Tools and Hardware Reviews of Chamberlain PIR2-300S Sensor for Reporter Wireless Alert System
Customer Review: Don't buy the Chamberlain version
Summary: 3 Stars
I have used this product for 3 years and it has worked great. 2-year battery life and a long transmission range. I moved the transmitters to a different part of my property after a theft and caught the burglers the next time they came back.
I bought a new transmitter (it was the Chamberlain brand) and now my transmitting distance is much less. I need another one of the non-Chamberlain brand transmitters!
Customer Review: Driveway Great
Summary: 5 Stars
The Reporter System is wonderful. With the additional sensor, we get double warning when someone arrives. We have time to checkout who it is with our exterior video camera before they exit the vehicle. It is like having a garage door opener for relatives.
The only problem we have is the occaisional bird, cat, or raccoon setting it off.
If you can't see your driveway from inside the house, this is what to get.
Customer Review: Excellent Product for the price and use
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this product from Amazon a few months ago and love it. It's one of those products that you really didn't know how you lived before you bought it. My family gives this same example with 'caller ID'.
We have a long drive way and sometimes I wasn't aware the service people or just a stranger was outside the house without me knowing until I was startled.
It works well but not perfect. I would say it works 90% perfect - sometimes people get by without me knowing and like the other reviewer it does seem to go off a lot during the night but I know I got raccoons and rabbits that roam the area. I agree that if I had 2 of them it would probably near 100% accuracy if I heard both beeps in a timely matter verifing a car coming down the driveway. I might have errored in setting up because of my wooded location and proximity to neighbors - I sometimes get extra beeps when their cars leave their driveway or the lawn guys cut there lawn. But I gave this item 5 stars because it does give you a simple battery powered warning that works really well for a cheap price!! I actually buy these now for house warming gifts and nobody has said anything negative about one to date.
Customer Review: Excellent Range!
Summary: 5 Stars
The sensor that came with my original Reporter kit has been giving me great service from several hundred feet away through several walls. Being happy with that one, I ordered an addition PIR sensor from Amazon. I've had it a month now and am totally happy with it. I placed it near the entrance to my long, curving driveway that's surrounded by huge boulders. It is approximately 450 feet from the base unit in my house. That driveway sensor has successfully reported every car and pedestrian visitor since I installed it. It has also reported an occassional coyote walking down my driveway. I'm OK with that because I try to nail them in the a$$ with a marble from my wrist rocket as payback for killing my cat.Customer Review: Good Enough

I purchased the main unit and this additional sensor. The additional sensor was going off too much even after re-adjusting. I sent back to Amazon by printing up a free shipping label on line from home computer. I love Amazon. Amazon sent me a replacement before receiving defective sensor and the replacement works fine.
