We are in a very dark isolated area and this makes our life a little more comfortable. Had a little trouble setting it up soit would work properly, but once it was angled right it worksvery well. We bought after seeing how well my brother's worked after 8 yrs.
It did not work 600 I moved it to 400 then 200 ft. I bought this sensor with the trust it would work 900 ft. from base. and it did not work. there was nothing blocking from sensor to base but a window and when I got the sensor in the house it worked.(that was about 30 ft)
Alert 1 is one ding, alert 2 is 2 dings and alert 3 is 3 dings. This product is awesome. It also has a setting so that it doesn't pick up animals. We purchased extra alerters and now have 3 hooked to the one receiver. Each alerter is different in sound so you know exactly where the alert is coming from. Really awesome. Best money I have spent in a long time.
We have had this alert system for over three years and it works great on our driveway. I especially like the one-hour "time-out" feature, where the receiver stops buzzing for one hour, but then comes back online automatically. We live in a salt water environment, which is tough on electrical systems, but the Chamberlain has held up well and the battery life is incredible. We have the usual problem with small animals and bushes in a strong wind, but overall a good system. I use this when a pesky cat decides to play in the driveway or a windstorm keeps the bushes moving. The alert system we had before this one did not have that feature and I kept forgetting to turn it back on after a big storm.
I have the original "Reporter" and two sensors that work as advertised, I decided to install a third sensor so ordered from Amazon the new type marked "Chamberlain", less money and it doesn't work I guess the name change negated the working ability, I have had it over a year and it worked twice both times when I tied to "teach" it to the base station it worked well at that range of a few feet. The originals have wonderful battery life and work as they should even in the cold and snowy Maine Winters and at twice the distance but the newer one,forget it( which is easy because it never goes off)
