eMACROS Solar Wireless Driveway Alarm — 1/2 Mile Long Range Motion Sensor for Long Driveways, Homes & Large Properties, Outdoor Weatherproof Security Alert System(1 Base Station with 2 Sensors)

Works well - easy and quick setup and install.

Purchased this item for peace of mind. My driveway is about 1000 feet long and through a wooded area so knowing when someone enters the property is a necessity. I was a bit skeptical at first, but this unit performs flawlessly. I installed one sensor at the gate and another halfway up the drive in order to rule out triggering by the many deer on the property. If you need to know when someone arrives this unit will do the trick. Super easy to install and set up.

These work great and have much better range than others i've tried over the years. My furthest sensor is about 400 feet from the base station that's inside the house and reception is reliable. I also purchased an additional kit just for the extra base station so I can also hear the alerys in the house. Works well. But... The company changed the design completely and there is no indication of that in the description. If you have existing eMacros units, this new one is not compatible. My older sensor failed so I wanted to order a replacement from Amazon. I looked up my previous purchase on the Amazon dashboard and chose "Buy Again" and purchased but the one I received is 100% incompatible with my existing units. There is no indication in the product description this is a different product. 1. The new unit has a USB-C charging port, not Micro-USB like the previous version. So my existing hard-wired power setup has to be re-done. 2. The older sensors will not pair with the new base station making them useless with the new product (or vice-versa). They must have changed the frequency. So I have to buy all new to get the same functionality. 3. The mounting bracket has been changed and is different than the old model. 4. The new alert is a combined recorded voice and tone, in English only. If you don't want the voice alert and just the tone, you are out of luck. 5. The new unit does not have battery backup (which is important for me--our power goes out frequently). No power, no alarm. That means you can't carry the base station out into the yard to aim and test the sensors. That's a major limitation. 6. Despite the rubber cover on the bottom, the sensors are not rain-proof *at all*. If you decide to purchase, be sure to mount the sensor where it will not get wet (rain, sprinklers, dew). It will fail fairly quickly. I would buy again but wish the company made the changes to the design very clear in the product description.

These work great, I put them up at my 94 yo aunts house along her long driveway. She loves it. Second time I have purchased these.

I waited to do testing on these before I left a comment. I've had three of them in operation for a while now and am very pleased. I even put one inside of my welding shop (metal building), about 75 yards from my home, about 6 feet from a south facing window and even that one keeps fully charged and is working perfectly. I have them set on medium sensitivity. Great product! (Follow-up) I have had these in operation for 7 or 8 months now and they still work perfectly! I have recommended these to several of my friends. Excellent product!

I bought a set of 3 motion detectors and 1 receiving station - (and “later” an additional motion detector) - because I was dissatisfied with “previous” motion detectors (which I bought -– from the hardware store - for a price of – approximately - 10 dollar).When „testing“ the „set of 3 motion detectors (And „later“ I bought an additional motion detector) - I made a "big" mistake - because I didn't immediately watch the video about „pairing“ (= Connecting the motion detectors with receiving station). The motion detectors „from the set“ were already connected „(paired“) to the receiving unit – by „seller“. For „connecting“ the additional motion detector with receiving station - you must follow the seller's instructions from the video. The "connecting" (= „PAIRING“) worked differently "here" - than I suspected at the "beginning" of my test (So - when I didn't see the video yet). I have at home (from another seller) a „humidity receiver unit“ und 5 „humidity sensors“ – which are „paired“ with 433 Mhz - too. If I restart my „humidity receiver unit“ - then it "automatically" searches for the humidity sensors. I “mistakenly” assumed that the „motion detector receiving unit“ - “automatically” searches for the motion detectors (“after a restart” of receiving unit). However, you must (especially if you buy an additional motion detector) "follow" the "instructions" in the video - because otherwise the motion detector cannot be connected to the receiving station. That's why I suspected - that the motion detector wasn't working (or is not „compatible“). Luckily, the seller helped me quickly with this matter - via email. Here was the solution to my „problem“: I pressed the button for a long time - until all the indicator lights start flashing. The “additional” motion detector must first be switched off. If all the control lights on the receiving unit flash - then you have to select the "wanted" channel. And only then is the (additional) motion detector “connected” to the receiving station. It was of course my "fault" - that I didn't watch the video immediately. So far - (as mentioned above) I have often bought motion detectors ("without radio waves") in hardware stores. And here are my “previous” experiences - with these detectors from hardware stores: I have (in the past) already tested a few ("rather" very cheap = approx. 10 dollars each) motion detectors "without radio transmission" ("from the DIY store") in the "outdoor area". And unfortunately (very many) - especially cheap - "infra-red motion detectors" often had difficulties working "properly". Either no alarm was reported - even though a car or a person was moving in front of the motion detector. Or too many "completely wrong" alarms were reported - i.e. "nothing" moved in front of the sensor, etc.... So I was very nicely surprised - when I "finally" bought an infrared motion detector set from „this“ seller - which ("roughly estimated") - works for me 95% to 99% - really "correctly". Of course I made sure - that there are no branches of trees (Or something "similar") - in the "sensor detection range" - because ("probably") - even with this motion detector - the danger could increase - that error alarms will appear. So far - it is the "best" infrared motion detector (At a rather „reasonable price“) for me - which I have tried in the "outdoor area". P.S.: There is also a receiving unit - which works with 4 AA batteries (or mains connection = POWER SUPPLY: AC 120 Volt/DC 5 Volt. Or you buy a receiving unit - which you “only” operate with a mains connection (=POWER SUPPLY: AC 120 Volt/DC 5 Volt). Personally, I always connect a ("charged") power bank when I want to "test" the receiving station outdoors. Because the seller reacted so "quickly" to my "problem" - I decided - to "design" my "FEEDBACK" a little more detailed.

Pretty simple setup. Bought just receiver,my fault. Ordered a transmitter and came the next day. 80 yards is our distance from gate to receiver.

I've had these alarms up for 2 weeks and so far they are doing their job and seem to be holding up to winter weather. I had pairing issues when initially setting the sensors up with the base. It took some trial and error to get the chimes I assigned for each alarm to stay permanently. I would pair a sensor and move on to a second only to have the first sensor assigned chime change on its own and I had to start again. This happened several times and I could not remedy it. I did a work around and got the chimes how I wanted them. I mounted the sensors and they worked for several days, then the chimes changed again on their own. Not sure why. Then out of the blue, they went back to what I had assigned. Pretty annoying. Other than that, things are working as they should. One note I would make is the base does not have a battery backup and only works when plugged into an outlet. These alarms do not seem to have the capacity to work when there is a power outtage. I consider that a negative. The range seems pretty good. My furthest sensor is 200 yards from the base and senses well. I think these alarms will work well as long as they dont get water inside like other models I have used. Those didn't last, so hopefully the better design of these Emacros will be more effective.
