<div dir="ltr">I am using a Dakota system. I don't know who actually makes this system, as I have seen at least three brand names on it. It came with a battery powered passive-IR motion detector, and it also offered an optional magnetic sensor add on. The nice thing about this system it that the receiver can be programmed to recognize multiple sensors (up to 4). By the same token, you can program the same sensor to trigger multiple receivers. You just "learn" each sensor at each receiver, the way you would a garage door opener remote. I can't find the exact system I have on the web but they have come out with a new model that looks like it does everything the old one did and more. <a href="https://www.dakotaalert.com/store/2500-series-products/">https://www.dakotaalert.com/store/2500-series-products/</a> One other feature to consider, the better systems like this one have relay outputs that allow you to connect to an existing alarm system or to trigger other types of devices. This worked great for us because the receiver was not quire loud enough to hear through the whole house. We used the relay output to trigger the "back door" chime on our doorbell. So now we get a single "ding" when the driveway alert is triggered and a "ding-dong" when the doorbell is pressed. <br></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Mon, Jan 22, 2018 at 7:00 AM, <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:eric@megageek.com" target="_blank">eric@megageek.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><font size="2" face="sans-serif">Hello all, I wanted to see if anyone
could help me find the driveway monitor with the features I need. Almost
all driveway monitors are set up the same way. One (or more) sensors
(battery operated.) can trigger a monitor. The senors are either
infrared or magnetic detecting.</font>
<br>
<br><font size="2" face="sans-serif">What I would want is a system that uses
infrared for motion detection, were the sensor is AC powered and
a single sensor can trigger multiple monitors (one in the house, one in
the shop.)</font>
<br>
<br><font size="2" face="sans-serif">If the sensor has to be battery operated,
I could live with that.</font>
<br>
<br><font size="2" face="sans-serif">Does anyone know of such a system? I
can't find one on Amazon.</font>
<br>
<br><font size="2" face="sans-serif">Also, if you have a system you love
or hate, I'd want to hear that as well. I'm not above buying two
complete systems and having the monitors set near each other to activate
in both places.</font>
<br><font size="2" face="sans-serif"><br>
Thanks a ton for any insight!</font>
