Comments about Chamberlain Wireless Wireless Pedestrian & Vehicle Alert System:

Although located only ~40 feet from receiver we still have times when it doesn't alert us to incoming traffic. This may be due somewhat to the metal structure of the building, but it appears to always work when pedestrians come down the drive, but certain vehicles never appear to activate it.

Comments about Chamberlain Wireless Wireless Pedestrian & Vehicle Alert System:

I like knowing that someone is coming up the driveway, before they get to the door and surprise me!

Comments about Chamberlain Wireless Wireless Pedestrian & Vehicle Alert System:

Easy to instal, set up, and use.
Works every time.
Adjustable range & sensitivity

Comments about Chamberlain Wireless Wireless Pedestrian & Vehicle Alert System:

It is a good warning when someone drives in the driveway. But doesn't work all the time, not sure if the vehicle is moving too slow, fast or the color of vehicle makes a difference. The most annoying is it ringing in the middle of the night when the deer are out playing.

Comments about Chamberlain Wireless Wireless Pedestrian & Vehicle Alert System:

It works just like thay said it would. very good.

Comments about Chamberlain Wireless Wireless Pedestrian & Vehicle Alert System:

Bought the Chamberlian alert system along with an extra receiver. I have adjusted both transmitters, the receiver, line of sight, replaced the new batteries and still the units only work occasionally. The units are set up less than 70 feet apart with no obstacles in their path, a direst line of sight between all units. I would not purchase another or recommend this alert system to anyone. It is very unreliable.

Comments about Chamberlain Wireless Wireless Pedestrian & Vehicle Alert System:

I purchased this driveway alert system in addition to one I already have that only alerts when vehicles pass. This one was suppose to alert for pedestrians too. I live out in the woods and have a 800 foot driveway, so I thought getting the Chamberlain with a 900 ft range would be perfect. Well, maybe if you don't have any trees. I set up the sensor and the extra one I purchased in various places before finally getting them to work at about 150 feet and one about 60 feet from the receiver. The one at 150 feet goes off about 75% of the time and the closer one about 10% of the time. I am still contiplating whether to return both for my money back. BTW the one I have for vehicles is 500 ft away and works fine, it cost less than the Chamberlain. Also they don't work at all when it's cold outside.

Comments about Chamberlain Wireless Wireless Pedestrian & Vehicle Alert System:

I use this as an entry alarm in my store while I am in the back where I cannot see the front door. It works good sometimes but occasionaly does not beep when someone comes in. Seems to be effected by sunlite. Probably would not recommend the item for this use.

Comments about Chamberlain Wireless Wireless Pedestrian & Vehicle Alert System:

Alerts the house when anyone approaches the gate from either direction, that
includes my dogs.

Additional units give conformation and direction of all movement along my
property over 800'.

Works well with minimal line of site. Can be located at any level to adjust for
size of target subjects, high for cars/trucks, lower to include smaller objects.

Comments about Chamberlain Wireless Wireless Pedestrian & Vehicle Alert System:

After relocating the sensor and replacing the new batteries, then relocating the receiver a couple of times, I've come to the conclusion that I would not purchase another or recommend this so called alert system to anyone. My application has been set-up within 80 feet from each other (no obstacles in path) and the unit works occasionally. Not very reliable. 900 feet range... where did that come from?

Comments about Chamberlain Wireless Wireless Pedestrian & Vehicle Alert System:

Virtually useless at any distance. Will be returned for refund.

Comments about Chamberlain Wireless Wireless Pedestrian & Vehicle Alert System:

Can't hear the alert - sound is too low. Doesn't even bother our pets. Now we have to go to the trouble and expense to purchase an alternate alerting system to hook onto the back of it, such as doorbell, light, etc. The system needs alert sound improvements.

Comments about Chamberlain Wireless Wireless Pedestrian & Vehicle Alert System:

says it will pick up at 900ft mine never would get over 200ft

Comments about Chamberlain Wireless Wireless Pedestrian & Vehicle Alert System:

I have purchased two complete systems with seven remote sensors. They have been in operation for over three years without failure.
I will strongly recommend purchase of this system to warn of intruders in long isolated driveways like mine. I have a quarter of a mile in a very wooded setting, but it works great.
I use two sensors in a row about 100 yards apart in case it is a deer or a bear instead of a vehicle or person. I also use them around the main house to get an alert in case of intruders.

Comments about Chamberlain Wireless Wireless Pedestrian & Vehicle Alert System:

There are two problems regarding the sensitivity of the sender. First, it's a tedious process to adjust the sensitivity of the sender. Second, I was unable to adjust the sensitivity to detect a vehicle but ignore a person on foot.

Sensitivity is adjusted with two switches inside the housing of the sender. Each time you want to make an adjustment, you have to remove four screws, open the housing, switch one or two switches, put the housing back together, and replace four screws. It's too bad there isn't some way to switch the switches without taking it apart.

None of the four possible sensitivity switch combinations would let the sender detect a passing vehicle, but ignore a person or large animal. It either detected both or ignored both.

I might have been able to find the right combination if I had experimented with different locations and angles for the sender. But I just decided to live with having the buzzer sound on both vehicles and people on foot.

We've been using the unit for two months. Overall I would recommend this unit to others. But it's not quite as easy to set up as I had hoped.

Comments about Chamberlain Wireless Wireless Pedestrian & Vehicle Alert System:

Bought a chamberlian alert system along with an extra receiver. The 900 feet range of transmission is worthless. I have adjusted both transmitters ,line of sight even and could only get about 300 feet. Then they only work sometimes. I would not recommend these to anyone over 300 feet range

Comments about Chamberlain Wireless Wireless Pedestrian & Vehicle Alert System:

Installed 2 of these in two different sites. Had to relocate one of the transmitters because of a metalic obstruction. Range is very good. Wish there was an adapter to give the transmitter AC power.

