Tools and Hardware Reviews of Chamberlain RWA-300R Wireless Alert System
Customer Review: defective item
Summary: 1 Stars
I had to return this item.
The sensor would only pick up movement in a three foot range which is completely unsuitable for alert purposes
Customer Review: Works as advertised
Summary: 4 Stars
Product has been up and running for several weeks. Works as advertised. I was concerned about the range from the previous reviews, however, this does not seem to be an issue. The base station is located in the house behind several walls (no direct line of sight) and works just fine, and the sensor is 150' down the drive.Customer Review: Wouldn't recommend it
Summary: 1 Stars
The only place I could get this to work was if I had the transmitter and receiver in the same room. I placed them about 300 feet apart and never could get it to work. I have already sent it back. Had to spend a little more but got one that really works good at a lot farther distance. I was a little skeptical when I opened the box when I received the Chamberlain and seen how cheap it looked. Definitely a bad choice.Customer Review: everyone was correct, this item has changed
Summary: 1 Stars
I've had a reporter since '04. Worked flawlessly at 300' through window. Had the lexan cover/ lens crack due to UV. Took a gamble since many folks did say since chamberlain took over the range diminished. And they are correct. Same distance and this new unit won't pick it up reliably. Ended up taking the circuit board out of the old one and placing it in the new housing.
Wish I could find a true electronics guy to discern the difference between the 2 boards. They are identical in size and lay out- just the new range-challenged unit has less diodes in places.
My next purchase will be a Dakota or rodann unit. Shame on chamberlain- ruined a perfectly good product again.
Customer Review: Wireless Alert System
Summary: 5 Stars
It works very well. It gives a real sense of security and was easy to
set up. Does not pick up deer or turkey so it is not annoying! We
are very happy with this roadway protection. Would recommend to anyone
in an isolated area.
