Driveway Alarm- 1/2 Mile Long Range Wireless Driveway Alarm Outdoor Weather Resistant Motion Sensor&Detector-DIY Security Alert-Monitor&Protect Outdoor/Indoor Property - 1 Receiver and 2 SensorsRecycled Claim Standard Blended

I've had this product for over a year now as we've been building our dream home and living in another home across the street. We needed to know if someone was going up the driveway which is about 300 to 400 feet long up hill and away from the house we're living in is another 200 feet. The new house is made of concrete and the walls are about 10 feet thick. Now that we moved into the new house, we need to know if someone pulls into the other driveway accross the street. I thought there's no way the receiver will get triggered that far away and through concrete. I was shocked this morning when I plugged it in before my husband drove to the other house. It went off immediately! For being such a low tech solution, it works incredibly well. Highly recommend for those of us who need a reliable alert for a reasonable price.

This is a great item to purchase, as I have convienced my friends and those that I work with it is okay to have a camera at your home but when you are asleep you can't see anyone getting close to your home. With these owls you can position them anywhere. I have one located at the entrance of my driveway and when someone enters it says driveway and my dogs know which direction to go in. I have another one by my front door and it says front door I know someone is coming. There is another one at the window of my dogs room and if something or someone comes from the woods it barks and I'm on it. As I stated in the begin I recommended these to my friends and they have passed it on to their friends. We take our hats off to the inventor, great job. By the way I have ordered so far 6.

There are a few options to mount the sensor, making it versatile in most any application. The receiver is cute, and has many sounds, and loudness, to chose from. The range of the sensor is far enough to capture movement without someone seeing the sensor first. The color of the sensor makes it easy to place in a shadowed, or darker area, and not be easily seen. The sensor is quick acting, and the receiver responds quickly as well. The manual, included in the box, helps make the installation go quickly and easily. There is also a Youtube video on the connection of the two units. The product support is top quality. One of my sensor eyes had a blemish on it. I mentioned it to the company and received a replacement within two days. The two units work in harmony, and now I know when someone is coming before the knock on the door, or when there is an unwanted dog on my lawn.