Comments about Chamberlain Wireless Wireless Pedestrian & Vehicle Alert System:

The unit was easy to set up. The biggest problem I had was where to install it. I position the Alert system on the side of my house that has no windows and it works perfectly for my needs. I've been using it for 3 months now and feel safer at home. Totally recomend this unit.

Comments about Chamberlain Wireless Wireless Pedestrian & Vehicle Alert System:

Great product it works very well it has only went off 2 time for a false alarm it must of been a bird some times my son flys down the drive and it dont catch him but that only has happened 3 times i have had it for 3 months i would recommend it to every one. My son bougt me and my daughter one for mothers day and it the best gift i have every gotten. The price is right

Comments about Chamberlain Wireless Wireless Pedestrian & Vehicle Alert System:

75 feet is the max with this terrible unit, and that is with my WOOD not steel front door open. DO NOT purchase this terrible product. NH was great about the refund though.

Comments about Chamberlain Wireless Wireless Pedestrian & Vehicle Alert System:

I purchased this recently and have had good experience - it was easy to set up (I have 2 receivers) and install. The only thing I would improve upon is the depth of detection - it only detects motion up to 30' away. It does, however, have a very wide span...so much so that I had to cover part of one side so that street traffic does not set it off! All in all, it seems like a quality product for the money.

Comments about Chamberlain Wireless Wireless Pedestrian & Vehicle Alert System:

It does not reach anywhere near the 900ft. mark. I moved the receiver all around the house and it was only about 500ft. away at the most and would not receive a signal. But my hat's off to Northern Tools, they gave me my money back without any hassels.
This product might work properly if you are with in 150ft.?
My suggestion is to get a dog they are more reliable!

Comments about Chamberlain Wireless Wireless Pedestrian & Vehicle Alert System:

This alert system is NO GOOD! It says it has a transmission range of 1200ft, or 900 feet, depend which part you want to believe. How about NEITHER! I have a driveway about 600 feet long and this thing did not work until I got to about 100 feet from my house! What good is that? By then I can see who is in my driveway. I do not recommend this product at all.

Comments about Chamberlain Wireless Wireless Pedestrian & Vehicle Alert System:

This system is easy to install and has been reliable. It works quite well and sometimes to well, squirrels set it off occasionally. It is the best product that I have found in its price range and plan to add more sensors.

Comments about Chamberlain Wireless Wireless Pedestrian & Vehicle Alert System:

I have owned this unit for several years and beleive it is the best on the market . I added a pizzo buzzer to it to make it heard farther away and it works great . It picks up 98% of cars ,people and animals that cross in front of it. I liked it so much that I gave one to a friend as a house warming gift and He likes it too.

Comments about Chamberlain Wireless Wireless Pedestrian & Vehicle Alert System:

I have a 250 foot driveway. This alert system has been working very well for over two years using the same 4 AA batteries. I recently changed batteries just to be safe. Of course, we are also alerted to deer using the driveway at 3:00 AM.

Comments about Chamberlain Wireless Wireless Pedestrian & Vehicle Alert System:

Purchased this "gaget" to help monitor my very long and hidden driveway. I did not expect much, but I thought I would give it a try.

Much to my amazement, it was easy to set up, works flawlessly, and is very dependable. It's been on the job for 6 months and I have no complaints what-so-ever.

Comments about Chamberlain Wireless Wireless Pedestrian & Vehicle Alert System:

I have used this detector for about three years and have been satisfied with it for the most part. It works better than another brand I had that cost twice as much. It will occasionally not detect a car passing by and will sometimes have a false alarm but overall I would much rather have it than not.

Comments about Chamberlain Wireless Wireless Pedestrian & Vehicle Alert System:

The dogs have quickly come to recognize that the chime from this system means "visitors are coming!".

Our home is set back about 800' from the road, with the driveway going over the fields and thru the woods.... we never had much chance to know when someone was coming back for a visit.

I mounted the receiver about 600' feet from the house and it works great.... occasionaly a bunch of deer will walk by and we get a stream of chimes, but it rarely misses a car coming back.

The only reason I gave it 4 instead of 5 stars, is that in winter, even with the weather shield in place, the sensor can fill with snow and stop working until the snow melts or I get up the driveway to clean in out.

I'd buy this item again.

Comments about Chamberlain Wireless Wireless Pedestrian & Vehicle Alert System:

I installed the alarm along the driveway to alert me of anyone coming or going. The line of sight between the receiver and transmitter is obstructed by a small patch of woods/brush, but it works great. Total distance is approx. 500' . No more surprise visits or people at my door without me already knowing they are coming. I would recommend this product to all.

Comments about Chamberlain Wireless Wireless Pedestrian & Vehicle Alert System:

Installed two months ago and has worked flawlessly. The distance from my driveway entry sensor to the location in the house for the receiver is only about 200 ft but the signal appears to function each time on people or vehicles. The post on which the sensor is mounted is about 20 ft from a right angle roadway where many vehicles pass so I used the angle feature on the mounting to focus it away from that road to keep out unwanted alerts. Also it is set to the lower sensitivity mode. Additionally I added a 12v digital counter to the auxilliary contacts so I could tell when there is an entry when we are not in the house and it will increment by one on each entry--not that we would necessarily know who it was but still helpful.

Comments about Chamberlain Wireless Wireless Pedestrian & Vehicle Alert System:

We use one receiver and 3 transmitters - with average to good success!
We have connected the receiver to a door bell and hear it loud and clear!
We did notice light and speed can cause deviations in the quality of the system's ability to sound an alert. (92 % accurate)
Over all the units are working reasonably well for our application and the total investment.

Comments about Chamberlain Wireless Wireless Pedestrian & Vehicle Alert System:

This product was excellent. It provides a manageable security system adding safety to our home and garage area without any major cost. I have also recommended and brought this product for my parents and it gives me a piece of mind knowing them and their home is safe.

