Tools and Hardware Reviews of Chamberlain PIR2-300S Sensor for Reporter Wireless Alert System
Customer Review: Reporter #2
Summary: 4 Stars
This the second Reporter Transmitter I have in use. The only problem I have with them is in the winter , the batteries will not support them due to cold (20 F & lower) weather. If they put a jack for a external lead acid battery (which can operate to -40 F) they will be able to operate here in Vermont all year. Otherwise they are Great.Customer Review: Excellent Range!
Summary: 5 Stars
The sensor that came with my original Reporter kit has been giving me great service from several hundred feet away through several walls. Being happy with that one, I ordered an addition PIR sensor from Amazon. I've had it a month now and am totally happy with it. I placed it near the entrance to my long, curving driveway that's surrounded by huge boulders. It is approximately 450 feet from the base unit in my house. That driveway sensor has successfully reported every car and pedestrian visitor since I installed it. It has also reported an occassional coyote walking down my driveway. I'm OK with that because I try to nail them in the a$$ with a marble from my wrist rocket as payback for killing my cat.Customer Review: Good product overall
Summary: 4 Stars
I have used this product for about 2 months. It is easy to setup and it is fairly small. It does a very good job of detecting motion pretty much 100% of the time. But the main unit receives the signal about 95% of the time and obviously does not alert you when it does not get the signal. So for me this unit alerts me 95% of the time when there is movement and I think I have only gotten about 5 false alerts from leaves or animals so I consider this product a good buy for the price.Customer Review: reporter

We have a horseshoe driveway, Put a sensor in each driveway, aprox. 75 ft. from the house. The receiver is aprox. 30 ft. further in the house.
The unit works great. No minuses, the Reporter has my recommendation.
Customer Review: The best driveway alarm available!
Summary: 5 Stars
The alarm works great... I've had mine for over three years. The recent order was for two additional transmitters (sensors). I have the transmitter hid 8 feet up in a tree approximately 700 feet from the receiver. I do get false-alarms from raccoons and other small animals. It is a hassle to replace the batteries, requiring the removal of four small Phillips screws but since the first batteries lasted almost three years, why worry! I do suggest replacing the Phillips screws with regular hex-head screws.
