Driveway Alarm Review

After deciding to buy a driveway alarm, comes the agonizing swim through the sea

of choices available in the online market today! If you"ve never purchased a driveway monitoring system before, faced with a massive sea of products can be extremely daunting, even for the technologically suave!

So, in the spirit of throwing out a lifeline to those in need, a simple breakdown of the major types of driveway alarms and their most common applications are represented here.

The first thing you always want to ask yourself when purchasing a driveway alarm "" is WHAT do you need to detect? Do you need to detect people and vehicles or simply vehicles?

The first type of driveway alarm we"ll look at is the Infrared Driveway Alarm.

Used to detect people, animals and cars, these monitors are great for long or short driveways, doorways that may have pedestrians or for use in perimeter property monitoring. Pros for this type of unit include the easy set-up (practically a plug in and walk away device), the fact that these are not a motion sensor activated unit "" these monitors use moving warmth as a trigger, so false alarms from branches and other debris are rare. A drawback with these types of units is the occasional false alarms from animals (assuming you"d only like to pick up people and vehicles).

The second type of driveway monitor we"ll be looking over today is the Magnetic Probe Driveway Alarm.

These monitors are used solely for detecting vehicles. They only sense moving metal and will not pick up people or animals. These are ideal for long or commercial driveways that are unlikely to need pedestrian traffic notification. These driveway alarms are also great for individuals who live in remote areas that see a lot of wild life. False alarms from deer or small mammals won"t bother you with these types of units.

The last type of driveway alarm that we"ll look at today is the Rubber Hose Driveway Alarm.

These driveway alarms are commonly used in drive thrus, gas stations and other types of heavy trafficked applications. Areas that recommend this product include ease of installation and maintenance, and being ideal for a large volume of vehicular movement. Drawbacks for these types of units include the wearing of the hose portion of the unit (though replacement is inexpensive), and the low success in cold, winter weather climates that see snow accumulation.

With a basic knowledge of the various types of driveway monitors available for you and/or your business, it is easier to make an informed decision based on facts rather than commercial hype. Choose wisely and happy shopping!