Comments about Chamberlain Wireless Wireless Pedestrian & Vehicle Alert System:

I live near the end of a very private road. I need to distinguish between people who are merely lost and people who intend to visit. I've got one sensor/transmitter on the road and another at the driveway entrance.
Using the low sensitivity setting, I have had ZERO false alarms. The only time the transmitter fails to notify is when a vehicle passes on the far side of the road, going relatively fast. I attribute this mostly to the distance I have the sensor from the road, rather than the distance of the transmitter from the receiver station in the house. The transmitters have no problem communicating from their locations 900 feet and 300 feet with a clear line of sight.
I wouldn't mind having an easier method to change the tones generated by each transmitter, otherwise, if I had a use for another sensor/transmitter, I wouldn't hesitate to buy another.

Comments about Chamberlain Wireless Wireless Pedestrian & Vehicle Alert System:

Have had this device for several months and cannot get good results yet. Sensor is only 100 feet from alarm box. It is very sporatic about picking up a signal, even though I have adjusted it several times in the driveway according to instructions. I am still trying to make it work, but it is getting frustrating.

Comments about Chamberlain Wireless Wireless Pedestrian & Vehicle Alert System:

Really value this as an early warning system when people come down our drive. Lets us know when we have company, both invited and uninvited. Only can't get it adjusted so that birds, bugs and sunshining into it doesn't set it off.

Comments about Chamberlain Wireless Wireless Pedestrian & Vehicle Alert System:

The wireless alert system is pretty effective if placed correctly. Moving foliage or an insufficient field of view give false alarms or lack of alarm. Do not place the sensor in a Southerly orientation as the sun appears to overload it resulting in no detections. During rainstorms it will not detect vehicle traffic as the rain cools the engine's sheet metal covering sufficiently to prevent detection. Signal transmission from the sensor, through 200 feet of woodland and a brick wall is flawless.

Comments about Chamberlain Wireless Wireless Pedestrian & Vehicle Alert System:

We have a small vineyard and winery that is open to the public but we don't always hang out in the winery with house work and farm chores to be done. Unfortunately, there were times when we didn't notice that a car had pulled in until they were already leaving. Definitely not good for business! Since installing the Chamberlain Wireless Alert System across the entrance to the parking lot, we have not missed a single customer. In fact, the early alert allows us to get out to the winery and get prepared for them before they can even get to the front door. When we first installed it, it often buzzed when a car was just passing by, but since aiming the transmitter slightly away from the road, we have not had a single false alarm. I now feel more relaxed when I am in the house, knowing that the Chamberlain Wireless Alert will let me know when I have a customer or visitor. We are extremely happy with this product!

Comments about Chamberlain Wireless Wireless Pedestrian & Vehicle Alert System:

The system was very disappointing. The range was acceptable but the motion sensor was listed being able to detect movement in the range of 30 feet. The system I purchased is not reliable within a 20 foot range.

Comments about Chamberlain Wireless Wireless Pedestrian & Vehicle Alert System:

We are happy with our driveway alarm. I have purchased one for our home and also one for our business.

It would be nice if it had an option of ringer tones and a volume button, but it's really not that big of a deal.

Comments about Chamberlain Wireless Wireless Pedestrian & Vehicle Alert System:

The system is not costly nor difficult to install however it has some real limitations. There is NO way the system would work at 1,200 ft unless there were absolutely nothing between the sensor and monitor and the weather conditions were perfect. It works better on people and dogs versus cars coming down the driveway. It probably only detects 50% of the cars going down the driveway in spite of adjusting it several times. I guess it is not bad for what it cost however I would have paid twice the amount for a better unti.

Comments about Chamberlain Wireless Wireless Pedestrian & Vehicle Alert System:

It does not detect all vehicles that enter driveway. Sometines it will recognize a car other times it does not sometimes it recognizes trucks other times it doesn't. You just cant depend on it to signal when a vehicle is entering.

Comments about Chamberlain Wireless Wireless Pedestrian & Vehicle Alert System:

The wireless alert system that I bought works great and has helped us in feeling secure in and around our property. Great product and will recommend to others. The beeping sound can get annoying but you have to remember what you bought it for. No one can surprise me anymore.

Comments about Chamberlain Wireless Wireless Pedestrian & Vehicle Alert System:

We had wondered "what we could do to provide security ", We live 1/4 mile from the road and never knew when people were going to arrive at our door welcome or otherwise. We purchased the Wireless Alert system as we had no power on our driveway. All we needed for the sensor was battery power. We wired the system base in the house and taught the sensor to the base, and off I trudged to see how far it could go, and still get a signal. I reached the top of the drive, and it still worked, the sensor was easily fixed to the fence post nearby. Now we are always alerted when some one has entered our driveway, all the pets, cats and dogs have learnt what the alert sound is. The product was easy to assemble, easy to install, and provides complete peace of mind, for our security. No surprises at our house anymore !!

Comments about Chamberlain Wireless Wireless Pedestrian & Vehicle Alert System:

This unit works great in dry weather, malfunctions after a rain (false alarms.) Although it has a cover which should keep direct rainfall off, some how moisture gets inside. I've tried to seal it but still have the same problem.

Comments about Chamberlain Wireless Wireless Pedestrian & Vehicle Alert System:

One sensor is mounted at the end of our driveway, another in the front porch eave to monitor the front steps and porch. The driveway sensor is around 300 feet from the receiver -- through one wall. The porch sensor is ~40 feet from the receiver through 3 walls. Both sensors seem to report accurately. Deer will occasionally wander by the driveway sensor and my wife's decorative flag will get the one on the porch in really windy conditions. Overall though, I would not say that we have a problem with animals smaller than deer setting it off. Installation was very simple and performance over the past couple of months has been stellar.

Comments about Chamberlain Wireless Wireless Pedestrian & Vehicle Alert System:

While I did not test the system to its advertised max limit (1200ft) I have it set up about 300ft down my drive at about a 15 degree angle to the road and 5ft off the ground This setting detect's cars trucks ATVs and pedestrian traffic while ignoring deer Needless to say I'm quite satisfied at this time.

