Sure Action Probe Vehicle Detectors

Probe Systems

Sure Action Probes
Choose from Three Probe Systems

Sure Action probes trigger security cameras, lights, gates, sounders and more!  By using Sure Action probes, security and home automation installers can create outdoor vehicle detection systems that enable home owners to have the level of outdoor security they desire.

Sure Action Probe Vehicle Detectors 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 systems are passive, momentary devices that operate as triggers.  They are not meant to be used as security devices.  They do not responde to stationary metal.  The vehicles must be moving to be detected.   If the movement stops, the probes response becomes passive (inert) again.    

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

Sure Action P8500C Directional Probe

 

P8500 Directional Probe System
Different Responses Depending on Direction Vehicle is Travelling

Sure Action's Directional Probe enables installers to set up different responses depending on the direction a vehicle is travelling.  For example, the probe may trigger lights and a chime when a vehicle enters the driveway, but only trigger the lights when the vehicle departs.  Another example, directional probes can be used on long driveways to trigger lights sequentially so that only one section is illuminated at a time as the car enters and leaves.

Key Benefits:

  • Different functions based on the direction a vehicle is travelling;

  • Ability to detect vehicles travelling as slow as 1/2 mph;

  • Probe and processor can be up to 1,000 feet apart.

Individual Components (Required):

  • HA2 processor;

  • (2) P500-25 vehicle detectors and (1) SPLKT splice kit);

Sure Action Complete LP2C Battery-Operated Probe Package

 

Wireless (Battery-Operated) Probe System
Standard system (Tested to 2,000 feet); Long-range system (Tested to 4,000 feet)

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 battery-operated driveway probe option.

Benefits of a Wireless (Battery-Operated) Probe System:

  • Superior RF resistance;

  • High resistance to lightning and environmental conditions;

  • Increased profitability -- decrease manpower and installation time;

  • 25-foot lead provided on all probes included in the complete system  (If an application requires a longer lead length, please request.  We honor custom orders.);

  • Ability to add a second probe to the driveway system (P500 series probes);

  • 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 tranmitter and receiver are pre-programmed.

The NEMA III box should be mounted on a wooden post and should be as concealed as possible.  The transmitter included with 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.
