MIER DA-500 Driveway Alarm System

The Mier Drive Alert Vehicle Detector uses a metal sensing probe to alert you of a vehicle entering your driveway. The controller has a built-in whistle and a relay output to connect to remote whistles or other accessories.

Have you ever been surprised or startled by an unexpected visitor at your door?
With a Mier Drive Alert you will always get an early warning of vehicles entering your driveway.

HOW THE SYSTEM WORKS:
The DA-500 Drive Alert Vehicle Detection System is easily mounted in your home, office or place of business. The sensor is buried about 6" deep, parallel to the driveway or area being protected. With a simple adjustment at the control box, the sensitivity of the sensor’s operating range and the length of sound time for the electronic whistle can be changed. 

The Drive Alert works by sensing the motion of a metal object that passes within about eight feet of the buried metal sensor probe. When a car, truck, or other object passes the sensor, a signal is sent through the burial cable to the control panel which activates a small whistle to alert you of visitors. You may also add any of our accessories to extend the usefulness of the driveway alarm system. Systems are available with cable lengths from 10' to 1500'!

 The DA-500 Drive Alert Driveway Alarm System is the security industry's most-often used method for detecting a vehicle when it enters a driveway. A variety of features and options make this unit ideal for both residential and commercial applications.

The Drive Alert is a multi-purpose, solid-states electronic alarm system designed to detect vehicle traffic in driveways, farm lanes, intersections, and any areas where knowledge of vehicle movement is desired or necessary.

Common Driveway Alarm Applications

Protecting the home The Drive Alert allows homeowners to know when someone enters their driveway. The out-of-sight sensor detects moving objects in a nominal range of eight feet on either side of the sensor – and sends a signal to the master control unit, which sounds an electronic whistle.

Preventing theft The sensor, when placed alongside a stationary metal object (such as campers, farm tractors, RV's, boats, or gasoline tanks) will detect any movement of that object and sound an alarm, aiding the prevention of theft and vandalism.

Drive-Up Window Applications Restaurants, banks, pharmacies and other businesses that utilize drive-up windows can use the Drive-Alert unit to signal a customer’s arrival.

Enhancing safety Industrial safety is improved by using the Drive Alert unit at busy or blind intersections, helping to prevent accidents by signaling the movement of vehicular traffic in these areas. We also offer various accessories for the DA-500 Drive-Alert unit, which can enhance the effectiveness and versatility of the system.