Comments about Chamberlain Wireless Wireless Pedestrian & Vehicle Alert System:

I was surprized it worked around a corner. I have a line of site to the road about 300 ft away but I placed the divice about a 125 ft further around the side of a small mountain, I still recieved a strong signal. It aways lets us know when foot, car traffic or our resident moose is coming up the driveway.

Comments about Chamberlain Wireless Wireless Pedestrian & Vehicle Alert System:

We live in a rural area of the Ozarks. Our house sets 1000 ft back from the county road. Frequently, visitors, delivery trucks, etc. would arrive at our house and we would not be aware of their arrival. We installed the Chamberlain Wireless Alert System transmitter on a tree beside our drive about halfway between our house and the road. The whole installation was very simple, took less than 10 minutes to do and everything worked perfectly the first time. We hooked the receiver to a doorbell system that sounds in our house and shop. Now, we know when anyone is coming down our drive. We have had it installed for two months now and it is great. The ONLY problem we have is an occasional deer wandering down the drive and triggering the bell.
Highly reccommend!

This item is installed at our entrance gate (480Ft, thru woods). It works 100%.
I now have knowledge of people/cars before they are in our front yard, No false signals yet.
Thanks Northern, good product.

PS; I painted it to match the back side of the brick entrance posts, hard to see even if ya know it's their.

Comments about Chamberlain Wireless Wireless Pedestrian & Vehicle Alert System:

I purchased this system after trying a cheaper system. This unit is mounted as directed about 450 feet from my house. At first the alarm system picked up every vehicle traveling down our busy road. I remounted it and aimed the sensor away from the road and at about 30 degrees toward my residence. The unit continues to give me false alarms! After checking the unit and replacing 30 day old batteries, it still sends false signals. I need a unit that is more trustworthy than this system. It crys wolf to often. I intend to return this to Northern Tool.

Comments about Chamberlain Wireless Wireless Pedestrian & Vehicle Alert System:

It takes a lot of adjustments, but when you get just right it works well, except when it drops below 25 degrees below zero.

Comments about Chamberlain Wireless Wireless Pedestrian & Vehicle Alert System:

This was my first purchase from Northern Tool. The item was on back order, but a couple of days later I received my tracking number via E-mail.

The remote is easy to set up and works great. We were able to hide the sensor in the front yard, and it gives us just the right amount of warning when someone is in front of the house.

I can't wait to get this as a gift for my family members.

Comments about Chamberlain Wireless Wireless Pedestrian & Vehicle Alert System:

We have 25 acres and have three transmitters on the system. It is great to know when people are at the pond, in the back or coming up the driveway. Be aware that they need a sturdy mounting surface (don't use a tree) as the wind may provide false alarms. The only thing that would make it better would be a low battery alarm but I have gotten a year out of one set of batteries.

Comments about Chamberlain Wireless Wireless Pedestrian & Vehicle Alert System:

The alert works good most of the time, and is very handy for letting us know when someone is coming up our driveway. Sometimes though, and I can't pinpoint why, the alarm just won't go off. Still, most of the time it does.

Comments about Chamberlain Wireless Wireless Pedestrian & Vehicle Alert System:

I have installed them on my gates and shed. They each have their own number of beeps so I know wich gate or shed is open. I have three gates and one shed on the system and my wife and I refer to them by their beep number , gate one is one beep, gate two is two beeps, etc. Warm blooded animals and birds can set them off so you have to be a little carefull how you aim them to prevent to many false alarms. With squirls there is not much you can do but you get used to whats real and what isn't. If it is a real alarm someone moving through will trigger it more than once repeatedly. One single time is almost always a bird or squirl.

Comments about Chamberlain Wireless Wireless Pedestrian & Vehicle Alert System:

Overall a good wireless alert.
Works best in a window or next to an exterior wall closest to the transmitter.
It also seems to be slow below 40 degrees F.
It works great avoiding small animals and picking up people and cars.

Comments about Chamberlain Wireless Wireless Pedestrian & Vehicle Alert System:

I have this installed on my 500 foot driveway. I put one at the entry, one in the middle and one at the house. The sensor at the end of the driveway has no problem sending its signal to the receiver from 500 feet even through some trees. Because each of the sensors triggers a different alert tone on the receivers, I can tell when someone is entering the driveway or leaving from the house. Three sensors are a little much though because it will chime a total of 6 times everytime someone enters or leaves. I'm going to move the third sensor to alert me if someone enters my shop.

Comments about Chamberlain Wireless Wireless Pedestrian & Vehicle Alert System:

I purchased this and an additional transmitter about 6 months ago because I have 2 separate entrances to my property.
First, after trying multiple locations, I found that you really need unobstructed line of sight between the transmitter and receiver. In other words, no buildings, trees or structures in the way, and certainly not any hill or topographic feature to interrupt that required line of sight.
Second, even with a clear line of sight, I found that the receiver only alarms consistently and reliably when the transmitter is no further than about 400' feet away. Between 400' and 600', the reliability drops substantially. Over about 600' my unit will only alarm occasionally, and might as well not work at all. [Worse than having no alarm is an alarm you cannot dependably rely upon.] So, with those limitations in mind, then it works fine and I would recommend it. But I certainly wouldn't buy this if you assume it's going to work at a 1,200' distance as advertised. Maybe in the vacuum of space, but not the real world.
The manufacturer is no doubt restricted by the strength of the radio signal the transmitters can produce. If I were the manufacturer, I would offer small battery powered repeater stations, which could transform this product into potentionally unlimited range, and such repeater stations also could be located in such a manner to deal with obstructions between the transmitters and receiver. Just a thought.

