    Customers like the range of the surveillance system. For example, they say it has an excellent range, is able to send a signal over 400 feet to the base station, and is perfect for long driveways.

    "...Love them and totally recommend them! Able to send a signal over 400 ft to the base station ...." Read more

    Customers are satisfied with the communication capabilities of the surveillance system. They mention that the voice signal is strong and clear, with excellent transmitting ability. The product has a good range of reception and two-way communication ability. Customers also like the new female voice and the fact that it never fails to give off a signal.

    25 customers mention14 positive11 negative

    Customers are mixed about the quality of the surveillance system. Some mention it's very reliable, well made, and holds up pretty well. However, others say that it has not provided the quality needed, the transmitters are not of equivalent quality, and are cheaply made.

    "I have been using these sensors for about 14 years. They have been fairly reliable and perhaps the best there is available for the application...." Read more

    "...Not cheap, but you get what you pay for." Read more

    "...Overall, it's a solid addition to my Dakota system...." Read more

    18 customers mention11 positive7 negative

    Customers are mixed about the alert. Some mention it's a great product, useful for temporary and changing scenarios, and has easy to adjust jumpers for detection range. However, others say that it has a tendency to false alarm. They say the default settings gave them an unacceptable number of false alarms, and it alarms far too often when there's no reason. Customers also say that the product is not dependable as a warning device.

    "...Overall a very useful detection for temporary and changing scenarios. Has easy to adjust jumpers for detection range...." Read more

    "...way in and leaves the connector subject to oxidation, and the tendency to false alarm if you aren't aware or experienced in aiming it." Read more

    "...It is good for detecting people, animals and cars but I think I will augment my security with a magnetic sensor that will confirm vehicles coming..." Read more

    "...Very good detection performance with slightly lower incidence of false alarms than I expected with a detector of this type...." Read more

    25 customers mention6 positive19 negative

    Customers are dissatisfied with the battery life of the surveillance system. They mention that the AA batteries do not last that long, and they have had two of these units fail within one year. The biggest problem is how quickly it uses up batteries. The unit still works but has 15 years of wear and tear, and needs a bit of TLC before being put back. Limited current from poor batteries will result in impaired performance.

    "...The original unit still works but has 15 years of wear and tear, needs a bit of TLC before being put back out...." Read more

    "I have 5 of these units and over time components have naturally gone bad, but their tech team was very responsive and helpful in getting the fixes..." Read more

    "...The range is excellent, and so far the battery life has been great. I wish you could change the voice up a bit and use more than 4 zones...." Read more

    "...The rest of that power is wasted in the antenna. Dakota Alert should have used a thin flexible 1/4 wave whip antenna instead...." Read more

    11 customers mention3 positive8 negative

    Customers are dissatisfied with the water resistance of the surveillance system. They mention that the pull out antenna will not keep out water, there was a water intrusion issue, and the entire unit filled completely with water. The SMA connector leaves a leakage path for rain water, and an antenna entrance can leak water.

    "...The entire unit filled completely with water. If it hadn't fallen off the mount (my fault) I"m sure it would still be fine...." Read more

    "...Also, the antenna (which telescopes) tends to fill with water when it rains as well...." Read more

    "...The case is water resistant and snaps in place...." Read more

    "...The only negative issue I have experienced was a water intrusion issue in a unit that had been in service outdoors for years...." Read more

    Fast Ship, Good Price, Known Product
    This device works the way previous ones have, with some experimentation required in location and orientation to pick up desired movement and avoid false alarms. The voice signal is strong and clear, and is capable of up to 4 "zones" to differentiate up to 4 transmitters. Downside: The furnished "duck" antenna doesn't screw down flush on the SMA connector, leaving a leakage path for rain water. I had to seal the gap with coaxial cable sealant, or the first rain would have started trouble. (L) Gap under connector, with antenna threaded in completely; (R) Gap sealed with coaxial cable sealant.
