Driveway Sensor Alert Systems
Sure Action driveway sensor alert systems trigger security cameras, lights, gates, sounders and more!  By using Sure Action driveway sensors (probes), security installers can create outdoor alert systems that will enable homeowners to have the level of outdoor security they desire. 

Sure Action Driveway Sensor Alert Systems monitor the earth's magnetic field.   When a vehicle moves through the monitored space, it creates a disturbance in the field and generates a small voltage signal that is sent to a processor.   In turn, a relay triggers that drives the resulting action (turn on lights, sound a chime in the home, turn on a video camera, trigger a gate operating system, and more).   Our driveway sensors are passive, momentary devices that operate as triggers.   They are not meant to be used as security devices.  They do not respond to stationary metal.   The vehicles must be moving to be detected.  If the movement stops, the probe response becomes passive (inert) again.

Sure Action's probes (driveway sensors) can detect a vehicle moving as slowly as 1/2 mile per hour and work for driveways as wide as 14 feet.  

The Outdoor Motion Sensor Alert System uses infrared technology to detect not just the vehicles that travel a driveway, but the pedestrians too.   Sure Action's Outdoor Motion Sensor takes probe systems to a new level. 

Here's just a couple of ways Sure Action's WDS motion system benefits homeowners:

• Driveway lights can automatically turn on for both cars and pedestrians using one piece of equipment.
• Gates leaving property can open for vehicles and pedestrians
• Saves money and energy.  Lights can turn on as needed rather than using an automated timer saving energy.  Addressing both vehicles and pedestrians with one piece of equipment saves money.
  
  

Wireless Driveway Alert System (Probe)
Sure Action's Battery-Operated Probes are a "must have" for installations where trenching is difficult or where the application is in a remote location.  Now in the 5th generation!

While individual components are available for purchase and the processor can be paired with any transmitter, Sure Action has partnered with Innovonics, one of the leading names in wireless, to provide installers with a complete wireless driveway sensor option.

Benefits of a Wireless (Battery-Operated) System:

• Superior RF resistance
• High resistance to lightning and environmental conditions.
• Increased profitability - decreases manpower and installation time.
• 25-foot lead provided on all probes included in complete system  (If an application requires longer lead length, please request.  We honor custom orders.)
• Ability to add a second driveway sensor to one system (P500 Series probe)
• System responds only to moving ferrous metal.

Complete System includes a NEMA III enclosure that houses the transmitter, processor (conformal coated), and batteries.   The driveway sensor (probe) has a standard 25 foot lead.  A receiver, sounder, and power supply are supplied for inside a building.  The transmitter and receiver are pre-programmed.

NEMA III box should be mounted on a wooden post and should be as concealed as possible.  The transmitter included in the system is tested to 2,000 feet in open air (Line of sight at four feet above ground level.)  The system includes lithium batteries enabling it to be used in all climates.

Packages:

• WP5C - Complete Battery-Operated Probe System - WP5 Processor, Transmitter, Receiver, N3BOX, (2) 9VBL, P500 with 25' 22/2 shielded burial cable, 12 VDC5, CHIMEPLT (tested to 2,000 ft)

• WP5B - Basic Battery-Operated Probe Package - WP5 Processor, P500 Probe with 25' 22/2 shielded burial cable, N3BOX, (2) 9VBL.  Chime and wireless equipment sold separately.
  

Directional Probe Driveway Alert
Sure Action's Direction Probe Driveway Alert Sensor enables installers to set up different responses depending on the direction a vehicle is travelling.  For example, an installer  can have lights turn on and a chime sound when a car enters a driveway, but only have the lights turn on as the car leaves the home.  Another example, directional probes can be used on long driveways to trigger lights so that only one section at a time lights as the car enter and leaves saving energy and money.

Key Benefits:

• Different functions based on the direction the vehicle is travelling
• Ability to detect vehicles moving as slow as 1/2 mph
• The probe and processor can be up to 1 mile apart.

Individual Components:

• 212 Processor
• P8000 Driveway Alert Probe or two P5050 Driveway Sensors
• 22/4 Shielded Burial Cable
• Optional Parts:  Timed Relay (TM60), Photocell (ON/OFF), CHIMEPLT (Chime mounted on a white plate with on/off switch), P500-50 (Use as a "check" probe - added protection during lightning storms.)

Packaged Systems:

• P8000C - Complete Directional Probe Driveway Alert Sensor Package:  Includes 212 processor, P8000 Probe, 12 VDC Power Supply, 16.5 VAC Plug-In Transformer, 12 VB1, N3BOX, CHIMEPLT

Standard Probe Driveway Alert System
Sure Action's Standard vehicle motion sensor is our most longstanding probe.  Manufactured since 1989, this probe's signal is strong enough to generate a pulse that can be detected by a processor even when the wire has been spliced.  In addition, the probe can be up to 1 mile away from the processor.

Key Benefits:

• Probe can detect vehicles travelling as slow as 1/2 mph
• Probe is splice-friendly
• Probe can be 1 mile away from the processor.

Individual Components:

• 111 Processor
• P5050 Driveway Sensor (Probe)
• 22/4 Shielded Burial Cable
• Optional Parts - Timed Relay (TM60), Photocell (ON/OFF), Chime (CHIME, CHIMEPLT)

P5050C - Complete Standard Driveway Alert Sensor (Probe) Package:  Includes 111 Processor, P5050 Probe, 12 VDC Power Supply, 16.5 VAC Plug-In Transformer, 12 VB1, Groundhog (GRND - Lightning Surge Suppressor), N3BOX, CHIMEPLT

Basic Probe Driveway Alert System
Sure Action's  "traditional" probe.  Ideal for the installer who prefers pre-cut wire lengths.  Driveway sensor comes with your choice of wire lengths:  50', 125', 250', 500' or 1000'.   Wire is 22/2 shielded burial cable.

Key Benefits:

• Cost effective
• No need to splice
• Variety of wire lengths from which to choose

Components Needed:

• P500 Processor or P500B (P500 Processor, N3BOX, 12 VDC5)

• Chime, other sounder or lighting controls

WDS Outdoor Motion Sensor Alert System
A "must have"  for applications where homeowners want security lighting, gate operations or sounders to trigger whether a person arrives in a car or on foot.   The WDS Motion Sensor can also detect large animals.  Using infrared technology, the WDS motion sensor detects heat energy generated by any large moving object.  This motion alert sensor provides coverage over a 4' to 40' area.   It is coated for outdoor use and preprogrammed for easy installation.

Key Benefits:

• Ideal for areas where trenching is difficult
• Detects living beings as well as vehicles
• Easy installation

Individual Components:

• Vehicle Sensor
• Transmitter and Receiver
• Chime plate
• Plug-In Power Converter

Note:   The WDS motion sensor can be used instead of the wireless probe.  It is important to note that the wireless probe is more effective in detecting vehicle traffic during severe weather conditions.