Comments about Chamberlain Wireless Wireless Pedestrian & Vehicle Alert System:

I have had this unit for about 3 weeks and it is great knowing when someone is turning into my drive. I live at the entrance to a large state park and hear a lot of traffic noise. ie people stopping, changing drivers, etc. car doors opening and closing. I have a home office and this is a distraction. NOW I know when they turn into my drive without looking, this gives me peace of mind. I have a second transmitter at my front door/main entrance, this tells me when someone is on the porch or my pup wants in. The only problem I have had is a deer set it off the second or third night at about 1 AM. The next day I adjusted the transmitter and this has not happened again.

Comments about Chamberlain Wireless Wireless Pedestrian & Vehicle Alert System:

I purchased the chamberlain wireless alert to give my mother a way to know if someone was coming up our 700 foot driveway. The product has worked great after some initial tinkering to get the right angle to keep cars passing by from setting it off. That took only about 2 hours and after that it has worked great. I would recommed it to anyone who needs to know if someone is coming up the drive or is concerned with low level security alerts.

Comments about Chamberlain Wireless Wireless Pedestrian & Vehicle Alert System:

Easily installed, works well.

Comments about Chamberlain Wireless Wireless Pedestrian & Vehicle Alert System:

I have been looking for this type of product as my driveway is 500 ft. long and wanted to know when someone drove in. It works very well and the beep is loud enough that I can hear it wherever I am in the house. No more surprise visitors! Even my cat has learned someone will come in after she hears the alarm . I am pleased with this product and would recommend it .

Comments about Chamberlain Wireless Wireless Pedestrian & Vehicle Alert System:

I like this product it is very effective, excepted(except) when a squirrel is going to walk above.

Comments about Chamberlain Wireless Wireless Pedestrian & Vehicle Alert System:

Have been using system for about two months. It is better than advertised. We have a long driveway with a slight knoll in it. When we are at our pond we cannot see vehicles coming.
Installed 1st sensor a our gate, 1/3 of a mile. Second halfway down. Receiver antenna is placed on window with direct line of sight to sensors. Hooke up to outside bell and buzzers in house. Never fails to alert us. We live in a very rural community which has been tagerted by large city thugs about fifty mile away.
Now we feel we have a fighting chance. Also have sensor aimed at back porch. This one also senses if back door is opened. With a 3 year old in the house who likes to escape and go to pond, we feel just that part is worth the money of this item.

Highly recommend for both quality and usefulness.

ANTENNA LEAVES A LOT TO BE DESIRED = REFUSES TO STAY VERTICAL.RESULT IS POOR RELIABILITY. FEEL IF THAT WERE CORRECTED IT WOULD BE OUTSTANDING

Comments about Chamberlain Wireless Wireless Pedestrian & Vehicle Alert System:

For the most part it works ok. There are times when it gave an alert with no decernable reason. I thought it may have been a bird flying by the sensor though on one occassion I was watching. The alert sounded but nothing was seen. Another time a vehicle passed and it didn't go off. Since most of the time it works ok, I feel it is better than having nothing.

Comments about Chamberlain Wireless Wireless Pedestrian & Vehicle Alert System:

Fantastic product. Easy to set up . Works great. Love it

Comments about Chamberlain Wireless Wireless Pedestrian & Vehicle Alert System:

My wife and I love the alert system. Only problem is the electronic buzzer goes out after about a year or so. We have had 3 units and the buzzer has gone out on each one. I keep replacing the units because we like being alerted of visitors arriving. Just cannot live without it.

Comments about Chamberlain Wireless Wireless Pedestrian & Vehicle Alert System:

After researching for a dependable driveway alarm this system was reccommended to me by a friend. We could not be happier with the simpilicity and the accurrate way it works.

Comments about Chamberlain Wireless Wireless Pedestrian & Vehicle Alert System:

Wireless technology finally works without a flaw! This inexpensive detector is definitely worth the price. Simple to install - simple to use - simply works! I bought 2 of them as I needed one in my shop which is deep in my cellar, and I put one in my house. I never knew until now if anyone entered my property while I was down there. With a 1200 foot range there's almost no part of my property I can't monitor. This is a nice piece of equipment..

Comments about Chamberlain Wireless Wireless Pedestrian & Vehicle Alert System:

Works well but had to utilize an additional bell/buzer in that the alert was not audible from any discernable distance.....

Comments about Chamberlain Wireless Wireless Pedestrian & Vehicle Alert System:

very happy with chamberlain alert system, easy to install, good price, and feel safer already. I now know when someone is entering my property at all times, yet i don't jump out of my chair when it works, very discreet.

Comments about Chamberlain Wireless Wireless Pedestrian & Vehicle Alert System:

It doesn't always work (maybe 80%-90%) but is better then another brand wireless unit I bought several years ago. It is approx. 150 ft from the alarm to the house with nothing in the way. It is better than nothing but not 100%.

Comments about Chamberlain Wireless Wireless Pedestrian & Vehicle Alert System:

Live on a farm with livestock that we sell to others to replace herd animals. Before we bought the sensor, people were around our animals and in our corrals without out our knowing. Now we know who is on the farm.

Comments about Chamberlain Wireless Wireless Pedestrian & Vehicle Alert System:

My Chamberlain wireless alert system worked great right out of the box. I have it mounted about 1000 feet from my house and it reads and transmits very well. The transmittal path is partially obstructed with trees and it still functions great every time. It has given my property that little bit of additional security that I was hunting for.

Comments about Chamberlain Wireless Wireless Pedestrian & Vehicle Alert System:

Bought one several months ago for the driveway. works great. Bought 3 more to cover the back yard, walkways and front door. This product is reliable and it does everything it claims to do. AA batteries are still working on the one we bought months ago. Very happy with the product. Just wish they make one that can handle more than 4 sensors but still highly recommend this product.

