Does the job
We have 2 side access paths to the rear of our property. I did not want to put gates on but the dogs who are now 4 just started to wander to the front where we have an access road. It’s not busy but we do get cars coming down. The alarms we to alert us if the had wandered so had to instal them much lower than the suggested height. They still work fine and have now been in for a month or so. A happy side effect is that the dogs recognise the tone on the alarm box and have now started to self correct. Added bonus. Would buy again. Hope this helps someone
Easy to install
Not had them long enough to know battery life, otherwise easy to install.
Well worth the money
If anything a little too sensitive, so bear In mind when positioning.
Perfect 100% top selle
Great item and will buy from again, very happy 🙂
CHEAP BUT EFFECTIVE
Reluctant at first to purchase a cheaper version. Our last one cost over 300 from FM Electronics which lasted for over 20 years. Moved and brought another one for the same cost and it constantly failed, due to an upgrade, so an alternative product was sought.
I didn’t adjust any settings. I simply installed the sensor one metre above the ground and plugged the receiver in and that was it.
Once screwed on the wooden post, after a couple of days, I adjusted the sensor and tilted it upwards a little, without unscrewing, as the neighbours cat and fox set it off. Now, perfect.
It’s cheap, I am hoping it will last. Purchased the insurance recommended by Amazon for a little over 5 for all risks insurance, so I now have a top of the range insurance backed warranty should it fail after 12 months.
Pretty good overall
I don’t believe the sensor range is as good as it states. Seems to be around 8 meters in my experience but as I had a spare then I can catch the other side of my drive with a different sensor so no big issue. One thing though in is that when on full sensitivity the units do trigger when large or fast vehicles go past even though they are not in line of sight of the sensors so needed to turn down
Just thought i’d update 1 year on. Battery last really well 1 sensor has just run down after 1 year. This is indicated by the receiver constantly producing a tone for the sensor in questio
Best of its type
I have used a number of different ‘gate/ driveway alarm over the years and this is the best by far in terms of build quality, easy of use, and range.
So I wanted a wireless trip solution for in case anyone decided to have a go at stealing my motorbike, this product appeared to solve my problem, and solve it, it did 🙂
It did take some setting up finding out where the PIR beam would break to give me a nice 180 angle of motion detection.
Unfortunately for my application and the angle I needed the units themselves would not pan down enough to cover my bike. I thought about this for a while and decided some brackets for a custom install was the solution.
I went to B&Q got some simple L shaped aluminium brackets and installed them where I needed them.
You get a control box which is battery backed up and also powered by the mains. This was good for me because if a would be thief decided to kill the power to my flat in the middle of the night, which would be easy enough by flipping the switch in my out door electric box, this unit will still function with the batteries I have in it, brilliant!
I have yet to hear the ding-dong of someone getting close to my bike late at night, it will happen but I have a nice aluminium baseball bat next to my front door for when it does 😉
So lots I like about this product, the battery back up, the sensitivity, the LED notification of low battery warning on the control box, however what I don’t like is the colour, I don’t like the fact I had to fabricate brackets at much more cost to fit these, I really don’t like the audible bing-bong tone it makes when triggered, and I am worried about radio frequency radiation from this unit being so close to my head on my bedside table through the night.
In summary, if you want a sensitive, PIR alarm system, for hundred quid, this isn’t bad at all.
Excellent product, excellent customer service.
Arrived next day and working within an hour after topping up the 18650 battery. I only need a 30m range with the receiver in the house, works fine. Also I use this for pest control, turning the volume down having just the red led flash, gives me a chance of dealing with the pest undetected. Customer service answered my questions within a few hours and are easy to deal with. Recommend product in my book, would buy again. As for battery life, too early to tell, but it looks like a decent 18650.
Great product and Awesome Customer Service!
We have a rather long driveway to our house and we spend most of our time in the lounge, which is the room farthest from the driveway. Therefore, we were often not hearing when people would arrive.. which is quite the issue if you’re expecting deliveries and there’s no-where for them to leave them. In addition to our long drive we also live in a cottage built in the 1890’s…which means we have 2-3ft thick stone walls… it’s charming, but pretty much kills most signals from outside coming in. I tried several driveway alarms and wasn’t very impressed… they either didn’t detect very well or if they did, couldn’t transmit for a very far distance and through our thick stone walls.
HOWEVER… this alarm has been brilliant! I have two set up…. one at the far end of the driveway and one a bit closer in with two different alarm sounds… that way, if it’s just a bird or a deer, I’ll only hear alarm 1 or alarm 2… usually never both. If both go off, then I know it’s a car. Furthermore, I have receivers set up in the house and the garage… so we are alerted no matter which location we are at. It offers 4 different distances for detection so it will pick up just what it needs and nothing further, which is great as there is traffic simply driving by at times. I also love that these detectors are re-chargeable although I haven’t had to recharge them since installation, which was done last year, fall of 2020. The receivers run on batteries but do allow for a USB plugin which is convenient… it save my batteries by staying plugged into mains but allows me to unplug and pop it in my pocket if I’m going to be out in the yard or somewhere on the property that wouldn’t allow me to hear someone driving up. I’ve also tested them out as far as sensitivity and they have a great range of detection…it would be very difficult for someone to try and sneak by these guys without being caught!
On top of a great product, HOSMART customer service has been awesome! I wanted to order an additional receiver that was on backorder. It was a several month delay before they were available again (due to COVID), but once they were, I placed an order for 2 more receivers. However, something went wrong and the receivers I bought were not available as expected. Since their site incorrectly allowed me to purchase the 2 receivers when they were not in stock, they apologized and sent me 2 full systems (detectors and receivers) instead! They have great communication and are very quick to respond to issues. I’m looking forward to trying more of their products and I wouldn’t hesitate to purchase from them again!
Appear well designed and constructed, and to justify the higher price.
Only had this for a few days, so can’t yet tell about longevity or battery life – but the sensors are discreet, have good range and appear robust and well-sealed. You can assign each sensor to one of 4 channels by means of internal switches, and each channel has a different tune associated with it that is played by receivers when the sensor is triggered. You can also adjust the sensitivity of each sensor, which should help avoid false alarms. The batteries in the sensors can be recharged without opening the units – which is fortunate, as opening the units will be difficult!
I hope the sensors don’t need recharging too often, and that I can obtain replacement batteries when the supplied ones wear out! It would be nice to have a wider selection of tunes.
Simply Splendid - Buy it!
Do not hesitate to purchase this product. This is a most excellent driveway alarm, which is built to a very high specification and which works extremely effortlessly and reliably over long distances.
In my experience, Hosmart also features a world class customer service team, so you have no worries…..even if Amazon Logistics lets them down, the Hosmart team will save the day!!!
Simply, the best customer experience ever.
