Tools and Hardware Reviews of Chamberlain PIR2-300S Sensor for Reporter Wireless Alert System
Customer Review: A new company? and a product that won't work, minus 1 *
Summary: 1 Stars
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)Customer Review: Crap

I bought this because a friend's daughter had one and she liked it. I must have been sent a dud because try as I might I couldn't get the system to work. It kept beeping no matter where it was placed. On top of that, it's all plastic with a flimsy wire that's supposed to act as a signal - give me a break. I'd like to know how the unit will continue to work properly after being exposed to icy temperatures and freezing rain - there's no way that the batteries will continue to function. Maybe I should have had it replaced but I didn't. I'm just glad that I got my money back.Customer Review: Great Gadget

We have four of these sensors around our property and love them.
We've had none of the issues other people have reported and we've had our for almost a year.
We have one on our driveway to tell us when guests arrive and when the mailman is here.
The others protect the sides and back of the house.
We even gave these as gifts to family members and they love them too. Only a couple of times do they report them going off without anyone being present.
These are a great and inexpensive item for piece of mind.
Customer Review: Piece of junk

Hasn't worked a single time since I put it by the driveway. I have had this make alarm before and they worked fine but not this one. I called the manufacturer and they told me there could be no trees, bushes,had to be able to throw a ball from the receiver to the transmitter for it to operate properly. The sales info says it is good up to 900 feet, I don't know anyone that can throw a ball 900 feet, that's 3 football fields. Their reason was they were forced to shorten the antenna by some government regulation. Reguardless it doesn't work!Customer Review: Making it smarter
Summary: 5 Stars
I've had this unit for about a year and it works very well to detect folks coming up my long driveway. I'm still on my first set of used batteries. My only problem is false alarms from deer at night and other "little forest creatures". I've decided to get a second transmitter and place it further up the drive. It's unlikely that a deer would trip both alerts, at least not as quickly as a car would, so only the proper sequence of alerts will indicate a real visitor. Either alert alone is just another deer.
