The Driveway Informer
Easy to use and simple to install the Di2000S-A packs a powerfull punch.
This is the "A" system and is not backwards compatible with the older Di2000 models. Please call us if you have an older model and your want a replacement or add-on.
The Di2000S-A is an outdoor rated PIR based wireless driveway alarm system with long range capability. Because the system is PIR based, it is going to pick up any movement detected in the detection zone.
Wireless Driveway Alarm Detection Zone
The Di200S-A has a detection range of roughly 50 feet. At the half way point, or 25 feet, the detection area is about 1 ft x 2 ft. At the 50 ft mark, the detection area is roughly 2 ft x 2 ft. The wireless driveway sensor comes with univesal mouniting bracket with two predrilled holes for easy mounting. The mounting bracket attaches to the side of the transmitter and allows the unit to be tilted up and down. If you are worried about small animals being detected, we recommend mounting the transmitter a couple of feet off the ground angled slightly up.
The Driveway Informer is a long range unit that is extremely reliable. Although it is primarily used as a driveway alarm, this product has many uses and may be used in other areas besides the driveway.
The Di2000T-A Wireless Transmitter
The DI2000T-A is the transmitter unit, or wireless PIR based sensor, of the the Driveway Informer Driveway System. The unit is weather resistant and is typically mounted outdoors (to post, tree, mailbox, etc.)
The unit is powered by an included and installed 9-volt battery. The battery is replacable by removing two screws on the back of the unit. By removing the back cover of the unit, you will also acccess the dip switches. These dip switches must be set to match the corresponding dip switches on the back of the Di2000R-A receiver unit.
The Di2000R-A Plug in Receiver
The DI2000R is an indoor receiver (not weather resistant) and comes with a plug in 12VDC power supply with a 6 foot cord. The receiver also has an easy to read built in counter with a reset button.
There are 6 dip switches on back of the receiver. Dip switches 1-4 should match with the trasmitter you would like the receiver to monitor. The fifth dip switch on back of the receiver is used to control the time output to the 12DC Volt terminal screw on the back of the receiver, 1 to 5 seconds.
The terminal screw gives you the option of adding additional accessories to the driveway informer such as a strobe light, a sire, buzzer, horn, even a firebell. There is also an other speaker terminal (SPKR) screw that give you the ability for an additional auxiliary wired speaker, that will give the "ding dong chime sound. The receiver also features a volume control knob.
How it Works
This is a powerful long range unit. The wireless receiver and plug in transmitter both have pivot based antennas you can rotate 360 degress or adjust in and out from the transmitter and receiver. See our "tips" tab for maximum antenna alignment.
The manufactured range of this product is 1,500 feet. With that said, we have seen these units, with clear line of site, go approximately 3,000 feet. The less interference between the wireless driveway transmitter and receiver the more range.

“ Speaking to the versatility of your system, I'll relate the following event.- John M., Cleveland, TexasWe had wild hogs come into our yard where they rooted up the lawn causing a lot of damage. I moved one of my sensors and mounted it low on the base of a nearby tree pointing to where it would cover the area where the hogs were rooting. I slept in my recliner, fully clothed that night with my shotgun loaded and handy. At 1:30 a.m. the alarm went off. Armed I eased out the front door and around to the side of the house where I encountered the hog (only one). Result, the bacon was excellent and there has been no further problems.
The alarm worked flawlessly and it sure beat trying to stay up all night, looking out a window. ”
“ Lately, my whole life has been wracked with paranoia! Since December of '07 when our home was burglarized, I have done nothing but think about ways to protect my home, possessions, and identity. It's been crazy! Or maybe I really meant to say, it's making ME crazy!- Sizwizz, United StatesNot only have I found places to hide my valuables when I'm not home, I've alarmed my doors and windows, and now I have a wireless sensor to alert me to any car, person, or animal that comes down my driveway! During the day, I can see out to the end of my driveway, but at night, because we don't have street lights, it's pitch black out there! My dogs will bark when they hear something, but many times they bark at "nothing"! This makes me constantly run to the front windows to see if anyone is out there. I live in the "toolies" so when the dogs bark I get a little freaked out!
Now I have the "Driveway Informer"! Maybe it's a false sense of security, but I feel safer knowing for sure when someone, or something is heading down my driveway. I know there are waaay less expensive wireless sensors and receivers, but sometimes you get what you pay for, and I didn't want to take any chances on my safety. ”
