Summary: 5 Stars
This is an additional sensor for our security system. It detects if someone is near our front porch and sounds an alarm.Customer Review: Sensor review
Summary: 2 Stars
The device does not perform as indicated. Main purpose was to use it as a driveway alarm. Device was installed following manufactures instructions. It does not sense a car traveling faster than someone can wall. If does detect someone walking without a problem.Customer Review: Simple and effective
Summary: 5 Stars
I dreaded the set up, but was completely surprised. Most such critters you have to go thru all sorts of stuff to program them- this couldn't have been easier. The little DIP switches that some have complained about- get a grip, Sparky... either that or put on your reading glasses. easy to switch and operate. The worst thing about them is the limited swivel of the ball & socket mount system- hard to redirect very much. No big deal. I find the volume of the alarm just fine- if you want it louder you can easily wire in another circuit for a remote alarm or dialer or... anything. If you want- buy two base station units and place one where you can't hear the other. Too loud? An adjustment would be nice, but I really don't see making it any quieter than it is. Like someone said, put a pice of tape over the speaker if that's bothering you. I find it just right- put it in the bedroom. if it goes off, I'll hear it... but my wife sleeps right through it. Bless her. This is an inexpensive solution.Customer Review: The Reporter Wireless Alert System

I'm very satisfied with this driveway alert system. I mounted mine to a tree in my front yard, about 3-4 ft. off the ground, facing my garage doors and front sidewalk. It works every time anyone pulls into our driveway! It's great if you're expecting company, or a babysitter, as you can be waiting by the front door to greet them. Or, you can be alerted to a solicter before they ring your doorbell. I bought a second unit for my back deck, mainly for peace of mind. Now, if anyone comes near the back door, I'll know about it. My systems have never given any false alarms, yet. I think if you follow the instructions and mount it high enough, you won't have any trouble. My one piece of advice is: If you live in a cold climate like me, spend the extra $$ on Lithium batteries. They work through about any temperature. We've had a cold spell of up to minus 17F recently and these things still work every time! My one complaint is that there's no volume control. The alarm is fairly loud, but if I'm upstairs, or in the basement watching a movie I don't always hear it. I'd suggest mounting the base unit in a central location where you're most likely to hear it best.
