Have been using one with motion sensers for a few years.
Great range, no falses, and the relay output is great for hooking up an external siren. I replace the batteries twice a year. No problems with the unit. |

A little late to the party, but buy it. I have 3 they all work very well.

I bought one for my parents' place, the probe is about 300yd through the woods from the house and it works just fine.
New 9v every 6 months. Only issue is that with a wider driveway, you may not pick up some vehicles if they are far to the opposite side. My parents have a wide gravel driveway,and if I hug the far ditch with my 350z, it won't go off. Not an issue with paved or gated driveways. |

Did you bury the probe legnth ways across or in line with the road? Any reason you couldn't bury a probe on each side of a wide road and connect it to the same transmitter ? |

Parallel, as per the instructions. And I'm not sure if dual sensors would create interference. Just stick a pole or bush on the opposite side of the driveway to keep them near the probe 
Their new models run off of 4 CR123As instead of a single 9v. |

Can vouch for them too- I have it and use with the small PR-2500 portable receivers. On a wide driveway, you can install one on each side and set it to same channel as the first one so you have a guaranteed alert. You can also bury other units elsewhere (i.e. two entrances), and the receiver will let you know which one was tripped. Receivers support up to 4 zones. Installed about 6 months ago and has been working without hiccup. |

I live on the IL/WI border. Gets down to -35 sometimes. No problem, even through a foot of snow.
