Review on 🚧 Jobar International Driveway Patrol RET3731 by Knate Scarpelli

I live in the country, I like it when someone comes to my house. I bought this to use as a driveway alarm for when cars pull into my driveway and I can be ready. I've been using it for about 3 months and it does the job. When it works it's great, when it doesn't work you suddenly hear a knock on the door and wonder why the alarm didn't go off. I placed the sensor in a waist-high tree about 4 feet from the curb facing the roadway. The sensor appears to pick up movement at an angle of around 180 degrees and at around 12 to 15 feet away. The sensor uses 9V and the receiver uses C batteries, and the receiver can be plugged into a 110V outlet, but the plug was not included and I'm not sure where to get one. The receiver has a red LED indicator that lights up when the alarm goes off. The alarm has a high/low/off setting. The sensor has a small red LED on the front that lights up when motion is detected and sends a signal to the receiver to mute the sound. On high settings the alarm clock is quite loud, it wakes me up and I sleep like a log. The sound it makes is exactly the same as your local fast food joint, bing bong.bing bong. I placed an audible alarm receiver in my window in line with the sensor about 150 feet away. I noticed that if the audio receiver isn't visible from the sensor, it doesn't pick it up. If I moved the sensor to the middle of my room or any other spot where there was no clear shot coming from a window or door, the alarm didn't work, it didn't get a signal from the receiver. My main complaint is that when it rains, drops of water get stuck on the sensor lens and it doesn't record anything. I have noticed that in the morning with heavy morning dew or some condensation on the sensor lens, no movement is detected and no alarm is triggered. The lens itself collects water so it blocks movement and takes several hours to dry and function properly. I thought this might be used outdoors as it is 'driveway' signaling and driveways are outdoors, but apparently this is not designed for outdoor use. I'm sure if I added a little cover like a roof over the sensor to prevent rain from getting on the sensor it would help, but then again if this product is advertised as an outdoor sensor I wouldn't need to. All in all this product is ok. If it works it's very helpful, but I'll try different options to troubleshoot wet sensor issues. I would also like to find a longer range sensor and will consider those as well. I hope this helped.
