I currently have an X10 driveway motion sensor. It detects way too many
things, clouds, neighbors, birds...
I guess I need an positive beam breaking system. Anyone have one they like?

Thanks

Al

Consider Cartel detectors. Best out there. Get them at Worthington

Another vote for Cartel. I've used three of them (they detect direction
of motion on a "Y" shaped road) for over 5 years and never had a
problem. Since they respond to ferrous metals, they don't detect
people, animals, etc., only vehicles. Mine are buried about 1 foot down
in a gravel road with the cable in pvc conduit.

Not only are they good, they are built right here in Lancaster County,
Pennsylvania. I will pass your good comments on to Leroy then next time I
stop in at Preferred Technology to pick up one. Good people and very
knowledgeable.
