Easy. Cheap $40 driveway alarm for alert and $350 amcrest 25x security camera mounted on house and aimed at driveway entry. You'll wonder how you ever lived without the camera.

We are at the dead end of a long private road. I have one driveway alarm down the road about 75 yards from the gate and another on the gate. Get a couple receivers and it will wake you up out of a dead sleep: "Motion: Sensor 1". And then "Motion: Sensor 2". I added a Tactacam cellular camera to send us pics to our phones. Very little traffic on our road but we get a pic of every car that comes to our gate and get notified of every car (and deer) that comes down the road.

We have the eMacros system: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I have basically the same "driveway alarm" by Hosmart at my front gate that's about 250' from the house. Works like a champ. I also have a Reolink cellular cam as well so I can record vid, tilt, pan and talk to anyone at the gate.

Trey if you only want notification get a Chamberlain driveway alarm. Runs on batteries and lithium lasted us 2+ years before having to change them.

If you want a video camera with notification get a Reolink cellar camera with solar panel.

Curious if you record to an NVR or to their “cloud”? Also, is there an app to view & control the camera?? How is the functionality?

We bought a Guardian Long Range driveway alarm and it works well. Our house is 800' from the front gate. You can add up to 4 devices to this one receiver. Paid $60 thru amazon.

Chews system works very well. Ask me how I know.

Perfect timing on this thread. We need something exactly like this for our new place in east Texas. [emoji106]

I tagged this thread to look at it later because one of yall posted a link to a unit that advertised a range of 1 mile. Now its gone.

Anyone remember which one it was?

I use a Covert Cell Trail Camera. I set mine up at the cattle guard so the vehicle is traveling slow enough to catch the license plate coming in and leaving. The setup is about 1/4 mile from the house.

We have the eMacros system (older model) with 4 sensors and one base unit paired with trail cams. These have been in place for a couple years with no issues.

Some of the Riolinks have pan and tilt. As well as speakers with voice and sirens. And a solar panel can be hooked up. So no changing batteries.

Are they cellular? Or Wi-Fi ?
