Tools and Hardware Reviews of Chamberlain PIR2-300S Sensor for Reporter Wireless Alert System
Customer Review: Hasn't worked yet
Summary: 1 Stars
Works great in the house. Mounted 200ft out in my yard it has yet to work despite my efforts to reposition it for better reception.Customer Review: Unmitigated piece of crap
Summary: 1 Stars
I am returning this replacement sensor today. It does not have the transmission range of the original sensor, and it will not trigger outside of the sensor test mode -- sensor test button pressed. Do not waste any of your life on this time vampire. It does not work. Customer Review: should be a people sensor not driveway cars get buy almost every time!
Summary: 3 Stars
The company gladly sent out a new one when I complained but the sensor has a hard time with cars but gets people fine. They said to adjust height and angle. I am still trying.Customer Review: Limitations...
Summary: 4 Stars
The range of detection and transmition are both well below expectations based on what is advertised, but still usable within some limitations. Customer Review: Not as advertised
Summary: 2 Stars
On 1/6/08 I purchased a Chamberlain Wireless alert system with a Receiver.
I installed the receiver in my den and the PIR sensor outside about 120ft from the receiver. The unit worked pretty much as advertised. It is important to note both this receiver and PIR sensor had 12 inch antennas.
On 1/14/09 I ordered three additional PIR sensors. I installed these units the same distance from the receiver as the original PIR sensor. None of the three new sensors could communicate with the receiver. I took the receiver outside and placed it on my lower rear deck. The distance between the PIR sensors, all four, and the receiver was now less than 100 feet. Now the receiver worked with all four PIR sensors. The three new PIR sensors had 6 inch antennas. I tryed making the three new PIR sensors antennas 12 inches long to see if this would correct the problem. It did not. Nothing I tryed would allow the receiver to receive a signal from the three new PIR sensors once the receiver was placed inside my house. My lower rear deck is accessed via my master bedroom. Putting the receiver inside my master bedroom, less than 100 feet from the three new PIR sensors, didn't work either. I've had to leave the receiver in a water proof compartment on my lower rear deck with the antenna exposed to get all four PIR sensors to work.
Maybe the 1,200ft range is a miss print and it should read less than
120ft.
