Get Advance Warning When People or Cars Approach Your Home
Whether you're constantly plagued by salespeople or if your friends and relatives just don't bother to call before they stop by, you don't need to be caught by surprise when someone approaches your home. With a few simple products, you can set it up so that you get advance warning any time a car or person approaches your home.

 One of the easiest ways to detect someone approaching your house is with motion-sensing floodlights. Replace those ordinary motion-sensing floodlights with X10 Motion-Sensing Floodlights, which will not only turn themselves on when motion is detected, they'll also activate X10-controlled lights or X10 chime modules inside the house. This is the most cost-effective way to get advance warning when people approach. $59.99
 You don't need to run wires or install an elaborate system in order to receive an immediate alert if motion is detected inside or near your home. The Household Motion Alert System is designed to monitor movement around your house, notifying you instantly if motion is detected via audible and visual indicators. Best of all, the Household Motion Alert System is easy to set up, with the sensor alerting the receiver wirelessly. Since the receiver accepts alerts from four separate sensors, you can expand this system to protect your entire house. $32.99
 One of our most affordable motion-sensing systems is the Reporter Wireless Driveway Alert System. Just place the battery-operated motion sensor near any location needing notification or protection — including driveways, business entrances, garages, and barns — and when it detects activity, the receiver unit inside the house will sound a tone. $79.99
 The Wireless Visitor Announcement System is just as easy to set up as the system described above, but this one allows you to wire it to your home's security system (with the optional single-relay receiver). This system is ideal if you want the motion sensor to trigger your alarm. Sale $189.99
 If you strictly want a highly reliable motion-sensing system that interacts with your home's security system, we recommend Sunlight-Immune Motion Detectors. These detectors feature Double Conductive Shielding that resists more than 50,000 lux of sunlight for highly stable performance in outdoor applications. $99.99+
 Another option that can interface with a security system is a Weatherproof Infrared Beam Motion Detector. These motion detectors are ideal for protecting walkways or other passages where you can place one beam unit on each side. The moment someone crosses the beam, the detectors will activate your security system. Sale $149.99

 If you only want to detect cars, not people, you may want to consider the Wireless Driveway Monitor, which is equipped with a magnetometer sensor, instead of an ordinary motion sensor. This ensures that it can only be triggered by vehicles, and it won't be accidentally set off by pets, people, or wind-blown trees. And since the sensor is battery-operated, installation is easy. $119.99
 The Solar Wireless Driveway Monitor works in a similar fashion, but since it's solar powered, you don't need to worry about running wires or replacing dead batteries, and with its 1000-foot range, the sensor will be able to signal your receiver, regardless of its placement in your house. $124.99
 For one of the most foolproof systems available, check out the Vehicle Sensor Console & Probe. It's similar to the system described above, but it uses hardwired transmission instead of wireless. This ensures the signal gets through without being affected by other factors that may weaken wireless transmission signals, like inclement weather or interference with other wireless devices. And since the magnetic sensor is buried, it's totally immune to false alarms caused by animals, swaying trees and people. $249.99
 Need a system that can tell if a vehicle is approaching or leaving? Then take a look at the Bi-Directional Driveway Probe System. It's the only driveway sensor system that distinguishes between cars traveling toward your house and away from it. It can even perform different functions based on that directional information. For instance, if you want to hear a warning chime when a car approaches your home but not when one of your family members leaves the house, this system will perform admirably. $499.99
 Is your property set back on a large land parcel, without a clear line of sight to the driveway entrance? Then it's time to bring out the big guns: the Long-Range Battery-Operated Vehicle Sensor System, which alerts you with a chime the moment a vehicle turns onto your driveway, up to 1,000 feet away. You can even program it to prompt your home automation system to activate other functions, like turning on lights, opening free-access gates and much more. Sale $699.99
