    1byone Wireless Home Security Driveway Alarm, 1 Plug-in Receiver and 1 PIR Motion Sensor Detector Weatherproof Alert System Kit, 36 Melodies to Choose

    • We are not using this item as a doorbell, but actually using the unit to deter sparrows from nesting in a particular location - we have the chime portion mounted outdoors and can press the button to scare away the undesired birds when we see them thinking about nesting in the bluebirds' box.
    • Very sensitive unit, even a squirrel or leaves blowing will set it off, which depending on your needs could be good or bad.
    • Unit works well, mounted about 3 feet off the ground and facing down my driveway, about 60 feet from the inside receiver
    • anyone know of a good unit that works outside from the git go?
    • Now I have my main plug-in doorbell by my front door and this useful, portable unit in my conservatory
    • It seemed to work at first with some false alarms in there but after a week or so the unit quit working.
    • a day;).The unit does work, well, at night, when it isn't affected by the wind
    • a day;).The unit does work, well, at night, when it isn't affected by the wind
    • The sounder unit looks quite smart and comes with a stand
    • It doesn't t work good in the driveway because every time the sun goes in and out the unit goes off not good for outside
    • At night the unit is put on the blinking light thanks to the deer who walk past it at night and sets it off
    • This would be a better unit with battery back up.
    • and as this unit doesn’t plug into the mains its very economical to use
    • but once I had mastered it, its tight and secure and the unit stands on my desk, or bedside table, or kitchen counter and looks very nice indeed
    • This unit works well and is an inexpensive method of giving one a heads-up when someone is approaching down a long driveway
    • I used it successfully for 6 months when it had a problem, but 1byone Customer Service was excellent in helping me and even sent me a replacement unit free of charge once we determined that was needed.
    • The unit has not failed to operate as advertised since its installation
    • This unit is very loud on the highest volume setting so particularly good if you have any trouble hearing a bell
    • Unit is protected from the wind, so it's not actual physical motion
    • Both units seemed to work great when we got them placed the first night.
    • I don't know if I just got a bad unit, or not, but was unable to successfully communicate with the manufacturer, so I chose to return it to Amazon.
    • Tested the unit closer and it worked fine as well as checked the outlet that I was plugging it
    • I HAVE A DEFECTIVE UNIT
    • Easy to use, just plug the main unit inside, and place the sensor anywhere you want it to sense motion.
    • So, overall, the unit works well, but I wish there were more short notification tones to choose from.
    • I liked the fact that this unit has a variety of sounds, volume, and flashing light
    • Also, compared to other motion detection alarm that I have evaluated, IMO, I find the 1byone unit offers more flexibility and option in terms of volume control and tunes; the sensor is quite portable with decent range, so I can move it to various location as needed.
    • The unit was easy to assemble, though I might suggest that the sellers have someone with a better knowledge of English proofread some of the instructions.
    • I mounted it high enough, thinking it would not pick up animals but this unit is very sensitive
    • and so on … this is invaluable to me already, I’ve been carrying it around all day, up and down stairs, even to the bathroom, its great!The push button unit has a rubber ‘waterproof’ button (sensible as it rains a lot here) and it states in the instructions that the battery in it will last 12 - 14 months
    • I got a response back from this seller and we realized my unit was bad and they refunded me the
    • unit is way too sensitive.
    • Previous alarm was made by this company & both units used batteries and worked great for a long time so felt OK when ordered.
    • Only con if you losing power U loose connection with transmitter [just relearn the unit with transmitter], but would still buy it again!I use it so I can close back door during winter , when it chimes to let dogs in
    • They always work for a few minutes then one unit stops working
    • I finally broke down and bought a more expensive unit (from Amazon) that is made in North America) and it works wonderful.
    • This unit is VERY sensitive.
    • This new unit is great
    • I highly recommend this unit!
    • This unit only worked a few days before stopping to work properly
    • this unit gives you regarding the chimes
    • ok I disposed of the box and othedr items and the unit started alarming all of the time I REPAIRED the units relocated the transmitter to 4 different locations it still alarms I would definatly not purchase one of these units if I really needed one to work
    • I could not find any place I could put the sensors that the units did not produce false alarms.
    • This is a easy to operate and well designed unit.- battery operated- good volume range with three settings and the top setting is a nice and loud 85 dB- as well as the sound it also can be set to flash, or flash without the sound
    • I am going with a more expensive, better built, and longer distance unit.
    • At this point, I would recommend this unit over the Chamberlin, but I have only had it for a month....
    • and then then the units themselves would die.
    • This is a great unit
    • Remote unit is too sensitive for most environments outdoors.
    • Great unit, the only issue I have with this is that it is so sensitive that when it is windy outside, or if it detects a leaf, bird or any small object, it goes off... sometimes over and over
    • there are LOTS of chimes to choose from, the first one is just a standard ding-dong style, but the rest are all more jazzy tunes!A good value unit that is easy to operate and gives lots of options
    • replaced it with a much more costly unit and it was worth the difference.
    • One unit didn't work at all
    • This unit only worked a few days before stopping to work properly
    • Yet, the same unit will work 100% and very reliable in my home
    • the unit that plugs into the wall just quit working for no reason.
    • u wont be disappointed
    • Doesn't seem to drain batteries quickly (I *really* appreciate not having to deal with changing batteries frequently...)
