Three Detection ModesThe exclusive Detection Mode feature allows you to control when the Yard Enforcer is activated. You can use them only during daylight hours, or, for protection 24/7, select the ‘always on’ mode. Only want to protect the yard at night so it doesn’t spray human visitors during the day? The ‘night only’ mode will do just that. | Expandable Spray ZoneThe Yard Enforcer has the ability to increase the water enforcement area by connecting additional impact sprinklers (sold separately), via the dual flow-through ports controlled by the valve. Another option is to increase the protected zone with additional Enforcers that can be linked together through the flow-through outlet. | Superior CoverageThe powerful infrared sensor can detect intruders from up to 40 feet away and has a wide viewing angle of 120 degrees, that’s 1600 square feet of protective coverage from a single unit. |

One Smart SensorThe Yard Enforcer has a passive infrared motion sensor that detects animals from up to 40 feet away, even at night, to give you maximum protection, and its intelligent sensing technology learns the difference between animals and tree limbs blowing in the wind to prevent overwatering. | Adjustable Line of SightPosition the sensor and sprinkler in the direction of where the pest enters the yard to chase them away before they reach the plants and landscaping you are protecting. The sensor unit can be angled down for smaller animals, or angled up for larger animals and birds. | Doubles as a SprinklerThe Yard Enforcer has a 30-minute watering cycle that enables it to function as a timed sprinkler. Protect the yard without the hassle of having to switch out the Enforcers for a sprinkler every time the lawn or garden needs watering. |

This works good for what I needed it for. I only wish the range of vision was better. It’s supposed to, but it seemed like it only worked if the intruder was right in front of it.

For some strange reason, despite the literally hundreds of acres of slough, river, creek bank, etc... surrounding us, the raccoons had decided to use our yard as a bathroom after eating food from our orchard trees! I tried several other deterrents not wanting to spend the money - none of them worked - until this sprinkler. Putting the sprinkler together and setting it up were easy as they were fortunately only pooping in one area in the yard. Our well water pressure is very high, so I had to keep the faucet turned down so as to avoid breaking the sprinkler, but even at about 1/8 turn the pressure is great and enough to stop the raccoons. The sprinkler appears sturdy despite many plastic parts and I figure it should last several seasons. The motion sensor works from a wide distance and the reach of the sprinkler is impressive as well. If/when this one breaks, I will be purchasing another one just in case they ever come back.

Let me start off by saying I have bought a TON of these types of things. Cheaper versions - tops blew off. Light or sound sensors - neighbor cats just strolled on by it. But this one.... Scared the cat and only sprayed it with water! So worth the money if yard critters are an issue! The sensor is very sensitive = catches all movement, even from plants. Still worth it!

Worked good for 2 years
Completely repelled deer from a high volume deer pathway area for about 2 years, then stopped working. Changed batteries, cleaned terminals, no help. now does not function at all – won’t turn on valve although I hear a slight click. No way to get inside to repair it.
Construction is sturdy and couplings held up OK.. Tripod is essential, don’t waste money on the stanchion model. Price has gone up substantially.
Tip – adjust it so it will hit the deer square in the chest. you can see heavy tracks where they pivot and run back from it. Yes it works.
Decent quality, keeps the deer away from the small bushes but I wish it was less fragile. It's easily damaged by the deer striking it when they get startled by the sprinkler. Too bad because it works well.

