I need to put some kind of outdoor motion sensor that will provide an audible tone in front of my house pointing at my driveway. Does anyone have any recommendations? Something I could perhaps order online?
There are two items I sell online that might be of interest. One is called a "VA-6000S VoiceAlert Wireless Annunciator System". It consists of two components:
A motion detector / transmitter that goes outside by the driveway.
A wireless receiver that plays back your recorded message, ("Warning: Intruder in Driveway") or whatever when it gets a signal from the outdoor sensor.
Here's a link:

The second system is made by Optex. It's called a "RCTD-10U Wireless 1000 Driveway Annunciator" It does essentially the same thing, except it makes chime sounds -- no voice recording. Here's a link:
I have had this one installed with a single sensor for a couple of years. It works fine, but as with all exterior PIRs, is susceptible to false alarming. Changing the battery once a year is a bit of a pain if it's mounted high.
