I have thought about getting a couple of these in the past. My dad using them and have worked well for him. Thanks for sharing Anthony. Be safe out there.
These are a great investment and they work. Thanks for watching.
Thanks for the video! I have been looking for something like this that is wireless. Our power sometimes goes out for days in northern new hampshire. yes I have a generator but wanted something that was wireless. I just ordered three of these!!!! Thanks again!!!
Mine work flawlessly for years now. Excellent trip alarm.
I bought two of these yesterday and work perfect at night
Yes. Great product at a great price. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for the video. Going to add a few of these to my home. They are currently backorder at Harbor Freight so hopefully I can get them soon.
Glad the video helped you. These are a low cost way to help with perimeter security and you can take them with you. Take care.
Very clear instruction. Thank you Anthony.
+Vedard Security Technology Thank you!
Hi, for the price and size it can be part of a bug out bag! We all need sleep to deal with the stress in a SHTF situation and when placed in the proper locations, you can enjoy sleep! Stay safe and enjoy life!
Yes, you can carry in a bug out bag. They would come in very handy in the field. Thanks for watching.
Great explanation! thx
a little tip, if you're trying to hide the sensor, put electrical tape over the red light. I have one of these and a camera in my mudroom and someone tried getting in while I was gone and fiance was home alone. They saw the light and heard the alarm and pulled it off the wall, then ran.
Thanks for your comments.
yup just what i was thinking. i knew that damn light would be a problem.i suppose if its mounted up out of reach it would be ok but could tip a criminal off to run away.
Great presentation, valuable info. Can you get more transmitters separately?
Thanks for this video👍👍
Great Idea Anthony
+Anthony L They work great. Happy New Year!
My husband and I have these at our home and my mothers home...she lives next door. We have had these for a few years and we cannot stand to be without them now. We have one at the beginning of our driveway....one at our back door and one at our garage.
Great info! I am glad to hear other people making good use of these units as they work great. Thanks for watching. Take care.
Thanks much for the video. Good info.
Thanks for watching.
Thank You for the video. I have been thinking about getting these at Home Depot but their price seems to be about $50. You may have just saved me some money.
Thanks for watching. That is much too high a price for the same units. Go with the Harbor Freight units I attached in the link.
excellent video. thanks
Thanks for watching.
I would like to use it to tell me when the paper boy comes while I am still sleeping. I would like to put it where I won't hear it when I'm sleeping. Is there a way to latch it in when an alarm is detected so I know it?
Nice, thanks!
Thanks great video
Thanks for watching.
I took the cover off mine and spray painted it black. Kinda helps when I hide it. But I have had mine for years.
just what I am looking for thank you
Glad video was helpful. Take care.
Great idea for the tent. Do they have a maximum distance that the sensor and alarm can be placed apart? Thanks for the video. Please keep making them. I have learned a great deal from you. So many preppers that I subscribe to are rarely making videos nowadays. Why do you think that is? May God bless you and keep you safe.
They can be placed up to 400 feet apart. Thanks for your support. I am not sure why many Preppers have stopped making videos. They may be taking a break from YT or just want to go off the radar for a while. Could be because of all the government spying on everyone also. That is a big factor. God Bless and Stay Ready.
I have one,and love it. Wanted to get several to put around the property and label then (drive way,side yard,ect.) so I would know where someone was,but they all on the same frequency any ideas
There are other brands that work like you are asking. Different channels.
Thanks Anthony, You provide a lot of very good info this is something I can use. I'm Going to get several of them, 400ft range is what it says I will have to test that, to see if that 400ft range is real world.
Thanks for watching Gary. I still use these.
I have 1 acre, and put one channel for the back yard 3ea units covering the back yard and Large Shop area, they are on a different channel for the Front yard to be able to tell when someone enters my property, they work Great so far, I also bought 3 more for the Rpod, I will mount them under On the frame, you can't see them at walking height, I may even paint them Black, one Pointed at the batteries/Propane tanks one at the spare tire at the back and one at the door. Harbor Freight had them on sale for $11.99ea coupon also I took one apart and noticed that there is a black plastic piece that narrows the beam I wanted to test with it in and removed to see what the beam width spread is, with, vs without, I want to see if I can get a wider angle, it may shorten the range somewhat.
Let me know how this works out.
I have one for my autistic child who gets up at night, but, what I want to know is, how many would I have to buy to cover more than one area? and would I have 3,4,5 alarms going off at night?
Anthony, just subbed. Do you know what kind of distance these allow between sensor and receiver? I have a long driveway with the entrance out of sight of my house. Thanks for the info. I can give them a serious cold weather test up here by the Great Lakes.
+LandseerNorth Thanks for the sub! I am not sure of the exact distance on these units. You would have to test it out. Give them a call directly. Stay Ready!

There are a lot of reviews on their site... And, these things have been on Sale a lot lately.. They Emailed me a Black Friday Coupon bringing these down to $9.99
Richard Lee
Thanks much for the link Richard. I'll be giving these a try.
