Every searchlight turns and tilts to follow a person along the route, not just light one fixed spot.

You don’t see anyone.
PerimeterEye does.
At night, a driveway looks empty from the house. PerimeterEye’s cameras see the person walking in from the road in infrared, the alert describes them before they reach the door, and a tracking searchlight puts them in the light, with a live AI voice and a 130 dB siren behind it.

You don’t see anyone.
From the house, the driveway is dark. Whoever is out there is invisible to you.

The camera sees them in infrared
In infrared the person is in plain view, and the alert is already describing them: walking toward the house from the road, not normal activity for the property.
3 of 3 · The searchlightView full size
We do.
The searchlight catches the person on the driveway, and their hands go up against the light. The cameras provide the view; the searchlight provides the defense.

What separates PerimeterEye
A motion light turns on. PerimeterEye turns toward them.
Most driveway products tell you that something happened. PerimeterEye tells you who is there and puts them in the light while it is happening.
| Option | When someone walks up the drive at night | What you know |
|---|---|---|
| Motion floodlight | Switches on a fixed light when anything moves: a person, a car, a cat, a branch. A person can step out of it or wait for it to switch off. | That something moved. |
| Driveway alarm or chime | Beeps inside when something crosses the sensor at the entrance. | That something crossed. Not who, or what they did next. |
| Camera with motion alerts | Records and sends a notification. The response is up to whoever opens it in time. | Whatever you can make out on your phone. |
| PerimeterEye | Sees the person in infrared, lights them with a searchlight that follows them, speaks to them about what they’re doing, and escalates to a 130 dB siren, automatically. | Who is there, what they’re doing, and where they went, in plain language. |
One light, the whole drive
150 feet of driveway. The beam keeps going.
In our demonstration, one searchlight lights the driveway to its end, and the beam carries past it. The Brain aims it at the person the system is tracking and follows them along the route.
Sweeps on your schedule
Scheduled perimeter sweeps light the grounds after dark, separate from following a person.

Follow the route onto your property
Four places to plan around.
Coverage should follow how people and vehicles actually move through the driveway.
- The entrance
- See the point where vehicles and people enter from the road or gate. An early view is what lets the alert go out while they are still at the road end.
- The approach
- Keep bends, long setbacks, and screening in mind. Cameras placed along a route see what a single view at the garage would miss.
- The parking area
- Include the spaces beside and between parked vehicles. Changing vehicle positions can change what each camera can see.
- The garage and connecting paths
- Cover the routes from parking to the garage, side entrance, and front door, where an arrival becomes activity close to the home.

Driveway Security questions
Can PerimeterEye see someone on a dark driveway?
Yes. PerimeterEye cameras see in infrared at night, so a person on an unlit driveway is in plain view to the system even when it looks empty from the house. In the footage on this page, the alert described the person walking toward the house from the road at 22:27:35, and the searchlight was on them at 22:27:38.
How is this different from a motion floodlight or a driveway alarm?
A floodlight switches on a fixed light, and a driveway alarm beeps when something crosses a sensor. Neither knows who is there. PerimeterEye identifies the person, describes them in the alert, follows them with a searchlight, speaks to them, and escalates to a 130 dB siren, automatically.
How is the driveway response decided?
PerimeterEye uses camera context, AI assessment, your Property Mode, and your settings. The Brain commands connected searchlights and siren hardware when a response is warranted, while targeted voice warnings and owner alerts add communication and awareness.
Will my family or a delivery driver set it off?
No. PerimeterEye learns your property and your household, and assesses family arrivals, regular visitors, workers, and deliveries in context. There is nothing to arm or disarm. The deterrent response is for activity it assesses as concerning, and you can change or stop it from your phone or wall panel.
How far does the searchlight reach?
In our demonstration, one searchlight lights 150 feet of driveway, and the beam carries past the end of it. Every searchlight has 355° rotation and 90° tilt, and the Brain aims it at the person the system is tracking.
What about a long or curved driveway?
Plan cameras around the entry, changes in direction, the parking area, and the garage approach. A bend, hedge, or building can interrupt a view, so a specialist can help plan the views and searchlights for the whole route.
Can I speak to someone from my phone?
Yes. Open the camera and use live two-way audio through supported camera hardware, or use your indoor wall panel. You can also change the mode and escalate or de-escalate the response.
What does driveway coverage cost?
Essential covers a driveway and the approaches to the house, as low as $145.17/mo for Essential (36 monthly payments at 10% APR, $0 down, through Affirm or Klarna, subject to approval). The software and AI service is included for the first 6 months, then $99/month. Long drives, several entrances, and detached garages usually suit Advanced or Estate, and a specialist can size it with you.
