Easy to add to an existing system

I've had a powerful Mule Alarm for a number of years and love it. No false alarms from animals or children playing in the garden. Works only for cars entering the area. I bought this second sensor so I can have one on each floor of the house to get notifications. Works perfectly

Pros
  • Great for a small home
Cons
  • Not bad

Definitely recommend! This is my salvation!

I have a main store and a semi-circular driveway so I have one of these sensor bases at each end of the driveway. He always lets me know when someone is coming or going. It works great and never gives me false positives! It has a volume control so you can decide how loud you want and it lasts a long time. I had one for 8 years before it needed replacing!

Pros
  • Good product for the price
Cons
  • Upgrade available

Silent Vehicle Approach Alarm: Works great.

Easy to install and works perfectly with a very working scope. The fact that the critters don't set off these alarms is tremendous as I live in 'hives' on 23 acres teeming with deer, rabbits, raccoons etc. I now get a clear audible indication that a car is approaching. long driveway long before I can see it. This alarm is great value for money and I highly recommend it.

Pros
  • GOLS certified
Cons
  • Much

Good for small areas but not loud enough for large areas.

The manufacturer thinks outside the box. The receiver signal is not loud enough for a medium sized house. Also, if you need two alarms, there is no way to change the sound of the alarm. Adding versatility to signal units will give customers a better experience. The manufacturer should also consider offering a repeater module to relay the alarm to distant recipients.

Pros
  • Robust design
Cons
  • The list will be long.

A product that works as advertised!

I love our Mighty Mule proximity sensor. We have a long driveway and before I installed this we never knew if someone was going to arrive until they rang our door or just left a package. Now we have advance notice of the arrival of the car. Setup was very easy and I had to set the sensitivity to its lowest setting due to false signals when trucks passed 75ft parallel to the road on the road. Now it works great, it's been over a year and the batteries haven't had to be changed yet. Excellent…

Pros
  • Price
Cons
  • Functionality

I recommend buying.

Love it! My mother has had it for many years and it has helped her very well. I chose one as well since I work from home. This works very well. I bought two more receivers to have one in the great room, one in my home office and one outside on our covered patio. The only reason I didn't give it five stars was because I'm not sure if he picked up a service rep in a smaller truck, but that might be my rumor and not the one before. The alarm clock is really loud, but can be set.

Pros
  • Great for outdoor activities
Cons
  • Mostly good but...

Very reliable. False alarms are a minor annoyance.

Overall this is a great system. I have an alarm clock in my bedroom window which is on the side of the alarm clock (not opposite) about 100 feet away. The second alarm is in an exit window in the basement, also next to the antenna, about 50 feet from the transmitter. Both work great. We have a driveway 100 feet from a busy street and we didn't always know when someone was moving in. I installed the alarm above ground (not buried) about 40 feet off the road, so it might have something to do with

Pros
  • Sturdy finish
Cons
  • Exterior

Customer support is completely useless.

Block no longer works. Waited 10 or 15 minutes to speak to someone. They will replace it, I need to email to confirm purchase. No big deal bought through Revain should be easy. Then I was told to call back. My question is why can't I get an email address and email it. We walked around in circles for over 5 minutes and he told me he couldn't wait for me to find him. It took me a minute total to find evidence, but it would have taken longer to write down or type his email address. He could ask…

Pros
  • Brings joy
Cons
  • Exchange option
