5.0 out of 5 stars Driveway Great, March 22, 2006

By	Bonnie Bullard "5 Speed Turtle" (East TN) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

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.

1.0 out of 5 stars NOT up to the standards of the original, November 2, 2008

By	Tad A. (South Carolina) - See all my reviews

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Product for the price and use, February 8, 2007

By	Scott B (Melbourne, FL) - See all my reviews

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.
