The DWA-8 Driveway Observer Driveway Alarm is one of the most popular driveway alert systems in the home security industry for a reason: it's immaculate. For home and business owners with larger properties including ranches, large driveways and large backyards, this wireless motion detector picks up movement from up to 50 feet away and is weatherproof, so your property stays protected under any and every condition.
The DWA-8 consists of 2 components: The weatherproof transmitter that mounts near your driveway or backyard and the versatile receiver, usually set in the kitchen or bedroom. Together they help build your sense of security- keeping you aware of everyone and everything approaching your property at all times.
