The Driveway Alert is easy to install and operate...

 
The Driveway Alert is easy to install and even easier to operate! Simply mount the two SolarBeams on each side of your driveway, plug in the wireless receiver and you are ready to go!

         

The SolarBeam works by sending an invisible laser beam across your driveway. When this beam is broken, a radio signal is sent back to the receiver in your house, office or workshop which sounds a buzzer (or activates an alarm) to let you know an intruder (or visitor) has been detected.

Configuration options:
   Add up to 6 SolarBeam pairs to one receiver. If additional beams are required, simply add another receiver.
   Add the M01 Auto Dial Receiver which can be used to automatically dial up to 6 preset phone numbers when an intruder is detected. Uses your existing landline.
   Add a siren or flashing light for an immediate signal that a beam has been broken.
 
Other great features:
   The SolarBeam units can easily be mounted to either walls or poles with the mounting brackets supplied.
   The Driveway Alert Receiver can interface with your existing wired alarm!
   The SolarBeam receiver allows you to easily identify which of the 6 zones has been triggered.
   The same SolarBeams can be used in either the Driveway Alert system or the Perimeter Protection system.
 
More about the SolarBeam units
The SolarBeam units always work in pairs. One unit acts as the transmitter (or sender) and the other unit acts as the receiver.

The units are fully self-contained with built in solar panels and battery backup to power them. Combined with the units’ small size this makes for very easy, inconspicuous, installation. They can be mounted on a post or a building wall.

The SolarBeam is both wireless and solar powered so you can set it up anywhere, even up to 500 metres away from the receiver unit*, without the hassle and expense of finding a power source. And, once fully charged, the Solarbeam can work continuously for more than 30 days without sunlight!

*NOTE: re radio path – the SolarBeam maybe installed be up to 500 metres from the receiver under optimum conditions i.e. clear line of sight with no obstructions or interfering signals. The presence of obstructions or interfering signals (including other wireless devices and electric fence noise) will reduce the maximum possible range. If obstructions are a problem talk to us about using our Booster Box to overcome the problem.

The rechargeable batteries in the beam units have a finite life. This life will depend on a number of factors including the amount of sunlight the unit receives, how often the unit is triggered and how accurately the units are aligned. NOTE: As battery life is dependent on conditions of use, batteries are not covered by the warranty.

   
  More about the Driveway Alert Receiver
The receiver is simple to install. Place it in a suitable location in your house, office, or workshop where it has a clear radio signal from each of the SolarBeams, and connect the power. There is a separate LED on the receiver for each SolarBeam pair so you know exactly which beam has been broken.

The receiver has a built in buzzer which is about the same volume as the bell on your telephone. If you require something louder than the built in buzzer, then the relay contacts may be used to activate an additional buzzer or lights.
   

Optional Extras:

     
  SolarBeam M01 Auto Dial Receiver
The SolarBeam M01 Auto Dial Receiver is the ultimate expansion to any of our SolarBeam™ systems. When going outside around the house, farm or even going on holiday you'll want to know when someone comes up the driveway or is snooping around your warehouse or barn! Now you have the option to be alerted anywhere in the world via your mobile phone or landline phone with the SolarBeam M01! It only takes a few minutes to setup.

Unlike pager systems that give you a limited alerting range the M01 Auto Dial Receiver has no range limitations! As long as your mobile phone has reception you will be notified of an intruder/visitor anywhere, anytime with a 10 second pre-recorded voice message. (up to 6 pre-set phone numbers can be dialed)
(Note: This system runs using your landline network phoning out. This unit is not a GSM module dialer.)
