Spectrum Wireless Driveway Alarm Description
This Professional British made single channel Industrial Driveway Alarm is ideal for protecting an entrance gate or driveway approach on large premises and farms providing one of the longest range alarms in the country. With a standard range of 400 - 500 meters (line of sight) there is little to rival this kit. The PIR Movement Detector supplied with the basic kit comes already housed within a UV Stabilised weatherproof heavy duty ABS Plastic housing and the Receiver Unit simply plugs into the mains electricity with the Adaptor provided and may be stood on a desk or mounted to a wall. Fully ready to use and comes with a 2 year Guarantee for peace of mind.
This really is the next step in the evolution of wireless driveway technology following years of experience on farms in the UK resulting in the ultimate wireless system. The range of this driveway alarm may be extended by the use of an aerial fitted either to the receiver or the sensor (see accessories below)which will effectively double the range or even extend the range to over a mile. You may install additional detectors at any time (although as this basic kit has only a single channel, you won’t know which sensor has triggered) however this may not be a problem if, for example, you want 2 movement detectors, one located at the main gate and another at nearby entrance. Although you wont know exactly which one has detected movement, you will still be aware that someone is approaching.
There is also a relay output which allows the user to add a Flashing Light or Siren (see accessories below) to ensure that any alarm is not missed!
The PIR Movement Detector operates from 2 x AA batteries (not supplied) which in normal use, will last about 12 months depending upon how often the PIR is triggered. The width of this 'corridor style' oval shaped Infra-Red Beam is just 1m at the furthest range with a maximum beam range of 30 metres. As this produces a narrow beam (rather like a narrow torch beam) the detector will generally be above the height of normal animals so as to help avoid false alarms.
The Receiver will sound for several seconds or 2 minutes or constantly (user defined), will also inform you of a low battery on any sensor connected to it and will also trigger an alarm if any sensor is tampered with.
All in all, this is a truly professional piece of kit for the serious minded who need to know if anyone or any vehicle is approaching the farmhouse, warehouse, storage areas, distribution depots etc.
Ideal for protecting the approach to animal sheds, stables, barns with expensive machinery, farmyards, farm shops, Loading bays, unmanned reception rooms, and store rooms as well as large house driveways, gardens and garages etc.
If distance is a problem, simply add a 'whip antenna' to the receiver and you effectively double the range or fit a YAGI Directional Antenna which will boost the signal up to 2km (see accessories below).
For full professional protection you should consider the 8 Channel Receiver Unit (see accessories below) which will permit you to attach many sensors covering 8 channels so you know exactly which one has seen movement. During the day this unit may be set to simply 'chime' the arrival of anybody but at night, it becomes a full alarm system sounding a loud warning to you and in each case, the light corresponding to the channel activated, will have a flashing LED.

Spectrum Driveway Alarm Additional PIR Description
Why not order an extra PIR Movement Detector to add to your Spectrum Driveway Alarm System? You may still add extra detectors to protect perhaps the side entrance to your house or garden or maybe put one in the back garden or the shed or garage so you know if anyone is prowling around. Although the Receiver unit with the system only has a single channel for receiving movement signals, you will still know whenever somebody is on your property.
You should choose between either:
Horizontal Wide Angle 'FAN' style invisible beam:
Covers up to 14 meters length and about 4m wide absolutely ideal for protecting inside a barn, garage or shed for example.
Normal Long Range corridor beam (as supplied with the original kit):
'TORCH' type beam reaching up to 35m and gradually spreading out to about 1m wide at the end of the beam. Designed for covering a driveway or entrance gate.
These PIR's operates on 2 x AA batteries (not supplied) and in normal use will last about 12 months.
