I am after some home security, is there such a thing as a driveway alarm ?
Question:
Answers:
There are many instances where you need to know if someone is approaching your house from the driveway. Unless you have a clear vision of your driveway to front door this can sometimes be a problem. I am sure that many of you have experienced hearing the doorbell ring only to open your front door to traveling salesmen. There may also have been times when you were inconveniently surprised by guests. With driveway alarms you can greatly reduce this problem.
Since there are different types of driveway alarms you will need to see what sort of driveway alarms are best for your property. Since there are lots of security companies that claim that they can give you the best deal on your home security needs, a bit of research can provide you with information that will be helpful in making your final selection about driveway alarms and the companies that provide them. The best way to get this initial information will be from the internet.
Here you can look through the many different security systems and find out the various prices for each. In addition you can find what you will need to do to install these driveway alarms on your property. The other information that you should look for is the effectiveness of the different driveway alarms. Unless you will be able to detect the presence of someone on your property long before they reach your home, a short range or an ineffective warning system will not be of any use.

sounds interesting!
Sounds great! I wish their was... the best thing I can think of is "motion" detector lights. They are pretty easy to install and you can get the kit at your nearest Home Depot, Lowes, or favorite hardware store. Bright lights, especially at night detour people from coming into the yard.. in this case the driveway. You can install them all around your house if you wanted. Best of luck to you and your family!
i am sure there is but you will need a gate to fit it on
Yes there is, it's called a "loop detector". It works the same way traffic lights know when cars approach and when the flunkie at McDonald's know that a car is in the drive-thru. They are available for home installations from most better security companies.
Find a small (local to you security company) that will do custom installations. I don't think you'll be able to get Brinks (or similar) to do anything like this.
I guess you could find the details here http://www.sourcesecurity.com they have a section for intruder alarms
There are many types, but the simple way of setting one up DIY is to use one or more Friedland/Super Switch wireless PIR's SS6500 and an indoor Evo chime unit. Just make sure they are on the same frequency as this has changed recently. There will be no wiring required, and you can use as many movement detectors (PIR's) and chimes as you want. I've had one in my driveway for over six years.

yes there is its a device that spans your drive,opposite to each other,and when the beam is broken sets of a chime in your house? obviously set it so no one can see it if poss,and high enough so the average dog cat that strays in are not setting it off unnecessarily?
