Product Description
This deluxe wireless driveway monitor with lamp controller alerts you when a vehicle enters your driveway and automatically turns on a lamp in your home. A great security device, the lamp controller ensures you'll never come home to an unlit house. The wireless sensor detects when a vehicle arrives or leaves your driveway, alerts the indoor receiver in your home or office up to 1,000 feet away and automatically turns on a lamp timer. The timer can be adjusted to leave the lamp on for 2, 5 or 10 minutes, or until it is manually reset. The indoor receiver plugs into any electrical outlet and alerts you by chiming and flashing. A reset button allows you to check whether a vehicle arrived while you were out of hearing range. Sensor only detects vehicles, so you won't get false alarms from pedestrians, animals or shadows. Compatible with up to 16 additional deluxe wireless driveway monitors (sold separately) to cover multiple areas. Lamp controller is for indoor use only with 200-watt or less incandescent lamps. Cannot be used with 3-prong grounded lamp plugs. No. 33371. Made in USA.

1 out of 5 stars Works when new, maybe,,then forget about it....   July 16, 2005
 3 out of 3 found this review helpful

My first unit filled up with water after a few days, the people there were nice and replaced it. The new unit worked for a while and we loved it. Now it misses about every third car and works when it wants. I have moved it, checked it, did everything. I agree with the other reviews, after about one year buy a new one. This one needs work to be what they represent it to be.


2 out of 5 stars I am not happy   July 26, 2004

I received my first Design Tech Driveway Monitor the first of June. It only worked for one day. I called Design Tech and they were very helpful and sent a new unit to me. It took a while for the new unit to arive. It worked great for about 3 weeks. Now it has also quit. I am waiting on a response from Design Tech now. I would look for something else.


1 out of 5 stars It works for about a year   June 29, 2004
 2 out of 2 found this review helpful

This thing worked flawlessly for about a year. In the beginning, the only thing I didn't like was the sound of the chime (had I written this review then, I would have given it 4 or 5 stars). It would be nice if you could change the chime to a more-plesant doorbell-like tone rather than a warning-like tone. However, the functionality was so good we bought another one for my mother-in-law. After about a year, ours stopped working consistently. It would miss about every third car. I tried moving it, I tried increasing the sensitivity jumper, I replaced the batteries and nothing worked. I was convinced of some kind of "user-error" until my mother-in-law's started to become inconsistent as well. Now hers doesn't even work at all. Ours still misses quite a few cars but it does work on occation.

I'm currently looking for a replacement.


4 out of 5 stars It works well enough   June 18, 2004

For the price it can't be beat. This unit works as advertised but don't expect more than about 250 foot of range. Keeping the unit on the default detection range I get about 1 year out of the batteries. Just remember to change them in the fall so the batteries are fresh going into the winter months. I had no problems keeping water out of the unit. Anyone who experiences moisture problems can probably put a piece of duct tape over the seam between the two halves. Overall, a good product for the price. P.S. I vaguely remember reading somewhere that a repeater was available to extend the range.


5 out of 5 stars Driveway Monitor Does the Job!   March 7, 2004
 1 out of 1 found this review helpful

I used these reviews to purchase a monitor for my mother and am glad that I chose to ignore the 'highly educated engineer'. This monitor meets the needs of anyone who has a driveway and needs to be alerted to incoming guests. Perhaps the guy who underrated this product needs to spend big bucks to meet his needs. Well satisifed and thanks for having this site to help me make a decision.

We had previously purchased a cheap $29.95 monitor and it goes without saying 'you get what you pay for'!
