Recommendations for Outdoor Motion Sensors for Driveway? open original image

Hi,



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?



It does *not* have to connect to my alarm system.



TIA.

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:

  1. A motion detector / transmitter that goes outside by the driveway.
  2. 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:

Hope this helps.

I have 1 optex motions on each side of my house to alert me if anyone walks up to it. They are excellent units.

I've sold both to clients and they are happy with them. The VA6000 is fun since you can program it to say anything.

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.

Is that in case the Binky guy comes snoopin'?? :-)

DAMN!

That sucker must work pretty damn good!!!

I posted that over a week ago. Donno what happened, but...I didn't do it!!!
