Aside from birthdays, few of us like surprises – especially when it comes to home security. We like to know who is approaching our home base and why. Driveway alarms can keep you prepared and free from surprises before they’re all the way to your front doorstep.
The all-seeing eye
You can adjust the sensor on this alarm for a smaller range, so you won’t experience as many false alarms. Part of your home security should include a driveway alarm. It could be as simple as alerting you that your next Sonoma County wine shipment is arriving, or just that your kids are coming home. This motion sensor and alarm can transmit a signal to you from as far away as one-half mile. It’s been tested around trees, buildings, and other vehicles, even in inclement weather. Let nefarious individuals know you’re prepared.

Musicians’ choice
The detectors use infrared technology so you can “see” if there’s anyone on your property. A driveway alarm should be your first line of defense in your home security system. Cameras are regularly installed on cars to keep kids safe, and the driveway alarm delivers peace of mind. What’s the cost of a little peace of mind? When the Girl Scout cookie delivery arrives, you can be alerted and get your wallet ready.
