 The best product of its type July 17, 2007

I've purchased other motion sensor chime alert devices, and this seems to be the best of the bunch, although it's also the most expensive. The system is very configurable, with several volume settings and different chime sounds ("ding-dong" etc, not irritating buzzing or beeps). The receiver also has a display which shows which sensors were recently triggered.
The sensors are rugged and can be configured to detect motion in a wide fan pattern, or in a narrow, long-range pattern. I've had two sensors set up in my backyard for over 2 years now, and they're still working on the original batteries, in the heat and cold.
If you want a cheaper, more bare-bones setup, you might also consider the RWA300R Reporter, which is also reliable but not quite as fancy as this.

Have the same unit for the last 4 years works great replaced the battery twice and is an outside driveway hanging on a tree. Have also have 2 sensors on this unit, very easy to distingish bonging and easy to configure. Works from a good distance actually had the main unit over the neighbor's home while we were building the home to keep and eye on the comings and goings. Worked Great and ordering one for my parents.

Almost not 5 stars, but great support pushed it over July 26, 2009

I bought this sensor + chimebox bundle and another sensor. Easy to set up and worked fine from the first day. After a very weeks, I noticed that I was no longer getting signals from one of the sensors. I changed the battery but the unit was just dead. It had been installed in the shade, out of the rain under a screened porch so it wasn't subjected to any abuse, and the other sensor continued to work fine.
My problem was that I had thrown away the shipping info/receipt and couldn't recall where I had purchased it. I figured I would have to eat the cost of a replacement, but after calling the "contact us" number on the Optex US corporate site I eventually got referred to a support rep who gave me an RMA to send it in for replacement. Since the corporate site supports dealers and resellers, not residential end users like me, I thought this was above and beyond. So I would downgrade the product for having a sensor fail so quickly, but am very pleased at the customer service I received from an office that doesn't officially do end-user support.
NB - at this writing (7/26/09) I haven't received the replacement and will doubtless write a scathing update if it doesn't show up in a couple weeks :-)
paid for itself already January 16, 2010

I have one of these in the screened-in room that contains the back porch. It's been running for about 4 or 5 months now, and, so far as I know, has yet to have a false alarm. It went off one night at 1:30 a.m., and is sufficiently loud that it woke my wife and I up, and apparently ran the person off who had entered our porch area.
Others have explained in their reviews the features of this; I'll just say that it has already worked well for us. It gives you the extra time you need before someone attempts to break in to your house, and it will deter some of them.
The only thing I don't like about this product is that the main receiver/alarm unit relies on power from an outlet. It should have a battery backup.
 practical announcement system March 4, 2008

Remote sensor is a bit tricky to setup and adjust. Reliability at detecting motion is very good, minimal false signals. (About three months of use). Adjustable indoor volume - and - tone is noteworthy (not abrasive nor harsh). The system certainly has capability for expansion and multiple uses. Moderately expensive, but quality seems justified. Claimed battery life "up to 2 years" (9V rectangular battery) remains untested; I can't imagine it surviving anywhere near that long in a cold climate (I'm in the south). Likewise, a unit exposed to full-weather elements (mine is sheltered). Certainly worth a try considering the limited other systems available. Price seems competitive if not slightly better.