100% Effective
100% effective for the area that it’s in. I have it set up on my back deck Which is 16
X 30 feet . My neighbor has 16 cats and climbing They keep having litters. I have a large backyard 45 feet by a 130 feet I will be buying At least 2 more to cover my whole backyard Not cheap but far superior to any other sprayer I’ve purchased. Me and my wife love to garden so it’s well worth it for us. I do recommend quick disconnects for the garden hose. I used Regular Dora cell batteries And they’re still working almost 4 months later I am very happy with this product no buyers remorse.
I give this 4 stars so far. Machine is well built, has some nice features and adjustments a d does seem to detect squirrels. I modded the gadget as shown to spray up as well to keep climbing varmints moving along. It easily finds me when approaching but I’ve seen our 45lb pooch walk pretty close without activating it, even with the distance set to max. I’d rather it make false detections vs less detections and I turned the intelligent sensing off so it doesn’t reduce time between activations.
I recently purchased the Orbit 62100 Yard Enforcer Motion-Activated Sprinkler and have had some time to test it out. This sprinkler offers day and night detection modes and has been a game-changer for my yard.
As a dog owner (Luna, a Belgian Malinois and German Shepherd mix), I was looking for a way to protect certain areas of my garden. The motion-activated feature caught my eye, and I must say, it works impressively well.
Pros
1. Effective Motion Detection: The sprinkler reacts promptly to movement, ensuring no unwanted animals enter the protected area.
2. Day & Night Modes: The ability to choose between detection modes adds flexibility and ensures round-the-clock protection.
3. Easy Installation: Setting it up was a breeze, and the adjustable range made it suitable for different parts of my yard.
Cons:
1. Sensitivity Adjustment: Although the motion detection is impressive, I did face some challenges in fine-tuning the sensitivity. It occasionally triggered when Luna was nearby, even in areas where I didn’t want it to.
2. Water Consumption: Be mindful of the water usage if you set it to a high sensitivity level, as it can consume more water than expected.
Overall, the Orbit 62100 Yard Enforcer is a valuable addition to my garden, helping to protect delicate plants and keep unwanted visitors at bay. With some minor adjustments, it could be perfect. I’d recommend this to fellow dog owners or anyone looking for an intelligent watering solution.
I sent back the first yard enforcer, as it worked for 20 mins then stopped working. I sent it back and exchanged it for a 2nd one. The 2nd one did not work, was barely putting out water stream. I hooked up my standard yard sprinkler and noticed it didn’t have the water pressure to have high sprinkle. A friend came over and checked hose connections. There was a clod of dirt trash at the end of my standard sprinkler. He removed it, I hooked up yard enforcer and BAM! It started working! Eureka! So happy!
I love possums, and normally am delighted to have them around because the snails and roaches disappear. But recently I had a possum who delighted in digging up my front flower beds while ignoring the snails in the back yard. The nerve. I tried many things.
Mothballs absolutely do NOT work. Forget about that.
A large Unicorn birthday balloon anchored in the main flower bed worked while she patrolled. The Unicorn had been just floating around one evening and seemed to want to follow me when I was walking the dogs, so I brought her home and stationed her in the garden, where her bobbing bizzarreness did deter the possum. But then the little boy whose birthday she had escaped from spotted her, and she had to go back to her original home. The possum came back.
Then I borrowed a cage trap from a friend, and after several nights I finally caught the possum! It looked so pathetic… and its jaw looked wounded from trying to get out of the trap … and what if it was a mama with babies? So I let her go.
The horrible experience of being trapped did NOT deter the possum from returning. And finally I found the Yard Defender and hooked it up. Finally!! I really works. I can testify to that having been soaked on 6 occasions. (I keep coming back because I live here.) First, I forgot it was there and I could not take the shortcut from my car to the front door. Then I didn’t realize that it is set when the sun is just sort of low — that is a big flaw, IMO, because that’s the time I’d like to be sitting out there enjoying the fading afternoon and the sunset. So that situation is one that’ll catch you. When you trip the motion sensor, it also has an infrared sensor to make sure you are a critter and not just a branch moving in the wind, so it doesn’t go off until you are almost on top of it. No escape.
But I don’t care, this is the solution that finally convinced the possum that my yard was off-limits. And I’m quick-drying.
I have purchased this sprinkler before. It lasted exactly one season. So I tried another brand of motion-activated sprinkler this year – the Hoont Cobra Cat Repeller. It’s okay – although the plastic is super cheap. But what makes this water-repeller superior is TWO things:
1) you can mount the sensor closer to the ground with a special bracket that is provided.
2) in addition, the sensor can be tilted upward and downward – so you really get some height accuracy. I really needed to get close to the ground because these groundhogs are sneaky.
That said, I have a love/hate relationship with this thing:
1) I have no idea when, where, and how it detects motion. Sometimes I think it can only detect about 2 feet away and then other days it’s 5 to 8 feet. It definitely has never detected 40 feet, as advertised.
2) So I am constantly moving this thing b/c it has to be super close to the target or it’s pointless.
3) I set up cameras – or I wouldn’t even have this much info.
4) There is a lot of guesswork involved. Thank goodness for Youtube which clearly stated how to set this thing up AND move the sensor location to the bottom.
5) You have to angle the sprinkler at a 45-degree angle downward so it sprays closer to the ground WHILE articulating the sensor upward (so it’s not pointing at the ground). Yet another riddle.
6) You get super wet and it takes hours to figure this stuff out and it still has random sensitivity and costs BIG BUCKS for said inefficiency.
So, like I said, love/hate. I purchased 2. I think I’ll return the second one as the sprinkler head gurgles out water, unlike the laser-sharp accuracy of the first one.
All of this work leaves me very meh-sigh-ho-hum on this product. If the groundhogs weren’t annoying me so much, I would just pass on this product, have a beer, and let them eat the stupid flowers.
Love/hate, out.
it can be used for multiple things such as a toy for your kids and to water your garden. The cat or bird will never come again.

