Amazon.com Review
When a visitor--wanted or unwanted--approaches a house on foot or in a vehicle the motion-detecting sensor unit of this warning device sends a signal to the receiver indoors, which chimes an alert. The device is wireless and has a 400-foot range. It requires three C-cell batteries for the receiver and one 9-volt battery for the transmitting sensor. (Batteries are not included.) The sensor is housed in weather-resistant plastic, installs with a screw on any surface, such as a mailbox post, garage, or door, and measures 4-1/4 inches high, 2-5/8 inches wide, and 2-1/4 inches deep. The portable receiver has an identical housing, can be set to chime high or low (or turned off), and measures 5 inches high, 3-5/8 inches wide, and 1-1/2 inches deep. --Fred Brack

1 out of 5 stars Doesn't work   August 31, 2010
Hirameagle (Georgia)
This little device would be GREAT if they worked, but I've had two and neither works correctly! The first one ate the batteries...new Duracells in way less than a week. I tried to buy a DC converter, but there are no specs given for the converter.....it's voltage is shown, but not how many amps and the Radio Shack person said if I picked one with too much amperage, it wold fry the board in the device. Soooo, I sent that one back and got another one. This one doesn't seem to deplete the batteries so fast, but it's completely unreliable. I had the transmitter placed on a tree about 200 +/- feet from the receiver, inside a little bird house looking cover to protect it from rain and sun, etc. It seemed to work at first, but within a day or less it would alarm sometime and not other times. I thought it was possibly too far from the house/receiver, so I moved it closer...maybe 150 feet from the receiver and not much change. Then I moved the receiver upstairs and put it in the window looking right at the transmitter, but still doesn't work most of the time. The garbage truck did set it off a few days ago and a few nights back it went off about 4:00AM. Never saw anything....probably deer walked in front of it.

Can't say the one you buy won't work, but I haven't had good luck at all and I wish they would work, because it's just what we need with a long, rural type driveway!!!



4 out of 5 stars Good alarm for the money!   August 30, 2010
Donald Kraemer (Temple, NH)
I was looking for an inexpensive way to alert me when someone comes up our driveway. This was the solution! It has been up for a month and worked well. Although it does tell me when a squirrel is on the tree, it does its job well. I would suggest mounting where squirrels don't play.


1 out of 5 stars Do not waste you money.   August 27, 2010

Outdoor sensor only worked when cars were coming to the house, never leaving. Indoor sensor quit working completely after only 1 week. Terrible product.


1 out of 5 stars Buy a Chihuahua   August 27, 2010
Noel (SouthTexas)
Folks, like myself, might buy this because of the cheap price and in hopes that it will work. The ten dollar price PLUS free shipping should have been the tip off I failed to see. Put this on my covered front porch...all went well. The second day it continued to send false alarms. Could not make it stop. No bug on lens. No moving shrubs or trees. I see from the reviews that some are happy with this so it might just be a quality control issue and I received a bad one that slipped through. Good luck.


5 out of 5 stars security alert   August 22, 2010

We had a unique situation, moved into the 120 year old family farmhouse, which didn't have
a doorbell. This seemed the perfect solution to letting us know when anyone was around. Reciever has a very loud alert. Love it!!!

In today's society, security systems are an important part of home and business ownership. We all need to protect our families, homes, businesses and assets. In addition to a modern, up to date video surveillance and motion detection system, there are many other cost efficient things you can do to protect your home and your business.

Most burglars and criminal do reconnaissance before they break into a home or business. If they see a few of these tips in place, they may be discouraged seeing that it would be too challenging or risky to attempt a break in and they may focus their attention elsewhere. Here are some security tips we recommend you do around your home and business where applicable:
