Wireless Motion Alerts are very
popular units because they are easy to install and will detect both
vehicles and people walking. The radio operated drive alert consists of 2
parts - a transmitter and a receiver with 1 whistle. The receiver can be
located in your house and plugged into a standard wall outlet. The
weatherproof outside transmitter, operated by a 9 volt battery that
normally lasts 6 months to 1 year, should be located in the area of your
driveway. The transmitter sends out an invisible beam approximately 80
feet. The beam may be pointed in any direction since there is no reflector
needed at the end of the beam. If a vehicle or person enters this area,
the transmitter, which detects motion will send a radio signal up to 1000
feet back to the receiver in the house. This sounds a small whistle for
approximately 3 seconds to alert you and then shuts off automatically. In
the event that you do not want the whistle to sound at any particular
time, the receiver has an on-off switch.
The small transmitter (approximately 5” by 5”) can be mounted on a
tree, post, building, etc. up to 80 feet back from your driveway. It
should be mounted about 3 feet high to allow small animals to walk in the
area without being detected. The transmitter will detect large animals
such as deer, but is not bothered by the motion of trees and shrubs.
Several transmitters can be used with the same receiver. For example, you
may have 2 driveways, or you may want a transmitter in the garage, shop,
backyard, or even in the house. You can also have different receivers in
different locations of the house or other buildings. Each receiver comes
standard with 1 whistle.
The wireless drive alert can be part of a security system. For example, if
you’re on vacation, the transmitter can be moved into the house with the
beam directed through a central area. If someone enters the house, the
receiver has the ability to turn on lights, ring loud bells, and sirens.
Operating range: -30 F to 120 F |
