With the recent crime figures showing that robbery and burglary are on the increase (source) you won’t be alone in thinking about additional home security measures to help protect your home. We have talked before here on the CPP Blog about using security markers for your possessions and personal attack alarms for you and your family as handy, reliable home security measures.

However, wouldn’t it be good if you could actually hear people or cars coming up your drive or approaching your home. Driveway Alarms are an ideal way to help alert you that someone is approaching your home, garage or garden shed. Many of the driveway alarm systems available can have extra sensors attached so you can protect multiple areas of you property from the same source.

Driveway alarm systems work by placing sensors in the areas which you want to protect. These sensors send out an invisible beam of light, which when broken by a person or car or some other object fires off an audible and lighted signal to the base unit alerting the home owner.

Once alerted by the Driveway Alarm a person is then prepared to see who is approaching, and if required can call the authorities. Simple and easy to set up, these driveway alarm systems will help protect your family and possessions by deterring thieves or burglars.
