Battery-powered and easy to mount, it provides instant audible alerts upon detecting vehicles or people, ensuring your home stays secure day and night. ## Description Product Description Keep track of the comings and goings on your property with this motion-activated alert system. When a vehicle or person passes the sensor, the receiver emits an audible tone and lets you know someone's there. Use it to monitor the mailbox, the driveway, the garage or the front door. Battery power and 400-foot range means no wiring is necessary. Notes: Operates on three C-cell batteries or one 9-volt battery (Batteries Not Included) When a visitor-wanted or unwanted-approaches a house on foot or in a vehicle the motion-detecting sensor unit of this warning device sends a signal to the receiver indoors, which chimes an alert. The device is wireless and has a 400-foot range. It requires three C-cell batteries for the receiver and one 9-volt battery for the transmitting sensor. (Batteries are not included.) The sensor is housed in weather-resistant plastic, installs with a screw on any surface, such as a mailbox post, garage, or door, and measures 4-1/4 inches high, 2-5/8 inches wide, and 2-1/4 inches deep. The portable receiver has an identical housing, can be set to chime high or low (or turned off), and measures 5 inches high, 3-5/8 inches wide, and 1-1/2 inches deep. -Fred Brackdesertcart.comWhen a visitor--wanted or unwanted--approaches a house on foot or in a vehicle the motion-detecting sensor unit of this warning device sends a signal to the receiver indoors, which chimes an alert.

Water proof the easy quick cheap way! - Ok everybody i have been reading all these reviews and no one discovered what i did! Ok i found that the transmitter will not go through glass. So putting it in a jar will not work to protect it from rain sleet heavy fog snow etc. Fog could be worse than rain because it could draw damp inside. But what i found is that the signal goes through plastic just fine!!!!! I use a clear plastic sandwich bag and tape it shut and it works very good. Now you need to put the bag on like you would put on a car cover (Drape it down over the top) then tape it at the bottom and around the screw. If you use the dollar store clear shiny tape or packing tape it holds very well and you have to tear the bag to change the battery the tape will not come loose. That will protect your transmitters even from blowing rain. I did not test all kinds of plastic but it works even with thick soft plastic. The kind of container lunch meat comes in with the snap on lid. It works to 20 feet or more with baggies to detect movement. I did not test for long distance between transmitter and reciever but if someone does please post the results. Very thin plastic wrap may work even better for distance? I have had my driveway alerts for 14 months and they are working very good. one other review here said they had one that worked for 5 years. For the price they can't be beat!!! When the transmitter battery gets down to about 6 volts it will start alarming constant because it does not have enough power to reset itself. Alot of people are complaining about birds and deer and dogs and cats setting it off well that is what the sensor should do! It is a PIR sensor that is what it does detect heat. Even the ones that cost much more will still pick up dogs and deer. Unless you get a very pricey one then it may not give as many false alarms. But as said here in a recent review that if you take some time and point the sensor correct it will greatly reduce the false alarms. It is a good idea to put it in a bird house to hide it and protect it from the rain. I think it is great for security. This could alert you BEFORE someone gets in your house. Then they can not sneek up on you when you are asleep! You will have a advantage because you will be ready for them and you know the house better than they do! And then you can take them OUT!!!!! OH YES YOU CAN!!!! A burglary happens every 14 seconds in the US. (Google it) I like it because it is 100% wireless and the batterys in the reciever are still working after 14 months! You can also plug it into a 4.5 volt adaptor. I turn it off when away and in the day unless i am expecting someone. I bought 3 and think they are very good for the price $7.00 for the transmitter and $7.00 for the reciever. Review: Purchased 4, 5 months ago and can write a review now - I purchased 4 Driveway Patrols from desertcart 5 months ago from under Werehouse Deals for $6.99 each because the boxes was crushed a little. desertcart said it was over 90 days and seems my feedback was to late. So I hope this helps someone For me to write a Honest opinion, I could not write it in 1 month sorry lol. After receiving them, As usual I had to take one apart to see how it could be waterproof. I was impressed with the design for the cost. Putting it back together I noticed a o-ring {rubber washer} same as on the battery door I coated both with Vaseline for a better seal and extend the life of the rubber. 