Comments about Chamberlain Wireless Wireless Pedestrian & Vehicle Alert System:

The Chaberlain Wireless Alert System is an inexpensive product for piece of mind. Living on a long driveway far off the road, it nice to have the capability to know when someone or thing is coming down the drive. Before I had the wireless alert, you would walk outside the house and be met by unexpected visitors. Now I know when people are arriving. Its' greatest use is when I am not home - it alerts my family to arrivals - that is my piece of mind.
The multiple receivers make the alert coverage easy.

Comments about Chamberlain Wireless Wireless Pedestrian & Vehicle Alert System:

Perfect for my application, I have a gate on side yard with no view from the house, it beeps when anyone enters the yard. I also have a sensor for the driveway that tells me when someone arrives. So far, so good.

Comments about Chamberlain Wireless Wireless Pedestrian & Vehicle Alert System:

Works as advertised in all kinds of Ohio weather. We live back a long lane and have it installed about 300 ft from our house. It worked fine out of the box without any adjustments needed. It is great to be warned when anyone is driving back since we cannot see the lane from inside our house.

Comments about Chamberlain Wireless Wireless Pedestrian & Vehicle Alert System:

The Chamberlien wireless alert system was a secret wish of my mother!
Lucky for me, I learned of her desire for a driveway alarm system just before
Christmas. My brother hooked it up Dec. 26th and it is perfect for giving our
Mom "notice" of any vehicle coming onto the property!.

I LIVE IN A RURAL PART OF NJ. IF YOU CAN BELIEVE THAT ON 8 WOODED ACRES WITH MUCH DEER. I HAD BEEN HAVING PROBLEMS WITH TREASPASSERS EVEN WITH THE PROPERTY WELL POSTED. THE END RESULT WAS THEY WOULD CHASE ALL THE DEER AND TURKEY OUT OF THE PROPERTY EACH YEAR. IT WAS DIFFICULT TO KNOW WHEN THE PEOPLE WERE TREASPASSING UNTIL I BOUGHT 2 OF THESE UNITS AND PLACED THEM IN BETWEEN TREE BRANCHES OVERLOOKING THE TRAILS. WELL THEY DID 2 JOBS. THEY ALERTED ME DURING THE DAY OF THE PRES. OF THE TREASPASSERS AND AT NIGHT ALERTED ME TO THE MOVEMENTS OF THE DEER AND WHICH TRAIL WAS FREQUENTLY BEING USED. THE THINGS WORK GREAT! THEY ARE ABOUT 600 FEET BEHIND THE HOUSE AND NO PROBLEM WITH SIGNAL. ONLY 1 MINOR DRAW BACK. THE ANTENNA FROM THE TRANSMITTERS ARE A LENGTH OF WIRE AND THE WIND BLOWS THE WIRE OVER. I CORRECTED THIS BY GLUING A PLASTIC STRAW ON THE SIDE OF THE UNITS AND PLACED THE WIRE INSIDE THE STRAW. YOU CAN PUT UP TO 4 TRANSMITTERS ON 1 RECEIVER SO DONT BUY COMPL. PACKAGES NORTHERN SELLS JUST THE TRANSMITTER.

works great, does just what i want it to, only thing is if it had a on/ off switch.

Comments about Chamberlain Wireless Wireless Pedestrian & Vehicle Alert System:

tried mounting it different, checked all battery locations it just doesn't seem to perform consistantly sometimes it works fine and sometimes it dosen't. I don't know what else to do to make it work better

Comments about Chamberlain Wireless Wireless Pedestrian & Vehicle Alert System:

We have a driveway that is 250 feet long, we were really excited to get this item because of the long driveway. The only problem we found with this item is when large vehicles go by it detects them. We also find that ants walking on it can also set it off. We brought the item up from the road a few feet and now are having no problem with it detecting the large trucks that go by. We love the warning you get from the products, its so nice to know someone is at your home before they are at your door. This is a great product for the elderly also, we purchased one with my sister to give to our parents and they just love it, it gives them a sense of security because they know now when someone is at their house before they are at their door which use to scare my mom when someone would be standing there and she didn't realize they came up the dirveway.

Thrilled
with the system. Fast installation and works great. Live on a couple of
acres in the country and feel safer now that I know when someone has
turned into the drive. No more surprises

Comments about Chamberlain Wireless Wireless Pedestrian & Vehicle Alert System:

I have a 1100 feet driveway (with no restrictions) and it works just like its suppose to ! No underground cables or wire to run as it is cordless ! I like that . Simple but yet good quailty !

Comments about Chamberlain Wireless Wireless Pedestrian & Vehicle Alert System:

This item was very easy to set up and it works great. The alarm is loud enough to alert me when someone is approaching the house. Since I live upstairs it is very helpful.

Comments about Chamberlain Wireless Wireless Pedestrian & Vehicle Alert System:

I bought this system for my wife who was getting tired of not knowing when someone was driving onto our rurel property. We have had several instances where we would see someone leaving out the driveway and we didn't even know they were there. I installed a transmitter at the mail box and one down by the creek. At first they worked like a charm but as time went on they seemed to lose their effectivness. Sometimes they work great and sometimes they don't. The range is okay for our property. It even works with the reciever in the kitchen where there are several walls between it and the transmitters. We now keep the reciever in the bedroom next to a window facing the transmitters. I have had the system for about two months now.

Comments about Chamberlain Wireless Wireless Pedestrian & Vehicle Alert System:

functions consistently
easy installation
good quality

Comments about Chamberlain Wireless Wireless Pedestrian & Vehicle Alert System:

Exellent Range as advertised, works great with multiple recievers. A little too sensitive at times, but who'd have though birds would sit on top of it and peep into the motion/heat sensor window. All in all an exellent product for the cost. I wish it came with 2 sensors in the original box instead of having to buy each additional individually. Still running on original batteries in sending units after a year.

