(More customer reviews)We needed a driveway alert for the house to advise us of visitors. Tried the "motion detector" type using passive infrared technology, only to have wandering night time animals, wind, leaves, etc., constantly set it off. The STI sensor is a "magnetic field disturbance" type of device. A car, motorcycle, bicycle, or something with a sufficient metal mass is needed to signal an alert. (I did drive my wife nuts one day using a wheelbarrow by it). It took me several attempts to get the sensor in the perfect place. I suggest you don't install a permanent post until you find that spot. If you follow the directions to a "T" you may get it right the first time... i.e. a vehicle should not pass between the sensor & receiver location(s). (Yes you can have several receivers). I like the option of manual and/or automatic reset, visual as well as audible alerts of the receiver. There is silence mode for the times you don't want it to sound an audible alert.
The receiver instructions are at times confusing when programing units to communicate with each other... not difficult, but again they must be followed exactly or you'll get frustrated. Overall I am very pleased with the unit and its operation. I gave it 4 stars not 5 because of the instructions, which could be written more clearly for us less "techie" people and the battery only operation of the sensor. It would be nice to have the option of a weatherproof transformer to plug the sensor into an outdoor outlet.
Not perfect, but a whole lot better than an air hose across the driveway, or placing a signal wire underground and definitely an option to those "motion detector" types that give a lot of false signals. A good buy for the money!