2 was placed in the weather and 2 was placed under cover. The 2 outside I cut a piece of foam plate about 2 inches wider then the Sensor and formed a 45 degree V useing a hair dryer and placed it just above the screw before I placed the Sensor up. That was the only place I saw that might catch water while I had it apart. I have not had a problem out of any of them. I live in S.C. on 2 creek's and the weather is brutal here at times. Wildlife and big falling leaves do set them off but to me that is expected. I use just 2 of the Receivers about 70 ft. apart and at times both don't go off, Which is a good thing, But one or the other always goes off if someone breaks the beam. Day time they pick up father then at night and it depends on where you put them, I have one spot I tried 3 Sensors at, Because it picks up over 100 ft. lol They change with the weather which I would say is normal. My biggest worry was having to buy batteries, But I went 3 months before having to replace the sensor batteries { 9 volt } Which I think is great, But as with all batteries I purchased rechargeable ones on sale from desertcart because now I can't see doing without my Sensors. You can tell when they are starting to get weak because they don't pick up as well. As far as the Recivers, One I have never had to change the batteries in yet, But I do turn it off on most days and the other one, lol { Not Recommand } I had a 120 volt AC/DC Adapter with output 5 volt, 1 amp as it requires a 4.5 volt output ;) Figured I had 2 more if I burned one up lol Seems to work fine. I need to mention that I took Ind Elec.Eng. in school and did it with precations. On the box it says Range is 400 ft. I can not get over 200 to 250 ft Range, Maybe under other conditions. I'll give you another update on their 1 yr. Anniversary. ;) As far as would I trust my life on them, I do every night. TC & GB Wayne PS If You look close, There's only about 1/4 in. wide opening from top to bottom, behind all that lens, That amazed me lol Driveway Patrol Sensor and Receiver Kit Driveway Patrol Sensor and Receiver Kit I would like to add also with rain and snow that over time that nothing will last and this is a simple way to help prolong the life of your sensor. Take same foam plate or use a little calking and cut the side or curve out of 20 oz. to 2 liter plastic bottle about 4 or 5 inches long and place it sideways just above the sensor so that the curve comes up and goes over the top of it, I placed my a little behind the top with 2 thumb tacks to hold it in place and again used a hair dryer to form it down a little and this will keep the rain off it without interfearing with the beam, Makes a great lil rain and snow shield. ;)) Enjoy and if I can help or if your have any questions, Please feel free to ask. Sry it was last that nite and I forgot to add that part. HMMMM Think I got sometimers, Not Alzheimer's lol ;)) Again TC $ GB Wayne ## Features - Driveway Patrol infrared wireless alert system allows you to detect any motion during the day and night time. - Use it to monitor your driveway or mailbox.

It is best not to purchase this via mail-order as there is no guarantee that more than one willl have the same frequency. There are packs of more than 1 being sold on Amazon. These packs should have the same frequency. 1 receiver WILL work if both sensors/receivers are the same frequency. The frequency is displayed on the round paper label on the rear. Example: CH17. 17 is the frequency. Purchase 5 boxes with the 17 and only 1 receiver is needed for all 5 sensor/transmitters.Harbor Freight sells them in-store and you can buy as many sets (sensor and receiver) as you want with the same frequency and save batteries by only using 1 receiver.You can set up zone systems. Say 2 on one side of the house, 4 on another, 1 to watch a fence gate, etc., etc., etc., and when the lights go off you know where the security threat is coming from. **Q: What kind of sound it makes when it goes off?** A: When it senses motion within it's range it makes a beeping sound. The volume can be turned off or set to low or high. The directions suggest the width of it's range can be adjusted by adding strips of tape to narrow it's field. I have not tried that. It sometimes gives me false alarms if a particularly large or slow vehicle passes by, like the UPS truck or the mail truck. Because my garage protrudes from the front of my house, my view of the driveway is blocked. The signal has proven very helpful in alerting me to someone in my driveway. **Q: you install it outside, across a walkway to get alerts if a person approaches. A chime sounds inside your house, so you know a person is approaching?** A: That is correct. The one part goes outside where someone will cross it's path and when they do it other part is in your house on batteries or you can buy the electric plug in (which I did). Remember when you install it to make sure it is not facing a road where it will go off every time a car goes by or something like that. I had installed one that faced my daughters house that went across her driveway to alert her if the youngest started to walk away from the yard. Two weeks ago my daughter was at the store and it was late when the alarm went off. My oldest Granddaughter looked out the upstairs window and saw a pair of sneakers in the dark and then realized a man was standing there and she called the cops and they came an arrested him! They work!!!!!!! **Q: Does it chime only once and stop after its path is crossed or does it keep chiming?** A: Hello. I have one of these, and when something crosses its path, it chimes several times then stops. Unless the thing that's making it chime is still moving in its field of vision, then it will keep chiming. It sounds like this . . . "ding-dong, ding-dong, ding-dong, ding-dong" Hope this answers your question. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works very good!