Comments about Chamberlain Wireless Wireless Pedestrian & Vehicle Alert System:

Pricey, but works just as described, rugged comstruction, and I'm glad to have it. My wife loves company being announced when they hit the top of the driveway. Nice feature is the hookup for a light as part of the notification. Wish the buzzer had a volume control so we could use light only when the kid's asleep.
We have one sensor mounted low so we are advised when the cat has dropped by for some chow.

Comments about Chamberlain Wireless Wireless Pedestrian & Vehicle Alert System:

An excellent product that does what it claims. Have had one for 8 years and just recently added a second one. Would highly recommend this item for security purposes. Great quality and performance for the money.

Comments about Chamberlain Wireless Wireless Pedestrian & Vehicle Alert System:

I have owned 5 different brands of driveway alarms that were nothing but junk or short lived failures. I purchased the Reporter 2 years ago and it has performed as advertised. I am100 percent satisfied and have just ordered another one to replace the first that was accidently broken. (no fault of the unit). The previous brands that I owned did not come close to the quality of this unit. This unit will detect any moving object such as dogs rabbits etc. so false alarms will occur.

Comments about Chamberlain Wireless Wireless Pedestrian & Vehicle Alert System:

My husband and I were used to having a dog that barked when someone came but our current dog only barks at our cows so needed something to alert us when someone drove in. The Reporter works great. Once in awhile it doesn't pick up a vehicle but most of the time it works great. I have the receiver centrally located so I can hear it up or downstairs. At first I had it by an electronic clock and that definitely didn't work. Moved it an its been fine since. My friend is waiting to see how mine works before she gets one.

Comments about Chamberlain Wireless Wireless Pedestrian & Vehicle Alert System:

Nice looking unit. Works fine but it has no where near the advertised 1200 feet range. More like 800 feet. And it must be in a clear line of site nothing blocking you in any way. Would work fine for most people but I really need more distance on mine.

Comments about Chamberlain Wireless Wireless Pedestrian & Vehicle Alert System:

I live pretty far back on our property and love the way that I now have something to alert me that company is on its way. I have recommended this to a couple of our friends. I have tried the cheaper verson but didnot work. I would recommend this to anyone that lives in the country.

Comments about Chamberlain Wireless Wireless Pedestrian & Vehicle Alert System:

First off I am not a man. haha I bought the reporter because we live in the country and never hear anyone pull in the driveway. I have wanted one for a long time. I am very pleased with it so far and several people I have talked to want to purchase one also, I give them your phone number and the information. We installed it in the most center of the house so it can be heard from where ever we are. There have been several neighbors checking it out, although it is not noticeable at all, we chose to tell them about it or they would never know it's there. The reporter has worked very well .

Comments about Chamberlain Wireless Wireless Pedestrian & Vehicle Alert System:

I set up our 2-system on each ends of our "U" shaped driveway approximately 100 yards from the house. It works well, I just needed to add an additional alarm. The original system could not be heard throughout the house.
I picked up a "Piezo" buzzer from Radio Shack and wired it to the external alarm connection on the base. Works great now.
The only bad thing, it did keep going off when a spider decided to try to build a web over the sensor and large trucks driving by sometimes set it off.

Comments about Chamberlain Wireless Wireless Pedestrian & Vehicle Alert System:

It's a wonderful security device, at first it went off on it's own, but after one call to their customer service and we got the settings correct it's been working great

Comments about Chamberlain Wireless Wireless Pedestrian & Vehicle Alert System:

The reporter and extra transmitter are working beautifully. I'm home alone through the day and because we have an unusual home, we're always getting "gawkers" pulling into the driveway which makes me uneasy. We've also had indivduals in the nighttime walk down our driveway (found piles of butts). This is a great addition to our existing alarm system. The 2nd transmitter is behind my husbands barn which is about 600' from the base unit, and it works great.

Comments about Chamberlain Wireless Wireless Pedestrian & Vehicle Alert System:

Nice device. Haven't tried for maximum range yet. I have a long, shared, driveway and I use two near the far end to let me know which way the vehicle is going. First transmitter assigned has one beep and the second one produces 2 beeps. (and so it goes with #3 and #4) This way by paying attention to the beeps I know if they are inbound or out bound. I use a third on private part of the drive too.

Comments about Chamberlain Wireless Wireless Pedestrian & Vehicle Alert System:

I love my alert system when it works. It lets un know when cars and trucks pass by coming into our driveway, although for some reasons it sometimes doesn't pick up cars. I think it may have to do with how fast a car passes by. We have had problems with rain getting inside the unit and shorting out the system. This causes the alarm to continuously beep every few seconds. The rain hood does not work because the rain blows in from the sides. We live in a wet climate and we have to unplug the unit when it rains.

Comments about Chamberlain Wireless Wireless Pedestrian & Vehicle Alert System:

I have read other reviews of this product and was a little bit leery about spending the money for something I wasn't sure would work. However, after being surprised, too many times, by people standing at my door when I'm walking out of the house, I had to do something. I have a very long driveway completely hidden from view by trees. I also have lots of doors on my house so if I'm at one end of the house and somebody is knocking at the door at the other end of the house, I usually don't hear them (my hearing isn't what it used to be). Anyway, I purchased the wireless reporter and two extra transmitters and it works beautifully. It couldn't have been any easier to install (unless somebody else did it for me). I am very happy with this purchase and would recommend it to anyone and everyone.

Comments about Chamberlain Wireless Wireless Pedestrian & Vehicle Alert System:

My transmitter and Receiver came just as described. I installed batteries and screwed the transmitter to a fence post some 600 feet away and I put the receiver on the wall in my house. I now know when somebody walks or drives up my driveway, even before I can see them. Great for when people might be asleep in the house and somebody drives up. Great security device and piece of mind. Receiver even has a set of utility contacts that can be used to operate another device. I used mine to turn on an external light if its activated at night.

