    Mighty Mule Wireless Driveway Alarm (FM231)

    • Wish I had paid more and gotten a better system.
    • After some research, we chose the Mighty Mule Driveway Alarm because it seems to be favorably rated and is certainly the most reasonably-priced magnetic system available.
    • Last year I bought I far more expensive system from a similar competitor and it died a few months later.
    • I heartily recommend this system to anyone who needs to monitor comings & goings on you driveway!!!
    • Now looking for a more reliable driveway alert system.
    • We cannot see them until they are in our front yard, a situation that begged for a reliable alerting system.
    • We really like this alarm system
    • Now those f*$@ing gophers can’t get to our driveway alarm...as for our plants😢.Great,cheap, alarm system, just be
    • no animal interference (only one bear looking for grubs) the best non false alarm system I can recommend.
    • The burden of creating a solid alert system has been shifted from the manufacturer, who knew how and used to make it right, to the buyer
    • our two small yappy dogs learned really quick that the alarm meant someone was coming and they set up a deafening racket for the next 30 seconds or so (backup alarm system!).Very good system; happy we finally got it.
    • I purchased 2 Mighty Mule driveway alert systems, one for each end of a circular driveway.
    • If the system is working, the green light will be on when you check the receiver
    • The "Mighty Mule" system was well worth the insignificant increase in
    • I previously bought a cheaper system (motion Detecter) that went off by itself frequently due to animals, wind and anything that moved and as a result made it ineffective
    • It is less tans 200' from the transmitter to the receiver and unfortunately the system is 'hit or miss'
    • I purchased this last Dec hoping to have a reliable warning system for cars coming up the driveway.
    • For the best system I believe you need an optical type sensor with a light beam acoss the path of interest

    • no animal interference (only one bear looking for grubs) the best non false alarm system I can recommend.
    • She just took out the new receiver, replaced it with the old one sent the system back to the company as damaged
    • Now our system works great no false alarms from animals or children.
    • , we're out in the woods with a deer population that would render an IR system useless
    • Buy a GOOD camera system instead is my advice
    • Also, the system should last much longer while protected from the elements
    • The system works and it does detect moving cars, but if your driveway is more than 150 feet long, this is not a workable product
    • Great alarm system.
    • I had tried the PIR (passive infrared) systems and they were always going off when the sun hit them or a squirrel decided to play around them
    • Absolutely love this system
    • This can be a 100% reliable system if you stay within range
    • Good system.
    • If you're looking for a reliable driveway alarm system.............keep looking.
    • The system works OK, but the alert volume is very low, and cannot be heard outside the room.
    • The system works fine, its easy to install, simple instructions, but the audible sound is NOT a chim, its a high pitch tone!

    • Now our system works great no false alarms from animals or children.
    • The passive infrared (PIR) systems we used in the past were less than 100% effective at detecting vehicles (more like an iffy 60%)
    • This device works even in our rocky soil ( site of a Revolutionary War Iron Foundry) but if it hadn't, it would have been my siting, not the system's problem -- you cannot change the laws of physics
    • The system now works as designed
    • There have beeen Z_E_R_O errors with weather, darkness or animals
