Driveway Alarm / Sensor: Long Drive

[GodBlessTheUSA]

Any recommendations for a driveway alarm? We have about 300 feet at a fairly steep grade, going downhill from the road to our house. Trees between the entrance to the drive and the house, so no clear line of sight.

Even the UPS / delivery trucks come down the driveway pretty fast and the things we tried in the past couldn't "sense" them due to the speed.

Gonna have to get a sensor and / or outdoor cameras since someone coming down the drive can sit in front of our garage and we don't know.

I'd like to be forwarned if I'm in my workshop as well.

Heat / thermal vs motion? Good, reliable with multiple alert stations?
Thanks

Yep, we used something very similar to this and it worked quite well in a rental property we had in Canton.

Get either that or a dog. Dogs always alert when a strange vehicle is coming up the lane.

We bought one of these several years ago and it worked great. 1/2 mile range. Returnable if you don’t like it
