Door Entrance Bell Systems !!
There are a few issues to contemplate when deciding which entrance alert system will suit your business applications, please see below:

1) Distance between the entrance and location for the wireless receiver.
Our most popular door entry system is the XL range of alerts, these have a wireless transmission range of 80 metres (line of sight), these are ideal in a small size business application.
For larger businesses or noisey enviroments we have systems that will transmit 200, 300 & 900 metres (line of sight).

2) Detection area's.
A lot of our customers use these systems for not only alerting them to the arrival of a visitor, but also to monitor areas of unauthorised locations such as stock rooms, back doors, offices & warehouses. It is very easy to set up a system that will combine both uses as our choice of systems have most solutions to cover all applications.

3) Noise level of where the receiver is to be located.
How noisey is the location where the wireless receiver will be located in, if it is another office or store room then the XL system will be perfectly adequate, for louder enviroments the 200, 300 & 900 metre range are better.
The 900 metre range has an adjustable volume control ranging from low to very loud, it also has a 12v output that can power sirens and flashing lights to cover rooms with working machinery etc.

4) Door contact or PIR.
We can offer magnetic contacts that stick onto a door and door frame, when a door is opened a wireless signal is tranmitted back to the receiver, these are perfect unless it is a location that you often leave a door open. In most situations where a door is left open, it is normally only done when a member of staff is actually present.
In situations where doors are to be left open, a PIR situated inside the entrance is the solution, provided it is located in a position that picks up customers entering the shop, not whilst they are in the shop. You may require a mixture or detectors to cover different applications at different locations.
Please feel free to ask for advice on the best way to do this.

These are the other two main questions we get asked daily, you will notice that when the manufacturers of Wireless Driveway & Perimeter Alarm Systems discuss Transmission Range between the Detector & Receivers they always quote 'Line of Sight'.

Because of this you know the optimum range in good weather conditions, but what has to be taken into account is what type and how many obstacles are between the detectors and receivers, in most applications you will find a system that will work in your enviroment including the obstacles and weather conditions.

When you have an object in between the detector & receiver, it doesn't result in a total loss of signal, (it actually just reduces the signal) therefore reduces the working range of the system, the reduction is subject to what type of and how many obstacles you have.

Listed below is a guide showing the type of materials and reductions that may be seen.

Materials: Degree of Reduction (Example Applications)
Air: None: (Open space, inner courtyard).
Wood: Low: (Door, floor, partition).
Plastic: Low (Partition).
Glass: Low (Untinted windows).
Tinted Glass: Medium (Tinted windows).
Water: Medium (Aquarium, fountains).
Living Creatures: Medium (Crowds, animals, people, plants).
Bricks: Medium (Walls).
Plaster: Medium (Partitions).
Ceramic: High (Tiles).
Paper: High (Rolls of paper).
Concrete: High (Load-bearing walls, floors, pillars).
Bulletproof Glass: High (Bulletproof windows).
Metal: Very high (Reinforced concrete, mirrors, metal cabinet, elevator cage).

Please read the following advice, which we hope may help you in deciding which is the best wireless intercom or bell system to suit your application & budget.

Please take note of the distance and terrain between the position you would like to fit a push button or caller station to the location of the receiver (the distances quoted by the manufacturers are always line of sight, which results in a lower working range in most cases).
Each wall, building or tree between the two locations will reduce the signal by various degrees, as a general rule, windows will reduce the signal only very slightly, modern buildings may reduce signals by 10 - 20 percent and thick stone built walls & buildings can reduce the distances up to 50% or more, if you are not sure please ask us.
After you have decided upon the distance, you can start to narrow down your options in choosing a system for your application.

If you are not sure that the system you have decided upon, will work when you try it, don't worry, simply send it back to us by return for a full refund (see terms and conditions)
Due to the nature of wireless equipment, no company can guarantee with complete
assurance that a system will work in any given application.

Are invisible beams a thing of the future or only used in science fiction? Not really. Believe it or not, Invisible beams are now used for things like entry alerts. An invisible beam entry alert is a kind of reflective beam that is used to alert you to incoming customers. These kinds of units are not just for movies or television. If you are a science fiction fan, you are most likely aware that invisible beans are used a lot in science fiction. Whether or not they are used to beam someone up and out or used as part of some fancy weapon, invisible beams have made their way to the present time and the present place, and they are a great way to add a motion sensor device to your home or business.

You might be familiar with this kind of technology, because in actuality, its been around for a while. If you have ever played a game of laser tag, you know what I mean. We have seen those tiny pens that emit a small red laser beam as well, because they make perfect little pointers. Laser beams have been used in the medical field for quite some time also, and they have a wide range of uses.


Invisible Beam Entrance Alerts For Driveway Alarms

Watch any crime story or mystery and you will likely notice the familiar laser beam because they are usually present when someone is trying to break into a fancy museum or building. I can think of many movies I have watched where criminals are stepping over laser beams trying to get to the golden prize in the middle of the space. Laser beams are even used in garage doors and overhead security doors, amongst other applications.



An Invisible beam entry alert is the perfect way to monitor an entrance and they typically use some kind of entrance indicator, like a chime or a sound, to let you know that someone has come in. Many of them have a wide range of distance, making them the perfect solution for any business.



Typically, the invisible beams use a narrowly focused infrared beam that goes between two sensor type devices; one of which produces the beam and one that receives the beam. When the beam in interrupted, the chime or sound goes off alerting you to customers. The technology is pretty simple when you think about it and invisible beams are a great solution for any business.



For businesses, the application is pretty obvious. Invisible beam entry alerts can be used to ensure customers are greeted and attended to quickly and efficiently. They are in essence, an integral part of your customer service team and they can serve multiple purposes and they are most often used as part of a much larger security type system. With an invisible beam entry alert, it is no longer necessary to hover around the front door, waiting for the next customer.



Invisible beam entry alerts can also be used at home to keep people from entering your home, if need be. They are a great security addition for any home security system and they are especially useful for people who simply cannot hear a knock at the door. Typically the chimes are adjustable, so they can be raised or lowered to the perfect pitch. It seems that in the end, the invisible beam entry alert is not really a thing of the future, but a thing we can use right here and right now, for a myriad of purposes; just something to think about the next time you go through a door and happen to see one.

Entrance Alerts are great products and may be used for a variety of reasons. Take a moment to visit visitorchime.com for additional information on entrance alerts products.