Comments about Chamberlain Wireless Wireless Pedestrian & Vehicle Alert System:

My brother had one of these and I was impressed. After requesting one for my birthday, then Christmas, and not getting it, I bought one myself. My husband installed it right away, and we both really appreciate it. We have it about 100 yds from the house, in a curve in our driveway, and not only does it tell me when a vehicle is coming, it also lets me know when our dog has gone past her limit.
I am really glad we have this and would reccomend it to anyone who has a long driveway.

Comments about Chamberlain Wireless Wireless Pedestrian & Vehicle Alert System:

Very few false alarms. i installed it about 150 yards from the receiver and it has never left me down.

Comments about Chamberlain Wireless Wireless Pedestrian & Vehicle Alert System:

This product works very well. Only downfall is how quickly it can go through batteries especially in cold weather.

Comments about Chamberlain Wireless Wireless Pedestrian & Vehicle Alert System:

Bought this for our rural driveway and love it... No more unexpected visitors. Also purchased an extra reporter for the rear of the house. I think it's cool how each reporter has a different beep to distinguish between them when in the house. The one at the rear alerts us to wildlife traffic within viewing of the house......

Comments about Chamberlain Wireless Wireless Pedestrian & Vehicle Alert System:

When it works, it works good but doesnt pick up all vehicles and does pick up some anamils like dogs

Comments about Chamberlain Wireless Wireless Pedestrian & Vehicle Alert System:

I have a 600ft driveway and it works great letting us know when someone is coming up the driveway. Easy to install, is dependable in all weather.
Deer, dogs and even cats will set off the alarm.

Comments about Chamberlain Wireless Wireless Pedestrian & Vehicle Alert System:

I ACTUALLY HAD A CHEAPER VERSION MADE BY ANOTHER MANUFACTURER THAT HAD TO BE POSITIONED VERY CLOSE FOR IT TO WORK . VISITORS WERE ALMOST AT YOUR DOOR BEFORE IT SOUNDED. IF YOU ARE NOT COMPLETELY PREPARED FOR VISITORS , THIS IS A PRETTY HECTIC MOMENT. AFTER BUYING THIS PRODUCT, I HAVE PLENTY OF TIME TO GET PREPARED. IT WORKS SO WELL THAT MY NEIGHBOR WANTED ME TO ORDER HIM ONE, TOO. HE VISITED ME LAST NIGHT AND HE SAID THAT HE AND HIS WIFE LOVED THEIRS ,TOO. I HIGHLY ENDORSE THIS PRODUCT FOR COUNTRY PLACES WHERE YOU HAVE LONG DRIVEWAYS , OBSCURED VISION AND FRIENDLY NEIGHBORS. AN ADDED BONUS IS YOU KNOW VISITORS HAVE ACTUALLY LEFT, WHEN THEY DRIVE OUT.

I purchased this item to use in my pasture where I have goats. It alerts me at night should any dogs enter to chase the goats. It also keeps track of things down there during the day. It is about 700 feet away from the monitor and works great. This is truly a well engineered and built product, not a piece of junk like you get nowadays. It is an excellant value. I would highly recommend it to family and friends.

Comments about Chamberlain Wireless Wireless Pedestrian & Vehicle Alert System:

I recently purchased the reporter driveway alert system. It is advertised to send a signal 1200 ft. The best I could get was 115 feet this was with the reciever being run on a battery and in direct line of sight. I returned it am still waiting for the replacement to try again.

Comments about Chamberlain Wireless Wireless Pedestrian & Vehicle Alert System:

I have this on the light post near my driveway. My house has a side load garage and there is no way to see the driveway. The Reporter is reliable in alerting me that someone or something was entered the driveway. There is a mute button in case the kids are paying out there or whatever. The mute stays on until you press it again.
My only gripe is the alert sound is a harsh buzzer sound when alerting you. I would have preferred a chime or bell, or even better a choice of any of these sounds.
Still it is so helpful with our layout, I would buy it again, buzzer and all.
4 out of 5 stars(due to buzzer sound)

Comments about Chamberlain Wireless Wireless Pedestrian & Vehicle Alert System:

Great! Wireless hookups now at about 300 feet, 2 units with independant sound warnings! Easy to install I would reccomend using the 9Volt "backup" in the receiver as this eliminates "re-training if the power to the receiver goes out.

Comments about Chamberlain Wireless Wireless Pedestrian & Vehicle Alert System:

I use the system to alert us when a vehicle is coming up our long driveway. The system works very well but because ot the size of our 3 floor house I wish I could purchase extra receivers so I could have one on each floor.

Comments about Chamberlain Wireless Wireless Pedestrian & Vehicle Alert System:

I have had this for over a year and I am glad too have it. I have a 100 foot drive way and don't always see the gate but with the reporter I can hear them coming.
SOme times something will set it off like dogs and cats tree limbs,I even had a spider make a home in it.but I know when a dog or cat is in the driveway
the batterys last about three too four months.when it gets stuck which is not very often with the push of a button it's re-set.I have gotten some for my kids house's and they are thankful; for them

For the Price this is a great Deal

Comments about Chamberlain Wireless Wireless Pedestrian & Vehicle Alert System:

works well for about 300 ft or so but not after that

Comments about Chamberlain Wireless Wireless Pedestrian & Vehicle Alert System:

Mechanical sound, easy to install.
Easy to adjust.....everything needed to be idiot proof.

Completely waterproof and tamper proof. Codes are put in place at home station.
What is needed however is an electronic version for those of us who have power at the sensor point. Or redesign with a built in charger that can be plugged in at the sensor point

Comments about Chamberlain Wireless Wireless Pedestrian & Vehicle Alert System:

I have a small instrument repair buisness in a building on my farm. Even with signs, customers go to the wrong building. So the alert lets me know when I have potential customers wandering around. The alert worked very well for about 6 weeks. But, then it began giving lots of false signals. After contacting the company, they had me return the transmitter for repair. It has been gone for about 1 week and I sure miss it. The company assured me that it will be back in operation soon. Hopefully, it will work as well and last longer this time.
