When a zone on your security system is tripped, there’s a certain level of anxiety that goes along with that event. The question runs through your head, “Is there an intruder out there, or is there a malfunction in a sensor?”

Wouldn’t it be nice to have the ability to listen to what’s happening around that zone? Fortunately there are devices that let you do that.

One such wireless home security device combines a motion detector with an intercom system. It’s like having a “set of ears” all around your property. Up to 8 motion-detecting sensors can be placed around your property, and each sensor has its own distinct tone so you know which one has been activated.

This particular home security system is wireless and battery powered (base has an AC adapter if you want) so you don’t have to install any wires. The wireless motion sensors work up to 1200 feet away from the base monitor.

These wireless home security system motion sensor devices can also be used as a driveway alarm or driveway alert. When someone enters your driveway, you instantly know. If you have a gate, you can first talk to the person and then press a button to open the gate. The button could be used to turn on a remote camera or a light in other applications.

In one case a father whose dogs were barking frequently placed sensors around his families’ home. One night the sensor outside his home went off and he found a man trying to break in to his daughter’s window. The father apprehended the man and was able to hold him until the police came. It was then discovered that the perpetrator was responsible for a series of rapes in the neighborhood. He is now serving 88 years to life in prison.

You can use these types of these motion sensing devices to monitor construction sites, real estate sites, delivery docks, and adjacent buildings. If you have a motor home (RV) you keep on your property or a boat at your nearby boat dock, placing a unit inside it will alert you to any intrusions. You can even use these motion sensor units to monitor your swimming pool so you’ll be able to hear if a child enters the pool area.

The uses for these type of devices is only limited by your imagination. Even hunters have found ways to use them to alert them of approaching deer. All you have to do is try them out at your home or business and you may even think of some new ones.

The WireFree Wireless Alert and Intercom unit works perfectly for this application.
