Everything about this device was wrong. The fully charged sensor would not trigger a reaction from the receiver/alarm unless in the same room. The sensor case is almost impossible to pull apart in order to make settings. The tiny "manual" is extremely poor. The only good thing: Amazon.com gave a prompt, complete refund.

This eats up the expensive rechargeable batteries. It will work for about 10 days or so, and then stops. When I take it apart, and check with a multimeter, the solar cells are working just fine. Fresh batteries make it work again, but they have to be rechargeable. After a few days in the Houston heat and humidity, the rechargeable batteries are dead and will no longer hold a charge. Then it's time to install new batteries.

Not recommended. It cannot be relied upon to dependably work and inform you when someone has approached the door.

I have contacted Heath Zenith, and they state that rechargeable batteries in the heat of a Houston summer cannot be reasonably be expected to last more than a month or so. Perhaps the batteries will last longer over the winter here in Houston (all 4 weeks of it).

Definitly will not purchase any Heath Zenith items again.

I think I wasted my money-- the thing works great while you are standing in front of it ,holding it--once you place it in the yard it has trouble finding itself!!

very satisfied. replacing a similar unit, also (heath zenith) is over 5 years old and still working fine. just wanted to up-grade to solar unit. take your time, read the directions, and it will work as well as advertised. would have given 5 stars but instructions are in very small print.

I had to turn the sensitivity ALL THE WAY down to keep it from picking up cars on the main road 75 ft away. It is very inconspicuous. It resembles a decorative light people have along their driveway. The LIGHT feature partially works. It just comes on for a second, so if there is a lot of activity, it will go on and off constantly. I still use it, but only for notice when someone is coming and I don't feel like watching out the front window.
