Tools and Hardware Reviews of Chamberlain RWA-300R Wireless Alert System
Customer Review: Okay for the price and a few let downs as well.
Summary: 3 Stars
Product was easy to install but has a few draw backs.
I am not quite sure of the 900' advertised range unless it is directly line of sight with no obstructions.
Both the transmitter and the receiver are very cheaply built. I am concerned about how long the transmitter will survive Indiana outside as their is no weather seal or protection inside the cheap plastic housing.
The receiver has a generic sounding buzzer and the volume is non-adjustable.
Overall it will get the job done but it feel's like something I would expect to get from Billy Mays @ $19.99 with a free tube of mighty putty!

I purchased the wireless driveway alarm and an extra sensor for my husband for Christmas. We have a fairly long driveway with obstructions from view inside our house and did not know when someone would be entering our property. This item has been wonderful! We mounted the sensor on a tree 1/2 way down our driveway and an extra sensor that I had also ordered and mounted it above a garage door which is right next to our entryway. The first sensor beeps once to alert us of an incoming vehicle and the second sensor beeps twice to alert us that someone is coming to our entry door. We are very pleased with the wireless REPORTER driveway sensor!Customer Review: Very Poor Range

I had one of these and returned it. I set it up about 700 feet from my house and it wouldn't go off. They say the range is 900 feet. I removed the sensor and walked toward the house stopping every few feet and setting off the sensor with my hand while my wife listened for the alarm. I know the sensor went off because the green light on the sensor flashed. I had to get within 30 feet of the window where the base station was before the alarm would go off. This was with brand new batteries in the remote unit. My house has wooden studs and wooden window frames so it wasn't metal blocking the signal. I'm sorry but it just didn't work for me.Customer Review: Great alarm! Peace of mind!!!

I have my business in front of our home. About a month ago someone pulled into my shop's parking lot (while we were at our home) and stole our dog, (who is our life). Thanks to many prayers, we found her the next day. When I am in my shop, I can hear when someone pulls up. But in my home, I can't. One of my customers told me about this driveway alarm. Now anytime someone pulls in our driveway, the alarm buzzes in our home. This is wonderful for security!! And also for those customers that come after hours or on weekends!! The Chamberlain alert system gives us peace of mind knowing that no one can sneak up to our property again!!!Customer Review: Effective, easy to install and use

The Reporter Wireless Alert System was easy to install and works flawlessly. We use it to provide an alert when cars enter our long driveway. I connected the output on the receiver to the doorbell feature in our home intercom, so now the "side door" signal rings throughout the house when someone enters the library. The only challenge has been playing with the sensitivity settings on the sensor/transmitter to minimize false alarms -- presumably mostly from deer. The distance between transmitter (at the end of the driveway) and the receiver (in the attic) is about 75 yards, and there is no problem with the wireless signal.
