Reliabilty / Quality Control Problems
I am on my third transmitter in less than a year. The first one worked for almost 10-months. The second one worked about 2-weeks. The first one failed by becoming "blind" it will not trip the PIR sensor under any conditions. The second unit failed when the transmit range was suddenly reduced to about 25-feet. Both of the failed units were clean and dry inside, no sign of rain/water infiltration. Really a shame, because the system works great when it is working.

Within 1000 ft. range but no sound
I have placed the sensor at the beginning of my drive way. The distance from there to the receiver is probably around 325 ft and it isn't picking up any movement. I'm very disappointed. I do not have anywhere else to place the sensor while keeping in concealed.

Turkeys Beware!
For the money it can't be beat. We live in a rural area and our driveway is 800' and curved; so we can't see the gate. I placed the reporter 75' inside our gate and we no longer are surprised by guests wanted or unwanted. The only false alarms have been wild turkeys crossing from one pasture to the other. I had no trouble setting it up. I fastened it to the post 4' high and angled across drive, passed in front of it to test and that was all I had to do. The alarm is loud enough and can be placed anywhere in the house. Hope this helps. Doug

Woks as advertised
We installed The Reporter Driveway alarm approximately 800 feet from the receiver. There is a 45 degree curve in the driveway where we mounted it. We have been very pleased with how well it works. It detects vehicles coming and leaving the driveway. My wife runs a business out of the house and it is great for giving us a warning when someone is coming. I can also keep tabs on when the kids and their friends are coming and going. We followed directions to set it up, and it has worked great. It has been in use for about 2 months, and we are very satisfied.

Could be better
It works but could be more advanced,the receiver should give a flashing light for several min after alarm given.Reason: if you are not in room when alarm comes in you missed it! The transmitter should be weather proofed better with rubber O rings and have better range. This could be a very good system if Chamberlain would take the time to improve rather than waiting for an overseas product to do it right. COME ON GUYS GET OFF YOUR BEHINDS AND IMPROVE IT!
