Wireless driveway alarms are a popular choice for homes and businesses that require a little additional security. They can alert home residents when someone enters the property via a driveway or serve to alert businesses that a customer has driven onto the parking lot. As with anything else, however, there are ingenious people who have come up with outside-the-box ways to make driveway alerts serve their own purposes. These are some of the more creative ways that +Wireless Driveway Alarms Biz has seen customers use driveway sensors.
Know When Your Teen Driver Gets Home at Night
Whether you’re waiting up at night to find out when your teen driver gets home, or making sure that a loved one who works nights gets home safely, a wireless driveway alert can notify you that they’re home. Even better, your wireless driveway alarm can send a signal that turns on the outdoor lights so they can get from the car to the front door safely, and even light the door so they don’t have to fumble to get a key in the lock.
Set Up a Safety Alert to Keep Your Children Safe
While some driveway alarms will only signal if a large metal object passes, there are also much more sensitive driveway alerts that will go off when people and animals break their sensor beams. These more sensitive driveway alarms can warn you if your children wander outside the limits you’ve set. One family installed a wireless driveway alarm at the entrance to their outdoor swimming pool. Not only does it let them know if one of the children goes into the enclosure, it safeguards their pool – and the lives of neighborhood kids who might sneak in during the night.
Keep An Eye on Remote Buildings and Areas
While many driveway alarm systems will only detect motion within a very limited range – the width of the driveway – others are far more wide-ranging. Wireless driveway alarms with infrared motion sensors or magnetic driveway sensors can often detect any large metal objects or movements within a 50-100 foot area. These provide a great way to keep a remote eye on barns, outbuildings and warehouses that are located further away from the home or main worksite.
Wireless driveway alarms are very affordable, and many are easy to install yourself. Contact a supplier of driveway sensors and alarms to learn more about how a driveway alert can make your home or business more secure.
