This wireless visitor Driveway Alarm from OPTEX is one of Home Security Store’s most highly rated and recommended products. That’s because OPTEX has really perfected its advanced and reliable wireless technology in the long RF transmission range of the Wireless 1000 which, as the name implies, is 1000 feet.

You can use the Wireless 1000 for many applications including as a perimeter alert for your home or shop, driveway alarm to detect approaching vehicles, an entry or walkway chime, a wireless doorbell, and as a warehouse delivery notification system. In addition, the Wireless 1000 can help monitor hard to see areas or shoplifting zones, dressing rooms and fitting rooms, unauthorized exits, jewelry display boxes, and drive-up windows.

The Wireless 1000 has 2 detection patterns. A long range of 50 feet and a fan pattern range of 17 feet. The detection pattern adjusts easily for perfect aiming. In addition, the Wireless 1000 can alert you by 3 different chime tones that a zone has been breached. The alert tones have 5 different sensitivity levels and can be set to sound up to 80 dB. If you choose to incorporate more transmitters, the receiver can also identify which zones have been breached by certain tones. Up to 12 transmitters can be incorporated.

The Wireless 1000 not only operates as a perimeter awareness system, but can trigger other devices such as door strikes, lights, sirens, cameras, and more. The system is triggered when someone passes by the system sensor, but can also work manually by a hand-held push-button device which is sold as an accessory and has a transmission range of 700 feet.

The sensor is about the size of a softball and is designed to mount easily on walls, ceilings, fence posts, and desktops. The sensor is also weather-proof. The receiver is about the size of an average hand and can be held, mounted to a wall, or stood up on a table.

With the Wireless 1000, installation is easy. Just two buttons prompt all the set-up functions needed. Again, as the name implies, no wiring is required and you can install the system anywhere inside or outside a home or business. The sensor operates off a 9V battery which should last on average about two years, and the receiver operates with an AC adapter (which is included in the kit).

Additional Features

The Sensor Has a Newly Developed Non-Directional Antenna
– All wireless transmitters have “dead spots” within their transmission range. The sensor’s improved antenna design greatly reduces “dead spots” to make installation easier and increase reliability.

The Transmitter Has a High Gain Antenna & Narrow Band Tuning
– Optimal antenna design and fine RF tuning achieve a high signal to noise rate, ensuring long range and consistent operation.

More Than 8 Million Codes
– Transmission codes are preset at the factory with over 8 million possibilities, virtually eliminating the possibility of interference or crosstalk.

Low Battery Signal
– Low battery indication by tone and LED tells you when to replace batteries and prevents malfunctions.

Sensor Chime Box w/ Relay
– Form C relay for activating other devices (50V AC 1A max. or 24V DC 1A max.) with adjustable output duration.

OPTEX Part Number
– RCTD-10U

I am really happy with this product. The relay inside can be used to trigger event alarms on DVR systems for turning on your cameras if you want. I wired it up from the board to a jack on the side of the receiver unit. This unit can also be used to trigger your landscape lighting using another relay. It has a few settings for how long to hold the open or closed for the relay. Very accurate beam and seems extremely reliable in day to day use of 2+ years now. VERY HAPPY. The only thing I wish Optex would develop is a unit with a small camera in it to send to the receiver with a small LCD screen so you could get a freeze frame pic of whatever set off the unit. This way I can see if its a cat or other animal at night vs. a person walking up the drive. This would be a fantastic bedside tool for monitoring if it had the picture ablility. Thanks !!

I bought this product after reading alot of good comments from the previous customers. This product did not work for me. After trying to set it up and positioning every other way that I can think of, and it still not detecting anything at all. Maybe this product doesn't design to work with my driveway, but the one that I paid for $16.99 is working better for me than this $119.95. I tried to contact the tech support, but did not get a good response out of him. Can't return the product, unless it defect by manufacturing. I would not purchase anything from this company again.

Sorry it took so long to write this review, but this thing is so easy anyone can program it. No need for tech support, and works just like it says. I just ordered a 2nd transmitter for use in the back yard. No more surprise visitors front or back door.

I have used this system to monitor my driveway for years and it has worked flawlessly. I liked it so well that I have purchased a second unit to monitor another area around my home. You may purchase this item with confidance knowing that it works as advertised. James B. Kitchen

I've had the optex 1000 for over 7 yrs. The only time I recieved false signals was when the battery got low. The 9volt battery will easily last a yr. and sometimes close to 2 yrs depending on traffic. I have it mounted in a metal casing about 75' from the house and it never fails. But...... the only complaint I have is that I wish they had a sensor to activate a vcr to monitor the driveway with cameras. Anyway, I highly reccomend this sensor. Don't even bother with the cheapo ones. You'd be wasting your $$

Received the Optex 12/15/07. Arrived home at 6:00 P.M., read the directions, and the Optex was functional at 7:00 P.M. Does it get any easier than that? Quality workmanship and excellent RF signal to the alert module. I highly recommend this product.

I've had the unit for a year now and it works great. No false alarms and the orginal battery is still in the sensor. Don't waste your money on cheaper units as I did. They have short battery life and are set off by wind, bugs and just about anything that flies. Only problem, and it was not a big deal, was setting up the sensor according to the instructions. I would suggest experimenting with placement and forget about instructions.

This is one of if not the Best product I have purchased in many years I purchased the system 7 years ago after having tried 5 other comapny brands that turned out to be pure junk. This unit has performed flawlessley for over 7 years. This unit was placed over 200 feet from its receiver and never failed to signal. It is undoubtedly the Best Product on the market
