Especially good for gravel road exit. This purchase was a little high, but our normal supplier could not deliver fast enough so I paid extra for the convenience of speedy delivery. Review: Will never use a ground loop again.. - Pure awesome. Originally wanted to mount it to the gate opener but it did not work well in heavy rain on a 45* to the vehicles, probably only opened about 60% of the time. Otherwise it worked perfect on clear days. We then moved it to about 10ft away from the opener looking across the driveway and it works flawlessly now. ## Features - Detects moving or stationary vehicles using microwave and ultrasonic wave technology - Ignores human movement with 5 selectable menu setting options - Microwave sensor detects the presence of a vehicle based on FMCW (Frequency-Modulated Continuous-Wave) - Built-in heater reduces snow on the sensor (automatically activates based on the outside air temperature) - Installs above ground and is not affected by underground obstructions; No ground loop necessary for installation ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #251,041 in Industrial & Scientific ( See Top 100 in Industrial & Scientific ) #38 in Ultrasonic Proximity Sensors | | Customer Reviews | 5.0 out of 5 stars 11 Reviews | ## Images ![Optex OVS-01GT 18 Foot Range Microwave and Ultrasonic Vehicle Presence Sensor - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41bB8ZSANRL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very cost effective *by G***S on May 27, 2023* This keeps us from digging and placing vehicle detector in ground.
