 Piece of junk November 16, 2008
Hasn't worked a single time since I put it by the driveway. I have had this make alarm before and they worked fine but not this one. I called the manufacturer and they told me there could be no trees, bushes,had to be able to throw a ball from the receiver to the transmitter for it to operate properly. The sales info says it is good up to 900 feet, I don't know anyone that can throw a ball 900 feet, that's 3 football fields. Their reason was they were forced to shorten the antenna by some government regulation. Reguardless it doesn't work!
 Making it smarter November 11, 2008
I've had this unit for about a year and it works very well to detect folks coming up my long driveway. I'm still on my first set of used batteries. My only problem is false alarms from deer at night and other "little forest creatures". I've decided to get a second transmitter and place it further up the drive. It's unlikely that a deer would trip both alerts, at least not as quickly as a car would, so only the proper sequence of alerts will indicate a real visitor. Either alert alone is just another deer.
The reporter does work !! November 5, 2008
I set up two of them and now have added one more all on the same home base. I do not know how I lived with out it...Come on robbers step into my driveway!! I have been using it one year now. Rather simple to put together...
NOT up to the standards of the original November 2, 2008
Beware these must have been farmed out to China for production as they have significantly less range than what was on the market as "The Reporter" just a year or more ago. Having owned several reporters and always being pleased we were disappointed when a set of batteries corroded a unit. We bought a replacement package and were shocked that the effective range could no longer work where we had the original system set up. This was approx 300' and now they cannot reach 100'!!! We bought an additional sensor and it to cannot achieve over 100'. The sensors have been downgraded somehow as I've set it up to work with either the old or new base station and the range stinks with either. I understand that advertised ranges are a pipe dream (1200' for this unit) but there is no reason a replacement unit should be of inferior quality to the original.

I have 4 transmitters that have been in operation for over 3 years. I have placed them in various areas on our property We can tell where the alarm is by the number of beeps. I works great. We finally had one fail and i'm goiong to replace it. It would be nice to know where i can get it repaired.
