Driveway audible alert ideas

[gazdkw82]

Has anyone got any recommendations for a wired driveway audible alert? A friend has a large drive and wants a PIR to turn brick lights on upon vehicles coming up the drive and also an audible alert at the same time.

I doubt there is a device that does both so probably a separate PIR and then something to alert them of a vehicle coming up the drive.

Any suggestions?

The GJD sapphire and emerald systems are very good, I've used them a few times.

So with these systems, they can switch a lighting load via a sensor and offer an audible signal within the property?

There is a controller which would go in the house, this has a buzzer in it which sounds every time a sensor detects movement.
The sapphire is single zone an dthe merald is two zone.
The PIRs are extra low voltage and usually wired in alarm cable, they can be split across three circuits in each zone (you can have multiple PIRs on each circuit)
Lux levels, walk test and number of detections required to activate the output of a zone are set from the controller.
Each zone has a relay output which I think is rated for 3kW
There is also a connection to link it to a burglar alarm to bring security lights on whem the alarm is triggered.

GJD do some pretty good detectors and these can be set up to ignore animals.
They even do some that have a 50 meter range

Done this recently with gate sensors, relay, psu and RF mains link. Other end of rf mains link was then plugged in the house 300 meters with another PSU, relay and piezo buzzer installed in an adaptable box. Gate sensors was installed at a height where foxes etc wouldn’t be detected but a human or vehicle would.

Not the one I was thinking of but. Sapphire 1500 MK3 - GJD005 | GJD - Detect & Secure - http://www.gjd.co.uk/products/security-lighting/sapphire-1500-mk3-gjd005

fitted some of them years ago. PIRs wired in alarm cable back to control panel. panel then feed lights. the buzzer works in daylight although the lights only work at dusk/dark. there's a similar set-up by Voltec ( i think that's the correct name).

Yeah ! One mentioned above easy setup and works a treat !

Can I suggest machine guns on towers activated by microwave sensors. I think the audible part would be met.

What about standard pir/driveway lights combo
And get yourself a ring doorbell or ring security light
