Could not install batteries

The screws holding the door for the batteries in the motion detector are too small and too tight to open without damaging the screws. Sending the unit back.

Pros
  • This is a good value
Cons
  • Not suitable for properties with a lot of trees or shrubs as they interfere with the signal range

It's okay for the price

Bought this to replace a much older and failing similar product by Defiant. Used as a door alarm for those packages we'd otherwise not know are there.Works fine, though I'd hoped for a little more range. Maybe I'll have to play with positioning. Hoped the chime had a little louder setting also. And the battery compartment is accessed by the removal of four tiny screws (which is a bit of a nuisance).The default tone is a ding dong chime. Haven't figured out how to set the others, but the default

Pros
  • Really easy to install. Works very well.
Cons
  • Scam, they say 20 feet max. But it doesn't work above 4 feet.

Pros

Good product for my opinion

It has great detection ability. The only problem is the alert system. I followed the directions but it doesn't change. Also wish it was rechargeable instead of disposable batteries.

Pros
  • The device is easy to relocate, allowing users to move it to other areas as needed
Cons
  • Installation requires basic technical knowledge

Works Great For Drive Through

I recently bought this to replace a much more expensive motion alert for our drive through. The sensor was easy to install and getting to the batteries just took a small Phillips head screwdriver. The alert part plugs in only taking up one outlet. There is no setup needed! Our sensor is outside about 15 feet from the indoor unit. It alerts consistently to cars without many false alarms. The best part of this unit is that the bell sound is loud enough to hear but is not super long and annoying…

Pros
  • The system is ideal for both residential and commercial properties
Cons
  • Cannot be used as a standalone security device

Works pretty well, plenty of alarm to choose from.

So far this works well, easy to install. many alarms to choose from 58, almost too many. Even has specialty alarms for specific holidays. Multiple volume levels which is nice. Has a night light but it's confusing cuz it never stays on so not sure the use of it.

Pros
  • Bought for our longer driveway and it works great.
Cons
  • read carefully. door bell, not driveway alarm

Could be louder, but.

I'd hoped for the receivers to provide a louder alert than they do, but each sensor can be paired to multiple receivers, so buying several sets allows placing receivers wherever needed to be audible. Moreover, there are 58 different alert tones, so programming each receiver to tie the same tone to a given sensor means they all play the same unique tone for whatever sensor is activated. Three pairs means three receivers distributed around my house so one is always in earshot; three sensors means

Pros
  • The monitor system included provides users with peace of mind, even when away from home
Cons
  • May not be loud enough to alert a sleeping household

Good product: my feedback

Works great from pretty far awayOnly thing setup was horrible instructions not good at all took some time to figure it outBut working great after installation

Pros
  • If you need a remote motion detector, this is the one. Highly recommend.
Cons
  • Sensitive to false alarms triggered by small animals moving on the property

Now I can tell which alarm sensor is being triggered!

This was my second "NEW: system the 1st I returned because you could only have on sensor/alarm sound, and I returned it.This system seems well made.and was easy to set up.1. Plug Alarm Base in.2. Install batteries in the sensor.3. Select the alarm sound you like and hold the "Volume button" until it beeps and flashes and that is it other than mounting it.The booklet/instructions are too small for most to read, but all else was fine and it works as quoted and if it lasts 4 years like my old…

Pros
  • Up to 58 Receivers/Sensors Expandable: Bistee wireless receivers and motion sensors can be paired with each other up to 58, with 58 beautiful tones and 5 volume levels to choose from. The motion sensor is configured with IP44 waterproof, so it can work for you even if it is placed outdoors in the wind and rain. Once purchased, it has a 1-year warranty, any customer complaints, please contact us through the order, thank you!
Cons
  • No inbuilt tamper detection system to prevent theft

Great Alarm. for my opinion

Ok I've had other driveway monitors, and this one works surprisingly well for the price! I've had no false alarms and has a lot of different chime tones to choose from. I had no problem figuring out how to use it. Discovered the features almost by accident. Have the sensor approximately a football field length from the receiver. The only thing I noticed is the batteries will be kind of a pain to change. You have to unscrew the back panel and remove it to get to them.

Pros
  • The long-range capabilities allow for monitoring even over large properties
Cons
  • Cannot distinguish between human motion and vehicle traffic

Didn't work - my new review

This worked when you wabed your hand in front of it but not when yoi walk past it 5 ft away. the ad said 15-20 ft I was hoping to use this is my driveway to be alerted when cars pull in. I bought it using my bank account but when I returned it the money was put onto an amazon gift card NOT back into my bank account where it came from frustrating.

Pros
  • The wireless system makes installation and set up a breeze
Cons
  • Reliability decreases when the battery level becomes low

Absolute junk good for me

They were installed correctly, the unit that was placed next to the mailbox near the road watching the driveway works if the car is pulling in close enough to put mail in the mailbox but not if it's in the center of the driveway which is 3 ft further away from the mailbox then the mailman drives. I can walk next to the one at the front door and if I wave my hand within feet of it it will go off but not if I'm more than three feet away. Just junk

Pros
  • Security & Surveillance
Cons
  • Wireless construction can create interference with other electronics in the vicinity

Could not pair on my review.

Everything looked great. Open them up, took them out of the box set the monitor batteries in the alarm part both worked individual. But could not get them to sync together to work. So would not recommend getting.

Pros
  • 💌Please contact Bistee After-Sale through ORDER once you need!
Cons
  • Requires batteries, which need to be routinely changed, making it less convenient than wired systems

A Good Product for a Reasonable Price

We have had some local burglaries so I bought this driveway alarm as an extra bit of security. So far it works fine. Installation of the battery-powered outdoor sensor is easy, but the volume and selection on the inside plug-in chime are a bit tricky to maneuver and when I moved it from one outlet to another it reset. Not a real problem, only a minor bother, and you have to turn the sound back up. The signal from the sensor to the indoors chime is fine (almost sixty feet in my use), but the…

Pros
  • 20 Feet Wide Motion Monitoring Range: Combined with customer complaints of this type of product, we have adjusted the monitoring range of the microwave infrared sensor to reduce false alarms caused by long-distance falling leaves/small animals/sunlight or wind or temperature changes. When a signal is detected in the working state induction area, a red light will flash to indicate 1S, and a wireless signal of 1S-433.92MHZ will be transmitted, so that you will not miss any visitor.
Cons
  • Can only be used for outdoor installations, not suitable for indoor use

Has good features and some annoying issues.

Ok, so first up the good. The range from sensor to station is legit. I have the sensor mounted on a post at the front of my property and the base in my home officer at the back. My house has steel siding and the signal sounds off loud and clear.Now the 'meh': The base station buttons on mine are different (reversed) from what's shown in the videos. The sensor has a real range of about 18ft (4m) in the sun.The bad: I've tried more than a dozen times to change the sound using the video…

Pros
  • The sleek, modern design of the device looks great on any property
Cons
  • Limited lifespan and will eventually need replacement

Saved me thousands of dollars in tools

I purchased this product after my work van had been broken into. I used this product as a motion detector by putting it inside the van is setting up the alert to go off in my bedroom. At around 4:30 in the morning the alert sounded. I was able to get up and catch the thief before he was able to completely get into my van and steal everything. This was some of the best money I’ve ever spent.

Pros
  • The wireless system reduces the risk of tampering or interference from outside sources
Cons
  • Service warranties may be insufficient and not cover damages caused by natural disasters
