Driveway Patrol
I sure thought that this item was going to work. It works, but shadows, sun, anything sets it off, and its quite unreliable.I received my monies back, and for that I was pleased. If truly needing a driveway alert, and american made, I suggest [...].

Driveway sensor
After using this product for one year the lens is faded and obscured and is not sensitive to motion any longer. Batteries wear down quickly.

Great wireless alarm -- except when the temp is over 90 degrees!
UPDATE OF MY REVIEW DUE TO JULY 2006 HEAT WAVE: I have two of these low-cost alarms set up, and both become quite intermittent when the temperature reaches 90 degrees and above (in the shade): Sometimes they go off when a person/car goes past, and sometimes they do not. As soon as the temperature decreases though, they become much more reliable. I WOULD NOT RECOMENDED THESE DEVICES FOR SECTIONS OF THE COUNTRY WITH HOT WEATHER, SUCH AS ARIZONA, TEXAS, NEW MEXICO, ETC. Original review: I am very impressed with this alarm: It is accurately able to detect people coming up the stairs of my apartment, and sets off the indoor alarm -- and it has not sent out any false alarms (Most problems with this alarm (that I have read in the reviews below) appear to be caused by the sensor being in direct sun light. This seems to cause these units numerous difficulties, and should have been addressed in the Patrol Sensor's enclosed instructions -- but isn't. However, by simply shielding the outdoor sensor from all *direct* contact with the light of the sun by using tape or opaque plastic, or repositioning the outdoor sensor, appears to eliminate false alarms or no alarms). This alarm unit appears to be quite well made, and the price is, of course, incredibly low. Great buy!!

excellent product
I must preface this by saying I only use these alarms inside my house. As a single woman with a limited income, these are the best security (besides my German Shepard) devices I could ever buy. I have 2 Driveway Patrols in my house and have had them several years. It is easy to hang them on a wall (by the front and back doors, high enough that pets can walk by and the alarm does not go off) but low enough to detect a person. I only turn them on at night. They work perfectly, I have never had one problem with either. They help me sleep much better at night!

Has worked well for me for 2 yrs now
very inexpensive way to let me know someone has entered our driveway area. I live in the country and have a long driveway, I placed this sensor near my garage and it tells me when someone enters our driveway either by car, bike, or foot. I was worried that it wouldnt work as advertised due to the cheap price, but it has done well. Only reason why I do not give it 5 stars is that it does go off on windy days when a nearby tree moves in the wind.

Driveway Patrol a bust!
DO NOT BUY THIS ITEM FROM "AS SEEN ON TV GUYS"! After two months the sensor quit working and is therefore useless. Of course their warranty is for one month. They suggest you contact the manufacturer but do not give you any way to do so. This item is a waste of your $17 (shipping too!)
