I actually bought several of these units - one for myself and others to give as gifts.
Personally, I initially just wanted to use this to protect our Christmas yard decorations from vandals. I figured if anyone was messing with our expensive decorations in the middle of the night the Wireless Reporter would warn us. Since then though, we now have it protecting our cars and it gives us great piece of mind. As a bonus, it lets us know when other cars pull into our driveway (60 seconds to throw on a robe before unexpected guests ring the doorbell) and the mailman even sets it off letting us know the daily mail has arrived.
We gave two additional units to relatives that live in rural areas with long driveways. This lets them know when guests arrive and their mailbox is so far away it also alerts them to new mail. Additionally, criminals often lurk on these properties trying to steal trailors and lawn equipment. The Reporter is a great way of letting them know when they have uninvited guests.
We added 3-more sensors to protect all four sides of our home from burglars, peeping toms and to make sure our teenagers are not sneaking in/out of the house.
We get a couple of false hits on one sensor. But, we narrowed it down to the cause being the sun hitting the sensor just right in the evening. So. we just adjusted the sensor and no more problems.
I highly recommend these units and they are far cheaper on Amazon than Radio Shack, etc.
The range is great too. I tested ours up to 6 houses down and it did fine!
This means you can leave your receiver with a neighbor when you go out of town to help monitor your home while you are away.
