2.0 out of 5 stars Works - but at what price?, 14 Oct 2009
By Dan E (Seljord, Norway) - See all my reviews

This product detects objects (larger animals, cars, people) passing its sensor, transmits the signal to the indoor unit and the indoor unit does indeed make you aware of the situation.

But:

-- -- The sensor sends at least two alert signals to the indoor unit. It should keep its mouth shut for maybe 30 seconds afterwards, maybe even a minute! It is essentially quite a 'dumb' sensor.
-- -- The indoor sensor has a piercingly loud, unchangeable shrieking tone composed of an 'up' and a 'down' tone which sound THREE TIMES. Essentially six tones. And then bear in mind the sensor alerts the indoor unit at least twice per pedestrian. So that's already 12 tones. Minimum.

VERY VERY VERY ANNOYING.

And this is already my second unit. My first one failed. My second has a defect whereby the LED is always on a little bit.

I am getting frustrated just describing this product...

5.0 out of 5 stars Works Good, January 27, 2010

It works great but not for what i wanted it for.
I wanted the receiver inside and the sensor part outdoors. It won't work at all if their is a window or wall in the way.

But it works perfect when the two are in close proximity to each other.

1.0 out of 5 stars Dead on arrival..., October 30, 2010

By

This review is from: Wireless Instant Alert, Cars People, Diveway, As Seen on TV (Tools & Home Improvement)

The price was right and the shipping was fast, unfortunately the receiver unit was dead on arrival. Tried new batteries and a 4.5v adapter, nothing. As with any product, these things can happen. For the cost of this item, however, it's not worth the time or cost to return the item for replacement.

I'm not giving the product one star for quality or usability, but only because I received a faulty unit. Not the fault of Amazon or necessarily the manufacturer...