This little gadget really works. I got it to scare away the possums and other creatures out of my front lawn at night. The use of this little gadget for a couple of weeks have kept the animals at by and digging in my neighbors yard. In addition the gadget got two of my neighbors that were pooping their dogs in my yard as well. great I highly recommend.....

As many suburbanites are, I am suffering from deer eating my flowers and shrubs. I've tried fences, mesh coverings, scents, motion lights, etc. Nothing has been effective when hostas and hydrangeas are involved. I've seen these motion detection sprinklers advertised as a solution for years, but it seemed like just another good idea that would not be effective in reality. But I tried it anyway. I got this model because it has at least a setting on it so that it is not on except night. That keeps visitors and ourselves from being squirted every time we walk by it. The less expensive versions do not have this feature. It is fairly good, but I would prefer and actual timer on it so that I could schedule the on and off times. I think it comes on too early at sundown, right when I like to exercise my dogs near the flower beds that the device guards. My solution to this problem has been to put a water timer on the supply line that does have a clock so that it now has to be dark and the water supply turned on before it operates. Finding a water timer that lets you set it for open for twelve hours after 6:30 PM was not easy, but I did find one. I installed the system at the end of June. It is now early October. We have not had a deer problem during that time. I have security cameras (Blink) that monitor the area. Before the sprinkler we got pictures of deer nearly every night. Now all I have seen are cats, raccoons, and armadillos. I bought two more sprinklers and am working on expanding my protected area.

Sturdy no leaks kind of disappointed on reaction time to the pests that I have however I am pleased on how it seems to track the pest through the yard deterring them away

Last year we had a real problem with deer eating our flowers. My wife works so hard to nurture her garden babies. Then the deer come like thieves in the night and rub the bark off our aspens and eat all the yummy plants. Then I got this motion activated sprinkler. We call it our sprinkler with an attitude! Whenever you get in the area at night, get ready to get wet! It kept the critters out of our garden all summer. However, now that it’s autumn and the deer are moving during the day, they are sneaking in when the sprinkler is asleep. You can set it up to work during the day too, but that requires some dancing around if you forget it’s on. Bottom line- it is well worth it if you have a critter intrusion in your garden.

I like the versatility it offers for large or small animal deterrence. I also like the ability to add more satellite sprinklers. But you need more motion sensing for greater coverage.

Well, I still have tomatos
This product is excellent at preventing deer from entering your front yard garden. It is also excellent for inciting side splitting laughter from your neighbors as you repeatedly forget it is on, and walk into your yard only to be immediately drenched in 5,000 gallons of water. As an added bonus, the night setting allows the timing of the sprinkler activation to start at a surprisingly different time each evening. It is guaranteed to keep both uninvited friends and parents with alzheimers out of your garden. It also might cause you to experience PTSD like symptoms any time you step on grass at night.
Over all, I would 100% buy it again. Because A) deer are now afraid of me B) I got to listen to a phone call from my best friend who drove home naked after becoming drenched while trying to eat a tomato from my garden when I wasn’t home and C) army crawling through my bushes at night to avoid the sprinkler is exhilarating.
Rat getting blasted!! I gave it 4 stars because I would like it to be more sensitive than the highest sensitivity setting. Does seem to be doing it's job. The instruction manual that comes with it need a lot of work. Wound up watching youtube videos to learn how to operate.

Piece that screws in to adjust spray broke off and I can't get the rest of it out. Directions to set up for small animals vs large animals are unclear but we figured it out. Still adjusting to find motion detection at a distance. Overall sturdy parts and works well. Just need a replacement sprinkler head.
