There are constantly new and improved innovations introduced in the home security market. One of the more useful innovations is the Wireless driveway alarm, which is most commonly just an infrared sensor that detects motion. The benefits of driveway alarm are many, while the cost of an added layer of security is minimal. A good quality driveway alarm can be found for less than $50 very easily.

A simple wireless driveway alarm usually consists of two parts, the first part is the sensor, which is placed at a strategic point near the start of your driveway. This sensor detects motion either of a vehicle or a person/animal. When the sensor detects motion, it transmits a signal to the receiver in your home or business, which sets off an alarm notifying you that there is a person or object entering your driveway. Obviously, you could also use these type of driveway alarms in other areas of your property, where ever you are concerned about human or animal intruders. Most of these driveway alarms have a good range of up to 400 -500 feet, while premium driveway alarms can have ranges up to 2 miles!
