Review on ๐Ÿ”” Dakota Alert MURS Alert Transmitter (MAT) - Battery Operated PIR Motion Sensor with Telescopic Antenna - Enhancing Multi Use Radio Service by Richard Edwar

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Flexible temperature or security change detection at an affordable price

See how well it works. So far, so good. The transmitter is a bit large and difficult to hide. But it can withstand rain and other outdoor elements. I have not used it in heavy rain or snow for review. Looks like you can setup your own power option instead of using 6 AA batteries. The TX can detect basic movement, which I can call attention to and look at the Wi-Fi camera for instant verification. It works and best of all: no usage fees. The applications are wide-ranging. I took it to my car dealer and he noticed movement. I then move the TX to my front door, car seat, passenger seat, tailgate, etc. This is especially useful for remote camping or other solo work when you need to know who or what is behind or near you. RX is always on my belt and I can be alerted if a sensitive area breach occurs. TX must be in direct line of sight. The city's settlement will have a limited range. I tried to go 3,000 feet but there was no range. All in all a very useful detection for temporary and changing scenarios. Has easily adjustable jumpers for detection range. 2 mounting holes on the black housing, which can be locked with a combination wire lock in the housing if it is stolen by passers-by or a criminal. It is not possible to operate the transmitter in a fully vertical position. Should be on the side because of the cover. I will still buy a few TXs for full perimeter coverage despite the limitations.

Cons
  • Quick guide
