Essential Info

This vehicle sensor works in conjunction with Vehicle Sensor Probes that are available in 100', 200', 350', 500' and 1000' lengths. Simply bury the probe next to your driveway. The console will then buzz whenever a car approaches! Up to 2 probes may be attached to each console. For full featured integration, the console also has 2 SPDT relay outputs which allow you to connect to a security and/or automation system. Cable lengths can be added to for a custom length of up to 2500'. Cable is sold in 200' spools. A splice kit is required for each extension added to maintain a weatherproof seal.

    Have had to unplug twice to keep from giving false signal. We will see if this was just a fluke.

    I've been using mine for 15 years & it works very well. Having trouble right trying to diagnose & repair. We miss it while it is down.
    MARK -- oberlin, OH   7/23/2010
    This is a replacement for one that had gone bad after 7 years of service. I stuck with the brand because it performs very well and the support is excellent.

    Nice system, but there seems to be quality issues on the built-in buzzer. The buzzer didn't work at all on the first unit I received. Smarthome promptly replaced it, but the new one isn't much better. It works intermittently, at random times. The tone is pretty obnoxious anyway, so I plan to use an external chime.

    Works Fine
    ANDY -- chesapeake, VA   5/12/2005
    Works Great
    JEFF -- upper marlboro, MD   12/10/2004
    Very easy to install. Having extra outs for an external buzzer and light is very nice.
    KEVIN -- danbury, CT   8/31/2004
