Infrared Driveway Alarms- It is such a Driveway Alarm System that helps in detection of movement or motion of people walking on the driveway. It also helps in detection of the moving vehicles or anything that is in motion such as an animal or any other object on the driveway, yard, entrance etc. It is a sort of driveway motion detector or driveway motion sensor as it helps in detection of anything which is in motion on the driveway.
Metal Sensing probes- These are the type of driveway alarm systems that work on the principle of magnetic metal detection. Under this system, the detection of only metal items in movement is detected at the place where these are installed. As an instance, the metal vehicles are detected with the help of these driveway alarm systems when the vehicles pass by it. In this case, detection of moving living beings such as people and animals is not possible. It is mostly useful at commercial places.
Rubber Air Hose driveway alarm system– It is such a driveway alarm system which helps in detection of the weight of vehicles moving over them. It is quite beneficial where there is frequent snowfall as its activity is not disturbed due to snow or ice. The rubber air hose is not blocked or disabled due to snow or ice. Such a system is used for detection of movement of heavy vehicles and where detection of people and animals is not required.
There are wired and wireless driveway alarm systems. In the former type, the driveway sensor and the detector are both connected via wires whereas in the latter type there is no need of wires. In wireless driveway alarm system, the entire unit works on the basis of remote control. But both these serve the same purpose. The only difference is the ease of installation. Wireless alarm systems are quite easy to be installed whereas wired alarm systems need installation of wires all through the pathway.
