I spent several hours over three days getting two of these to work right. One, over the driveway, I had to use quite a bit of tape to restrict the IR sensor coverage. It appears that the one thing is that it still has a tendancy to kick it off if there is a rapid sunshine to cloudy conditions and this seems to be my only current problem. This cloud cover with the fairly high temperatures right now in late spring is making the IR sensor sensitive. The other sensor which is over a grassy area has no problems and required no tape. Both work excellent at night with no false alarms BUT they pick up the wildlife passing through the yard, which I want for possible night photography and to see if the deer are eating up our plants. We turn them off late at night when we go to bed. For the price they are hard to beat, but to get them working correctly, you need to spend some time with them and that is stated in the instructions.
What a surprise! It’s made in China! This has no sensitivity adjustment and it becomes totally unreliable. Ours kept going off when the sun would come out from behind the clouds so we added masking tape as instructed until their was only a tiny opening remaining down the center. Because we can’t depend on it I am now returning to amazon to shop for a decent model.
First of all, it only costs $13 bucks, don’t expect miracles! That said, I bought one of these 5 years ago and it has been faithfully in service ever since. Generally speaking, it works as expected, but, as people note, it does have some issues. The main one for me is when the wind blows hard. I have to turn it off then because it goes off all the time. The other thing is sometimes, maybe when the battery gets low, it does not go off when someone comes down your driveway, or it only goes off in one direction. I think it has something to do with the angle or speed of the car or person when it hits the beam. If it could recognize birds, cats and squirrels and not go off, that would be great, but, like I said, it has been in use for 5 years and 95% of the time it works as advertised. For $13, if it works, it’s a real bargain, but if it doesn’t, it isn’t that big of a loss. You have to try it for yourself.
I should have paid more attention to the reviews of this driveway patrol sensor and receiver kit! It was shipped promptly and arrived in the time that was estimated. I put fresh batteries in both units and the sensor and receiver worked fine. I checked them again after 30 minutes. The red light on the sensor flashed when I walked in front of it, but there was no alarm. If I actually rubbed my hand across the sensor, the alarm would go off. I replaced the batteries in both units with more fresh batteries. Still, the alarm went off only when I physically touched/rubbed the sensor.
Not that great of an item. It goes off all the time. I have to turn it off at night, before i go to bed. I wouldn’t buy another..
