EMX Carsense 101 Vehicle Motion Detector with Sensing Probe | EMX-CS-101
The CarSense101 operates by detecting the movement of vehicles near the probe with an adjustable detection range up to 12 feet at a minimum speed of 5 mph. The CS101 will only detect a moving vehicle and will not detect a stationary vehicle. It may be used as a free exit sensor to allow gates to open and guests to exit without the use of a key fob or passcode. The CS101 may also be wired to notify a home automation system or security system that a vehicle is moving down a driveway. This vehicle motion detector requires a probe that is ordered separately and available in 50, 100, or 150-foot lead lengths.
The CS101 provides a solution for many vehicle detection challenges, including:
- Safety – detects moving vehicles in blind areas along a driving path and actuates warning lights
- Security – detects approaching vehicles or unauthorized movement of parked vehicles and actuates alarms, video cameras or other annunciators
- Access control – acts as a free exit vehicle detector for gates, overhead doors and parking barriers
Note: Sensing probe is sold separately.
