Home Security Driveway Alarm Kit - Extension of Home Security Alarm System

Home Security / Driveway Alarm Integration
Our driveway bell and chime kits are a valuable extension to any home security system.  The driveway alarms that we sell provide an early warning whenever a new visitor drives into your driveway.  The new visitor will be announced each time with the clear ringing of a bell, "Ding-Ding", or chime depending on which of our kits is purchased and installed.  Our bell and chime kits are simple to set up and provide a feeling of security.

We also have momentary contact switches that are activated when a vehicle drives across the black rubber driveway tubing.  These momentary contact switches can be tied directly into a home security system to alert the security system that either a vehicle has entered the driveway or that a vehicle within the garage has been moved or may be in the process of being stolen.  The hose can be placed anywhere you want to monitor the movement of a vehicle traffic.  It is definitely an integral part of any home security system.



Home Security Driveway Alarm Kit
The momentary contact switch can be wired into your home security system.  It also includes 20' of driveway tubing a one pound steel end-of-hose anchor.

By placing the driveway alarm hose under the tire of a car that is parked in your garage it will act as a supplementary alarm letting you know if the vehicle has been moved. It will send a momentary contact closure, if it is wired into your home security system, each time the hose is compressed. It could be considered a separate security zone for your driveway.

Single mother home security - Reassured by driveway chime.


We have recently received an email from a single mother who expressed her feeling of improved home security knowing that she could depend on her new driveway bell to alert her when a vehicle arrives in her driveway. She was comforted knowing that the bell would be rung announcing the arrival of a visitor before the doorbell was rang. She said that the chime gave her an advanced warning so that she could monitor new arrivals before they got to the door.


We have also received comments from customers who have purchased bell kits for older parents who are living alone.  They are comforted knowing that their parents will be notified with the clear ring of a bell or chime each time a new visitor arrives in their driveway.  This early warning gives them a chance to prescreen the visitor through a window before the bell is actually rang.  They have also commented that they appreciate the simplicity of the bell's setup.

The bell and chime kits are an extension to any home security system.

Truck scale notification bell and chime kits - Agriculture Scales / Yard Scales

Do you need to be notified each time a truck drives up to your scale?  We have systems that can produce a soft chime or a clear bell ringing each time a truck drives up.  Our hose systems are rugged and dependable.  They transmit a signal each time the hose is compressed and activate the bell or chime.

We offer a couple of monitoring options, the first is the Milton and Original bell kits; the second is a wireless chime kit. All of the kits including the wireless kits use a driveway hose to activate the bell. The hose crosses the driveway that you want monitored and connects directly to the bell or, in the case of the wireless kit, to a transmitter box.

The difference between the Milton and Original bell kits and the wireless system is that the hose is not needed to run all the way to the receiver/chime. This can be an advantage for longer distances. The wireless kit is rated up to 600' however this distance can be reduced with thick vegetation, trees, and buildings between the transmitter and receiver. The wireless kits activate an electronic chime that is capable of playing four different sounds. This chime is also able to ring a low-voltage bell for situations that require something louder than the chime alone. When a bell is used in conjunction with the electronic chime both the chime and bell ring. The low-voltage bell has to be wired to the chime using low-voltage wiring. This low-voltage wiring is not included with the kit and needs to be purchased separately.

The standard Milton bell kits can be used with up to 300' of driveway hose and the Original Bell can be used with up to 150' driveway hose.

All three systems will help alert you to vehicles arriving and leaving your scale.

Bell rings when a rented vehicle is returned to the store.


Wouldn't it be nice if you were notified, with the ring of a bell, each time a rented vehicle was returned to your facility?  Our driveway bell systems are dependable and simple to install.

Set-up of the bell notification system is simple.   The bells are sold as kits and include all of the items needed to set up a working system.  Each kit includes either a bell or chime, driveway signal hose, and an end-of-hose anchor.  Our wireless systems include a wireless transmitter but still use the dependable driveway signal hose to detect when a car or truck arrives.

Truck rental companies such as U-Haul, Penske, Budget, Ryder and car rental companies such as Hertz, Budget, Alamo, Avis, and Thrifty find our bell systems rugged and simple to install.

Oil Field Vehicle Monitoring Bell Kits

Do you work in the oil field and have the responsibility of monitoring vehicle traffic arriving and leaving the site? We have kits that will help notify you with a clear "Ding-Ding" or a soft chime. All of our kits come with a rugged driveway hose that can be used on the gravel roadways that commonly access oil field sites.

We offer a couple of monitoring options, our first are the Milton and Original bell kits; the second is a wireless chime kit. All of the kits including the wireless kits use a driveway hose to activate the bell. The hose crosses the driveway that you want monitored and connects directly to the bell or, in the case of the wireless kit, to a transmitter box.