We have 8 of these through out our 6.5 acre property all working fine. The one at our driveway entrance is 300 yrds away. I opened them all and have extended the antennas to 10 feet, painted them camo, covered the little red light and controlled the aim with black vinyl electrical tape so it doesn't pick up neighbors driving by. We then extended the receiver antenna 2 feet as well.
They are perimeter security guards multiplier. Each receiver speaker has be tweaked or other speakers attached to give different tones which tells us what area the alarm is activated. I'm working on a way to activate some kind of signal if I miss the sound that a visual alert will tell me which receiver was activated, like a flag on a specific receiver. When we purchased these at Harbor Freight we made sure the were all different channels. They offer 8 different channels.
The trick is to add the extensions on the antennas and seal the case so NO water can penetrate. The transmitter battery last about a year then it just stops transmitting. Like I said these make great security guard multipliers...
+Bill B Thanks for the info Bill. I will have to take a trip to Harbor Freight and look for the different channels. Also, where is the antenna?
+biblesnbarbells Dont buy these Units unless you placing them inside a 100 Feet Diameter range....
Mine are not more than 100 feet
Great video man! Do you think that I could use this as a proximity sensor in my vehicle during my cross country trip? Thanks and God b
less you
Thanks for watching. Yes, you would be able to use in your vehicle. Just place the sensors outside the vehicle.
Thanks
Is the sensor weather proof
So the sensor/receivers are 1 to 1 right? If I have 4 sensors, I will have 4 received lined up then in the house?
have you figured this out yet cause i want to get a couple but would like it to be one receiver
I own several of these alarms as well. Currently they often sell for $11.99 on sale! I installed one pointing across the driveway (about 300ft from receiver) attached about 2ft from ground on a 4x4 post that has ac outlet. I have a good size box full of wall transformers so I picked out a couple that matched voltage for both transmitter and receiver (3.5vdc & 9vdc respectively) and used them to supply constant power to both units. Works very good but I need to change the angle on motion detector so small animals don't set it off. Too many false alarms from coyotes, stray dogs, and cats but wild cotton tails are the most active alarm trippers, usually at the crack of dawn!! :-(
Did you put yours outside? I"m thinking about putting one outside my front door and the receiver outside as well to scare away intruders.
Does home depot sell them
Thanks for the video on this! I'm going pick up a couple this week...... good stuff brother
Keep Jesus in your heart!
)
Thanks for watching. These units work great.
Think the sensor could penetrate a screen door? I would mount it on the front of the wooden door if so. I live in apartment so it’s a little more difficult to place outside
I have not tried it, but I think it might.
I wish these had more than 2-4 beeps, like a setting to beep x number of times upon a detection.
nice. Thanks
Thanks for watching Luisa!
hi , the dogs can activate this alarm , ???
Say I bought 4-5 sensors I'm guessing they come with the chime also but if I only wanted to use one chime would all the sensors work with just that one chime? Or are they each separately tuned?
I believe they go with each chime.
there is a sticker on the back of the boxes with the frequency. I do each side of the property with a different frequency and put the receivers on the side of the house (or room) they are covering.
kevin Bloodandsoil NWES each one can cover the 360 degrees mark each one so if one go's off you'll get to understand perimeter.
+Evan Jones exactly! but I choose to put the receivers on the (in)side of the house corresponding to the sensor coverage so I know by the direction of the sound which direction the intrusion is.
Thanks for the tip. I wonder if it works at night in the dark?
Yes.
I have bought three of theses and all of them stop working after shutting unit off. You have to pull all batteries and reinsert them, almost seems like they have to reset. Do you have this issue?
I have not have that problem with mine and I have had them for over 3 years. It sounds like you have a defective unit.
they work great i have several of those around my house, i just made a video today how i made a mounting bracket and rain shield for the transmitter , the rain shield also narrows down the beam to a small location facing my door with no false alarms from cats ect.
Bob N Thanks for watching Bob. I will check out your video. Anthony.
Get on sale plus their 20% off coupon for $7-9 👍🏾
I have the best perimeter defence you can get, and no worries about loss of power. 3 pit bulls notify me any time anything enters the property, day or night, rain, snow sleet, tornado. They never have failed! A ND if anything gets past then there are always guns at the ready 😉
Nice!
Ok well some of us can’t get dogs
did you find the battery worked in the winter?
+readGodsword Don't buy any of these units unless you just wanting to place Receiver and Transmitter close to each other
Mine survived. I 've changed my Batteries one time in a year , I get all I can outta them Energizers lol. Gets cold as shit here n Indianapolis and didn't effect my battery. But just a cheap way to detect anyone pulling up or walking to your door. Not a high tech security system. Cheaper on Ebay though.
readGodsword mine are not close to each other. I have plastidipped 2 to blend in. One black. One army green to mount on a tree.
Dollar Tree has 9 volts 2/$1.
Does your system alert when there is nothing obvious in the sensor perimeter? My goes off when the wind blows...
SBT SBT Sometimes it will do that.
do you know any best out door alarm siren with remote control?
I am not sure about that. Will have to do some research.
kool'thank you
Thanks for watching.