One came from the east coast and the other from AZ. Both arrived on the 4th day following my order placement. Each unit appeared in good working order when batteries were installed. (Note: When you turn them on there is a 15-30 second time frame to stabilize.) I placed one inside and one outside using one receiver. (Note: All driveway patrol units have ONE frequency that they use.) More on the in a minute. After an hour I started having an increase in false alarms and realized that the unit outside was in direct sunlight and I placed a shade over the top. All false alarms went away after the 30 second reset period. In order to confirm this sensitivity to sunlight I switched the units and had the same result. The next thing I wanted to know as the actual area of coverage. Using the indoor unit I determined the area to be approximately 15 degrees wide for each unit. The farther away from the sensor you are the wider the area of coverage. (like a slice of pie) Sensitivity distance is dependent on the object size and speed of transition across the sensed area. More importantly, the difference in temperature (called the Temperature Differential or Delta 'T') between the local area (Ambient Mean Temperature - AMT) and the moving object has the greater influence on how each sensing unit "Decides" when to trigger an alarm. For example: A person running directly across the path of the sensitive area will trigger an alarm far more often where-as a cat strolling across at an angle may not. Both of my units sensed my walking at a casual pace 50 feet away from the units. And both units triggered an alarm at 100 feet during the cool evening and night time hours from a passing car. Next, I wanted to determine if the "400 foot" transmitting distance was actually achievable. After several attempts to send a trigger 400' I'm convinced that 400' feet is the theoretical distance that the signal strength can be recognized by the receiving unit. This distance was not achieved under normal operation. But I was able to get an alarm signal at that distance with a parabolic reflective surface behind the receiver which helped focus the weak signal. Note: this distance is based on line of sight and is reduced by signal absorbing objects such as walls, chain link fences and other solid obstructions. In the end I believe that the greatest influence for false signals is the sun. But in chatting with other owners I've also become aware that in urban environments there is a possibility that one or more of your neighbors may have a system just like yours. If you've never had any false signals and all of the sudden you start getting them it very well may be that one of your neighbors has just installed one or more units and you're able to pick up their transmitter. I say this because of the specifications that indicate that there is only ONE frequency for every Driveway Patrol sold. If you have neighbors with these installed within your reception range, you're more than likely to get their signals and they will be picking up yours. Keep that in mind when considering the purchase of the DP system. SO... What's my final take on the Driveway Patrol motion sensor? It does what it claims to do, almost. Set-up is important and proximity to other systems can be a big pain. If your in an area with a lot of activity these things will indeed drive you crazy. The constant beeping (aka Radio Shack entrance chime) of the false alarms will make you turn it off. The volume has TWO settings... Loud and LOUDER. They aren't discrete and some people will call that a benefit. Others won't care and the rest of the noise sensitive world will hate them. My solution was to wrap the lower half of the receiver in a layer of foam held in place with rubber bands. That took care of about 50% of the volume and from there on the system has been great. So (1) Keep these out of the sun (you may even need to make an enclosure that will offer ample protection from the heat and light of the sun) (2) Place your transmitter at a right angle to the general direction of travel (3) add some sound deadening material to reduce the noise to a bearable level. (4) Hope that your neighbors close by don't already have these installed. If you can do this you'll be able to know when folks come to visit whether they are expected or not. ## Frequently Bought Together - Jobar RET3731 Best Alarm Driveway Patrol, 1 Count (Pack of 1), White - Driveway Alarm Wireless Outside, 1byone Motion Sensor Alarm 1000 FT Range Extra Loud Chimes Home Security Alarm System with 1 Receiver 2 Weatherproof Infrared Sensors Protect Indoor/Outdoor Property --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/95209823-jobar-international-driveway-patrol-the-best-driveway-alarm-stay-alert](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/95209823-jobar-international-driveway-patrol-the-best-driveway-alarm-stay-alert) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-06-08*
