Trademark Driveway Patrol Infrared Wireless Home Security Alarm System

Saw this item in an As Seen On TV store on the mall for $40. It cost less than half that, when I ordered it from Walmart. Free shipping to store too. It works perfectly. I was pleasantly surprised at the lack of false alarms, yet it alarmed whenever a human walked through the protected area. Very easy set up. The alarm units takes three "C" batteries, but will work with a 200 ma 5 V power supply (not supplied). Motion sensor uses one 9V battery. Alarm unit has low and loud settings, also an on-off switch. I use it to monitor anyone cutting through my backyard. I am very satisfied.

tHE DRIVEWAY PATROL IS BEING USE AS A CAR ALARM BY PLACING IT IN THE BACK WINDOW OF THE CAR. I WORK AT DIFFERENT HOMES DOING ODD JOBS AND IF SOME ONE OPENS MY CAR UP I KNOW IT. IT WORK AT GOOD RANGE 60 FEET OR BETTER. AND THE ALARM PART IS IN MY TOOL BOX.

Works great and has incredible range. I live on a mountain, deep in the woods. I cannot see the beginning of my driveway from the house, but the sensor works from way down there. It does pick up the occasional wildlife that ventures by, but I'd rather have a false alarm than an unexpected "visitor."

We were looking for a way to alert in-home caregivers when mom got out of bed at night. The pressure pads were too expensive and we didn't want didn't want to string wires - just needed a way to wake up and go to help her. We were concerned about frightening mom with anything that made a loud noise in mom's bedroom. This driveway alarm turned out to be a pretty good inexpensive solution. The unit that makes noise is portable so it can go into whichever room the caregiver is sleeping or be carried about the house if doing laundry, etc. There are two volume settings. The low setting is loud enough to wake a nearby sleeping attendant without rousing the entire household. The motion detection unit can be mounted to a wall. We just set it on a dresser and pointed to an area about a step away from the bed. It doesn't pick up any movement in the bed, so not many false alarms. If someone else enters the motion detection zone the alarm will sound of course, waking the caregiver, but this system would be ideal if a caregiver is alone in the home with a senior. We've tested throughout a single-story house and it worked everywhere.

We installed one at our office so we can hear clients coming in on the lower level. 5 minute set up and works like a charm. Great value! Highly recommend it!

My kids sleep walk so I use this at the end of my hallway. The chime is loud enough to wake me up if they go past a certain point. The sensor works really good.

I've had this monitor for a couple of weeks and I like it. My front porch is enclosed on 3 sides with the door on one side. I mounted the monitor on the other side wall so that it faces my door (my mail box is beside my door). If anyone walks up on my porch the inside receiver is plenty loud for me to hear it over my noisy window air conditioner and the TV. I can not hear my regular doorbell over the noise of the AC and TV but this thing is a lot louder. It doesn't pick up most of the traffic on my little street since it faces the opposite side of my porch and not straight toward the street which is only about 30 feet away. The exception is if something big, like the garbage truck passes, it will pick that up, and occasionally a fast car. It doesn't go off if the cat comes onto the porch, but I think a bird flew very close to it one day and that got it. I like that it let's me know the minute the mailman comes, of if I have company. I turn the receiver off at night so that it doesn't disturb my sleep.

I bought 2 after i recived them, the one on ch 1 put at one end of driveway, works great, but! the one on ch 2 I could not get it to work, put new batt's in 4 times, still would not do any, I returned it to the store, still like the one I have, going to get 2 more, hope they will all work, (live in the woods,need them)

I got this item for my work as a way to alert me when a customer pulls into out lot. It has a tendency to go off when a big truck goes by on the road but its a little reluctant to go off when a pickup pulls into the lot. I'm still trying to figure out an angle that will correct both these problems. Also the receiver has to be much closer to the motion detector than I anticipated. I can't get it to work if they are more that 40 or 50 feet apart.

First, I had to purchase a TINY screwdriver to remove the screws from the backs of both the sensor and the alarm in order to install the batteries. (New batteries, expiration dates of 2024 and 2025). Once the batteries were installed, the alarm beeped after about 30 seconds, so I assumed (never do that!) that all was good. Installed battery on the sensor, hung it on a tree close to our driveway, put the sensor in the room of the house nearest the driveway, and waited. Several vehicles came into and went out of the driveway, a few people did the same, and the alarm never did anything. My husband and I tested it several times, moving the alarm closer and closer to the sensor in a 180 degree arc, and still it did not alarm. I removed the battery one of the components, and attempted to remove the batteries from the other, but one of the tiny screws was stripped, so I could not open the back. This will be returned to Walmart as soon as possible for a refund. PIECE OF JUNK.