Will it work if the sensor is placed behind the front glass window, i.e. inside the house facing front porch?
Yes.
Thank you.
No I don’t think so. It will not work thru the glass.
Just got one of these... working great for ppl on foot and bikes but not picking up cars at all... wth?
Nice video.
I looked into the link and they have just 1 sensor and 1 alarm now for $14.99 but I wanted to know how can I get more sensors? Possible to use 1 alarm with more than 1 sensor? Thank you.
I think you can do this. There are also some other units on the market now that are more advanced. Check out on Amazon. Take care.
Thanks neighbor..
Thanks for watching my friend.
I have this at my place for over a year now I use it in conjunction with my outside cameras
Thanks for your comments Freddie. These little wireless alerts work great.
No problem I like then a lot
does it work at night?
Yes. Thanks for watching.
what is the range/distance on these sensors and what's the brand?
+EaglesFan4NRA I put the link in the description box. I purchased these at Harbor Freight. I am not sure of the range. Mine have worked p to 50 feet.
thanks
+EaglesFan4NRA Buy a better Unit if you want to get over 100 Ft Range --
a hack for everyone out there... use the free AA batteries coupon at harbor freight and the AA batteries will fill in for C cell on the receiver. You may have to change them a little more often but they are "free".
Thanks for the info!
Needs multiple chime options so you can differentiate between zones.
Thanks for watching and for your comments.
Can the light be covered with duct tape?
No. That is the area where the motion sensor is located.
+TheNewAmericanMedia Yes it can be covered if you are talking about the little red light on the front of the transmitter. AS LONG as you do not cover the sensor area itself you can cover the red light with a small piece of tape. It would be pointless though to cover the red light because it only turns on if the beam is disturbed meaning the intruder will have already set off the alarm before seeing the little red light.
I'm a single woman that lives in an unconventional shed basically and I've taken some security measures are being debts there are some people out there that just have nothing better to do with their time if you know what I mean but what I need to know about a security perimeter sensors are how do you adjust the how sensitive they are I mean if the wind blows are they going to go off let me know thank you
There is another set I just purchased and am testing out that you can adjust the sensitivity. Here is the link: www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00EUWAI9M/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Mam, what are you trying to say? So when someone have a sensor alarm are you saying we don’t have better things to do. No we have the sensor so we can look who is at the door before they knock. I am a single woman I have 2 of those sensor they work very well. I live in a apartment 1000 square ft on the second floor also my iPad video is on and I can see from my kitchen and if the sensor is on I can look at my iPad and see who is that person near my door it gives me an alarm from 30 ft. enough to get my weapon. There’s really a lot monsters out there a lot of them. I live in a very upscale area called Dominion in San Antonio Texas monster comes here too and rob the people in a nice neighborhood. If you live in an unconventional shed then you better get you a sensor alarm or even a weapon if you live in Texas. I love my sensor alarm. I never open my door unless it’s my own blood.
I painted mine camo and have it on a tree. Works great
Works great except sun will set it off and it eats up batteries faster than I was think it would.
Nice. Mine have been set out of the sun and batteries seem to last a long time. I guess it depends how much they go off. Thanks for watching.
I was wondering now if you only have occasional driveway traffic how long you've gotten out of your inside unit and outside unit on one set of batteries I was also wondering is it heat that sets them off or motion I assumed it was Heat since you talked about the Sun the other question I had was I wondered if anyone has tried to make the alarm quieter so that you might be able to use these to alert you to gain movement like if you were in a blind and an animal was going to move behind you good the beeps are awfully loud I was a wondering if there was a way to quiet how loud the chyme is thanks for your time very nice video Simon
I like to add.... these come in 200 ft or 400 ft range.....we like the 400 ft better.
Also...these have numbers of letters on them...when getting more in one try to get different numbers ...ex. 19 or 17....not two of the same unless you want when triggered to sound both alarms off at the same time.
a hack for everyone out there
link doesn't work...
new link www.harborfreight.com/wireless-driveway-alert-system-93068.html
8$ on Ebay free shipping 1 by One.
Thanks!
We call that a driveway alarm.
Yes.
This thing goes off every 30 seconds
Buy one and sensor do not work
That could happen. Did you return?
H
That easily could have been a 30 second video. Damn brother! Way too much flip flop going on.
Thanks for watching.
These will work about 4 months................they are junk
im going well over a year no issues but the sensor is inside a shed
Yours probably only works for 4 months because the battery probably went dead and you didn't change it he says that in the video
I boiught this yesterday and tried it Line of Sight -- it lost the
signal at around 100 feet.... 50 feet shy of where i wanted to mount the
Transmitter..... good thing it was only $17 at Harbor Freight --- now
waiting on a better on from Amazon....I wont be buying any of these cheap things again...
+Kk Andretti Which one did you go with from Amazon?
Ordered the Chamberlain Wirelss Motion Alert this time -- seems to work a lot better. its close to 200 feet away from receiver.. :)
Nice. I will have to look up that one.
Good video, but get to the point, my godyoure long winded
TRUMP 2O20
