
Transmitter sends radio signal to receiver up to 3000 feet away
Four different tones alert to breaches from up to four different transmitters