Whether you knew that before, or shall soon be able to cure: thanks to this observant owl.When a package was to be delivered: it seems I had found myself looking out/down the front door to see if my arrival was leaning there, every thirty-or-so minutes, until it had landed (without me noticing). [Mind you, this being back when my deliveries were more ‘seasonal’ than ‘occasional.’ When that balance started to shift: I found myself spending more time looking outside than previously, but not in the good way.]Wherein the ‘cable guy’ (etc.) was to arrive somewhen between too-early and where-the-hell-is-he-already, or for when those scheduled drop-offs/pick-ups that could typically ‘wander’ by fifteen/twenty(/more) minutes, either which way: I would (un/sub-consciously) find myself sitting somewhere I could clearly see the driveway out-the-window, or worse: close-only-enough to lean-and-look, every thirty-or-so seconds. [Okay, so apparently, I don't appreciate getting caught with my pants down, so to speak, also, fervently do I not enjoy surprise knocks upon my door...] All of said such (creeping-)anxieties miraculously melted away within a day-or-so after the arrival of my ‘little lookout.’*¡DING*DONG*DING*DONG!* goes the watch-owl when someone has dared trespass upon my domain... providing me (at least) thirty seconds before engaging the enemy/friend/stranger... [more than enough time to hitch-up my pants (and grab an axe), ready then to face-down whom/whatever has invaded my demesne.]Further, upon the farewell ‘donging,’ I know then the delivery person has dearly departed: such to then swing-wide the door [regardless the state of my (un)dress... ah, life out in the woods: so refreshing].Notifications– Weak, you can do better. Honestly, if you let us USB-sideload our favorite Ringtones for this owl to hoot-out, I suspect we'd love/pay you more to hear ‘our song.’ [My Phone's ‘Noises’ were well-chosen for the simple fact of that I can(not) hear them, from way far away from me, where it resides most-of-the-time: dependent upon the manner/format/timeliness of ‘bother’ said contact/nuisance might potentially rain down upon me.] I want the receiver-owl to whistle-out a familiar ditty that I can assuredly hear from anywhere in the house, whatever (else) I happen to be doing. Which reminds me...Volume– Please, give a (few) lower volume-setting(s). On lowest, it is still way too loud. I considered relocating the receiver to the basement: knowing that would there, then still be quietly-loud-enough to be heard Everywhere... such data herein being expressed that you, dear reader, might be(come) aware/warned before buying said almost-perfect doohickey: location, location, location. The receiver was eventually stuffed-in, back-behind a thick sofa: good enough; but now I cannot see the flashy-eyes: which thereby also informed my Other Sense that ‘someone approaches.’ The Point– kindly, turn it down (furthermore): you don't (always/only) need to Shout (at me).Weatherization– Following the advice of others: I (better-than-)BRAND-taped over the battery case (and the hanging-hook) to ensure no water gets in. Cannot speak as to whether or not that would have proven an issue... Better to play it safe: listen to the pragmatist/doomsayer (in your head / of these reviews).Mounting– Easy: like five minutes to hang/angle perfectly.Target Range– Short, for me: corner of the house, looking across the driveway into the shrubs behind: twenty feet, or so. No Problem. Angled the seeing-owl slightly down, such as to not catch the windblown-afar-brush setting it off: which it never has, while observed. Did decide to shear-off some shrubbery (I should have disemboweled forever ago) being nearer-wise within the projected ‘staring-path’... Unfortunately, having done that before hanging the owl: such to then fail to answer-for-you whether that would have proven sufficient-enough ‘interference’ to set it off... [Apologies, so short-sighted of me.]Misfires– Twice: not sure what triggered it. [Damn Gremlins.] It isn't the birds. I'm presently watching a flock of robins scavenging/swooping in line-of-sight: nothing. The geese/ducks/heron? No, the backyard pond-trajectories don't cross that path. Perhaps the hawk/owl: doing what they do, dis/appearing out of nowhere? Possibly. Confirmed Triggers– Turkey: they pass through every few days, seasonally, I smile and wave and they ‘whatever’ me back, keep about their business of keeping my yard well-kept clear of bugs and berries and such; Deer: similar transitory pattern of guaranteed safe-passage/haven... Never do I mind any of them dropping by, (un)announced.Peeping-Owl, the second– Still in the factory-box. Mayhap I'll hide it in the mailbox: perchance startle the postal worker, once. Nah... Then I'd be reminded the outside world keeps coming a-knocking, every other day-or-so. [Besides, I don't get much in the way of mail, and it's all crap. Once a week I clean/dump it out (roundabout the same frequency I download my email, too): just so the postal worker knows if/when a welfare-check might(n't) be in order... Again, this consideration put-in-place long before I started receiving packages on the semi-regular (thank you, donor). I presume Amazon's/subcontractors' deliverers, too, are taught to take/present notice regarding such potential concerns?]Overall– Four Stars: the ‘songs’ are (mostly) not great, and (far) too loud. Make both those better and happily I'll make better my review. But otherwise, Thank You, truly, for helping diagnose/treat(/cure?) me of my ‘arrival anxieties’ heretofore remaining un-known/acknowledged that I had (gotten worse), until duly reflected back-upon.ps. This was a ‘thumbed’ one-sitting (then slept-on-it) second draft. [Mayhap more therapeutic/revealing than originally intended... ah, the (pseudo-)anonymity afforded of an internet-forum: so liberating.]

I had a driveway alarm from Harbor Freight that gave out in inclement weather. We replaced with this. It works well. It has a lot of different choices for sound, but the only one I like is the doorbell, so I have had to learn to discern the doorbell sound from my ring doorbell. Works great, seems to be holding up in the wet weather, it is in a tree. I do like the volume control as well
