Yes the motion detector should work for this purpose as well. You will have to choose the correct spot in your driveway to sense the area where you want (the manual will guide you). Great system, should meet your needs.

I think it would be okay to put out in yard out of weather watching your car.

Depends. If your car already has those features and you want to integrate them into the keyfob, then it is a matter of identifying the wires to tap into. If your car does not have a particular option, e.g., remote start, then you will need to buy/install a separate module/parts and wire the alarm to it

I don't know the exact procedure to do what you ask, but I believe your car's alarm system must be able to start your car first.At that point your instructions in your alarm documents should guide you the rest of the way...Check here: www.autopageusa.comGood Luck,

it's mainly to alert drivers. Maybe if you use more than one you can have a lot of visibility. Hope it helps!

I had it in my glove box and it worked fine. There's no alarms per say just a location update every five minutes to your account when it detects moving

The cheap alarms only have one slot I think just for the shock sensor. In order to use the proximity sensor you would have to use the slot and forget about shock sensor. I'm using a viper so there is 2 slots.

We have large trees 30 or so feet away from the senor on driveway. We did have to adjust the sensor downward so it wouldn't pick up excessive tree motion. This was in strong wind. On a normal day, the trees wouldn't affect the sensor. Dogs walking across drive way can set the alarm off, so setting sensor down, it can still pick up tires as they drive by and alert you. It doesn't have to 'see' the whole vehicle.

Thanks for your interests. The window/door sensor can work as the glass break detectors. Because when the glass is broken, the parts of window/door sensor will be seperated, then they will send alarm to main device.

I really doubt it would be enough force as these take a good solid press to activate... Might I possibly suggest going with a magnetic reed switch (like the ones used for burglar alarm window and door sensors) and stick a small rare earth magnet on the car? That way speed/inertial mass of the car become irrelevant. In fact you could have it trigger somewhere along the track under the car before it even reaches the end if you like. uxcell Recessed Alarm Contacts Door Window Magnetic Reed Switch White I've used these types quite a few times and they work rather well in my experience.

We have experienced alarms when the wind blows and animals and insects will trigger alarm. We do not live on a public road so we want the auto alarms

Yes. The sensors connect back to the control box you place in the driver area. Once there's power to the control box it's all good. It is a bit of work to get the sensors positioned but works well in the end.

partly! if the alarm motion detector is active anyone climbing into the jeep will activate the alarm, obviously would not protect any items in reach from outside the vehicle (don't leave your laptop in your jeep). Lock actuators can be added, but what would be the point? someone could just reach in and pull the lock up with half doors.

They all alarm simultaneously if one detects a problem, that is the point, so if the one in your basement goes off so does the one on your second floor (since you probably can't hear the basement one from upstairs while you are asleep). I don't recall if these have jumpers to change frequency, but if they don't I think it was that when you program them they will recognize if a neighbor has them as well and will pick a frequency it senses as open. Please read the directions from the manufacturer to confirm, but I'm sure it is one of the two methods.

I've used black tape on the inside of the translucent sensor cover. I've blocked off areas where the cat jumps up on a washer and dryer.. It seems to me, you could cover the whole inside of the sensor cover, except for a small round 1/8" hole in the center. Aim the sensor at the driveway and it should be able to sense cars, but not much else.. You might have to make the hole larger or smaller to get what you need. The range will be limited by the mask. It should be high, and pointing down into the pavement. So nothing in the distance can trigger it and so dogs won't walk into the detection cone, close up. Like 2 feet away. Dogs emit a lot of heat.

Hi Dave, Outdoor motion sensors are usually workable cheap single or chained units used for driveways or sidewalks etc. They beep once when a car or person etc walk by. To the best of my knowledge no one builds one that trips a dry contact alarm or horn etc., so when they go off and you are asleep forget it. However is you have a home alarm system you could place a motion sensor outside under the eves for example and the control panel should pick it up just fine. Some panels allow you to set zones etc. which can be used when asleep to alert you of unwanted activity etc.

As far as I know, the Escort Live function has no connection with false alarms. If you have the Escort 9500iX, it learns non-police radar signals over time, and locks those out. Of course, if it's the first time that radar detector has driven through a particular route, it doesn't know about false alarm signals. What Escort Live does do for you is link your radar detector to your smart phone (either iPhone or Android - make sure you order the appropriate Escort Live unit to match the phone you have). The link between the phone and the radar detector does two things: 1) it alerts you to the presence of police units that have been noted by other drivers, as well as if the radar was active, it advises you of that fact, and the age of the report (current, 30 minutes ago, an hour ago, etc). If other Escort Live drivers are ahead of you, and your unit receives a report from their system you get a LIVE RADAR alert, as well as distance to the point where the other driver's system detected the radar. 2) Your system provides alerts to the other drivers with Escort Live capability. In busy metro areas, or on interstates, this can be quite helpful. If you are traveling where there is no cell coverage, of course there is no link to the Escort Live server, as your cell phone has no network connection. Keep this in-mind if you acquire this system. I find the system quite valuable, and I occasionally get an alert in areas where I didn't expect another Escort Live driver to have passed through, just because the area is so remote.

It can only trigger and read sensors. It has info for activating but some cars need a scan tool as well.
