5.0 out of 5 stars Using this to monitor a hallway..., June 5, 2011

I am taking care of an elderly relative and need to know when she wakes up in the morning. Although a little pricey, this Dakota Alert kit is exactly what I needed. First off, the sensor is battery powered and can be placed anywhere. (Don't know how long the batteries will last, but the manual says 6 to 12 months.) I set it on the corner of desk in the hall. You can turn off the red light so it is not a distraction and doesn't surprise anyone by blinking. The monitor needs to be plugged in but that isn't a problem because I keep it by my chair. What I really like is the monitor has a volume control. Unlike the cheaper motion sensor systems that have very loud, scary, alarms, I can turn down the volume to a quiet level. You can choose from four alarms...I like the stanza from Beethoven's Fur Elise as a gentle notification alarm. To configure the system, you may need to open the sensor and monitor cases to set little switches inside each. Following the diagrams in the manual, I had no problem with this. This system is exactly what I needed. I would recommend it to anyone that wants a motion "notification" system rather than a full blown perimeter alarm system...although it can be used for that too.

Works well, currently using inside a church to indicate members using side dorr. Receiver in office at least 400' away working fine. Easy to install, very versitile options. No unneeded options you pay for. My only dislike is of the 4 sound options they are all annoying. the only one acceptable sounds exactly like our outside door bell.

5.0 out of 5 stars great for security, December 13, 2011

we bought this for a detatched garage that sits 200' from the house. works great, anytime someone enters the garage, the receiver in the house goes off. we turn the receiver off during the day and on at night. now we'll know if anyone ever enters the garage. the battery in the sensor has lasted at least 2 years. great investment for piece of mind.
