Question: will a cat or dog set it off outside?
Document: if there is no wind it works ok... or if a bird, dog or cat doesn't go in front of it...it works ok... but it works too well when these things happen. Have to turn it off as it gets so annoying.
I have to say I was a bit skeptical, but it does do what they say and I'm glad I have one! Depending on where you place the sensor, you may catch the movement of occasional cat or dog (or maybe one of the local varments). One drawback is the red led that illuminates when it senses movement but it is easily covered with dark tape if you like. Great product!
Rufus is a neighbors dog who wanders from time to time and apparently he loves cat food as well.I'd recommend this product to anyone that wants to be alerted to someone entering a certain part of their property, back porch, etc. My only con to it would be that I wish you could turn down the number of ding dongs but we do plan on buying a few more of these for other locations on the property.
Today, the temperature is a solid - 5 degrees BELOW ZERO. Both the cat and I were happy that the unit functioned so well. Even at this extreme temperature he wanted out, he just didn't stay out long. I was greatful that I didn't have to open my outside doors numerous times to let him in.
I purchased this unit two months ago for the sole purpose of letting me know when the cat was ready to come in. I found a used power supply in my junk drawer that eliminated the need for a supply of C batteries as described by another reviewer. Also, following the leads of prior owners, I taped the lense of the alarm to focus on a tight area of the doorstep to cutdown on false alarms and found a container to shield the outside unit from moisture.
So, if you have a dog that won't bark when it wants out... This is a Godsend!I mounted it by the door on an old bookend. Placed on the floor.Now we know when the little stain maker needs to go outside. :)
We use this to help train our dog going into her dog run to do her business. She gets a treat when she does. She has to go through two doggy doors to get into her run, so sometimes she tries a shortcut and pees in the garage. Now, she can't fool us and is learning that treats come only when she makes it outside into her run.The unit rings a chime when triggered. No problem on range - about 70 feet through many walls and a cabinet. Works great.
I got the Driveway Patrol kit to use as an alert to let me know when my cats wanted to come inside. I set it up at the front door at cat height and after a few adjustments to narrow the range so that it only picked up the cats when they were right at the door, everything was great - but only for about 2 weeks. Then the alert went off and wouldn't stop.
I can't believe people complain about it being "too sensitive". I would think they'd rather have it too sensitive than not sensitive enough. I, too, had to put tape on it. It does ring loud. Better than too soft. And of course birds and rabbits and stray cats are going to set it off. It cannot tell the difference between YOUR cat and the neighbors, or, for that matter, a prowler. It's just not that high tech. Duh.
This is one of the ones of this type of monitor. I have several bout at various places and have not always been happy with the less expensive ones in local stores. I found this one here and it is my old buddy. I suggest be wary and thoughtful of the mounting location as I have found squirrels, the neighbors climbing cat, and even roadway traffic can set one off. They have quite a range of distance.
Answer: Definitely.   Even movement from leaves of nearby trees or bushes; it is non-discriminatory so it recognizes ALL movement.   I hid mine in a birdhouse with a wide "entry."   Man that thing went crazy.   The birds were furious and tried to get into their house.   There is no need to hide it, but I liked it so much  I didn't want it to go missing.  It is so reliable even in freezing temperatures.  I even have a spare, cannot live without a driveway patrol.
