 Reporter helps catch thieves! |

| On our 60 acres, thieves had broken into our new home under construction, stealing $19,000 worth of equipment, tools and supplies. After installing the Reporter, a problem arose, every time deer moved about, the alarm would sound and my husband would have to go check it. After many false alarms much to our surprise, one late night, instead of the 4-legged kind of deer, it turned out to be a couple of 2-legged "dears" back again to steal more. We held them at gunpoint until the police arrived and hauled them off to jail for trespassing, burglary and grand theft. We don't care about the times the deer make the alarm go off because we finally caught the thieves. The Reporter lets us know any movement on the driveway coming and going. We are grateful for this little device which has helped us stop the robberies. We're still checking every time the alarm sounds. |
It's workin 100% again - 2nd Update from "Dan on the farm"

THis is a second review and an update to my previous review written By "Dan on the Farm" in Oct 04.
About 48 hrs after I had the intial problems of it being intermitent, it started working again and has been about 99% effective since then. The only times that it misses a few alerts is on a REALLY foggy, damp, misty condition. Almost like it can't transmit through the pea soup. But other than that, it works great. It just had that 24 hr period in October when it became unreliable.
Today is 14 Jan, 05 and the temp here is -1 F. Works great even in these low temps. Had it about 6 months now and am very pleased. Again, our radio shack in central Illinois has it for around $75. Good luck and email if you have questions: 60745@myswa.com

| I have been using the Reporter now for over a year and it works just as promised. We were a bit skeptical at first, judging by the picture and the descriptions, but sure enough it worked just as advertised. We have a long, windy driveway with lots of interference in terms of trees, bushes, and a large barn. The Reporter works flawlessly, in spite of the surroundings! |
Works great!

| Reviewer: the feral human, |
| I highly recommend "the reporter". I'm using it for my driveway- the motion sensor is set up about 200ft from the house and the signal has to travel through 150ft of woods, through a six inch exterior wall, and an interior wall with no reception problems. I have had zero false alarms from small animals and there are lots of them here in the woods. I haven't had any false alarms from cb interference even though my house is close to a highway. The external relay contacts could be used to turn on a light or to trigger some other device like an existing alarm system. It's made well and easy to set up. |
BEEP!

I bought this little booger thinking it'd tell me when someone was in my driveway. I stuck the sensor under a bush and put the receiver in my bedroom at the back of the house, thinking I'd move the sensor if the leaves made it go off and move the receiver if the sensor couldn't send the signal that far. So far I've had to move neither. This crazy thing can shoot a signal all the way up my 70' drive, through several walls and brick, then all the way to my back bedroom with no problems. Not only that, but it'll sit in the bushes and never go off till a leg breaks it's field of view. I've had zero false alarms. I don't know how it does it. People and cars are all it seems to see. Perfect!
As for the Beep! sound, it's not really very loud. In fact I'd like a volume to turn it up so I can hear it from the bedroom when I'm in the living room, and there is a MUTE switch if you want it to be quiet.
As for Cons, the only thing I thought was annoying was the initial piecing together of the unit, which comes mostly disassembled. Read the instructions and you should be OK though. |
