Driveway Vehicle Alert System

The PISKEKAT FM231 uses an electromagnetic sensor to detect moving metal within a three to twelve foot radius of the buried wand. A wireless transmitter sends the signal to a base station up to four hundred feet away, sounding a chime when a vehicle enters or leaves the driveway perimeter.

Installation And Power Requirements

The sensor wand must be buried next to the driveway and its sensitivity can be adjusted to suit the site. The system requires two AA batteries which are sold separately; the supplier notes that batteries should be installed near the sensor location for optimal learning and the unit includes low battery indicators.

Suitable For Vehicle Only Detection

This system suits homeowners or businesses wanting alerts triggered solely by cars or trucks while ignoring animals, children or other non metal movement. Buyers who need detection of people or animals, or who want a sensor that does not require burial, should look at a different type of driveway alarm.
