We love our new home we moved into last year, but found out with the r-28 walls and triple-glass windows it is nearly impossible to hear anyone when they drive up to the house. Where can you get a driveway bell that will work for me? It is about 300 ft to where I would want it to be activated. I saw one in a catalogue with the air hose like in a gas station but thought that might not be feasiable with that much distance of hose plus would have to bury it to the driveway. Any ideas?

We bought one off the internet from lord taylor
interprises that has 4 infared motion sencors.
(They pick up heat instead of motion).A little
more security than just a metal detector.A
wireless box sets in the house that has 4 lights
and 4 different sounds so you can tell which sensor is going off.We have a couple different farm drives and a building accross the road
probably 400 ft away.Each take a 9 volt battery,
the house unit just plugs into an outlet.
We do get some false alarms from animals,deer,
squirrels etc.

Don't apologize, it really tickled me. I would only add "and then cut down any trees near the house big enough to roost in or you'll never sleep 8 hours again."

A Cheap Quick solution can be gotten at the link pasted below. 25 bucks, runs on batteries & I get about 6 months out of $3 worth of batteries, sometimes longer. Works well. The deer will set it off though. I believe the link is for the home page. Look up Driveway in the product index.

Easiest solution is cough up about 140 bucks for a wireless system. No muss no fuss with wires or hoses.

If you have a Lowe's building supply store close by, you get a wireless system for a little less than $100...works off of metal detection, not motion, so few false alarms. I've had mine for about 6 months and it works great. Supposed to work up to 1000'. Battery in the sending unit at the driveway/road, and the receiver plugs into wall outlet.

Do you need "line of sight" with your model?

Not sure...I would think you probably do with most of the wireless systems. I have mine about 120' away from the house and it seems to pick up anywhere in the house OK (have cement-based siding).

Northern Tool & Equipment has the same model - see link.
