 Extreemly Usefull! February 28, 2010
Brian M. (Wyoming, MI)
I have an unheated enclosed breezeway between my house and garage. I know the previous owners of my house had a break in. They had an ADT alarm system installed after the break in. I know that my breezeway would provide a burglar with excellent cover when trying to break into my home. This made me very paranoid. I purchased the Skylink HA-318 Motion Alert to let me know if anyone enters my breezeway. I love this product. I think I have only received one false alert in the past three months. An extremely rare false alarm is no bid deal to me.

This alarm works just as described. It will alert you to motion detected of the premise being surveiled! I wish the siren was louder, and beeped continuously, until manually muted or turned off.

I used to have two dogs roamimg around the backyard all the time. They both passed away. So, I bought six HA-318T around the house such that I know where I need to pay attention, especially in the evening. The receiver can be put reasonable far away from the sensor, even with several walls in between. But it takes time to complete the handshaking when reset, probably 10 miniutes. So be patient. The sensor sometimes is too sensitive. If there is tree in the area, you definitely need to set the sensitivity to low. Once you set it to low, the sensing range is about 20-25 ft only. I guess this is the problem when powered by battery. My AC motion detect outdoor lights can sense as far as 100 ft. I aimed the sensor to a small area with door or window instead of a huge backyard. There are false alarm in daytime but it never happen in nighttime, don't know why. May be flies or bees pasing by ? But setting sensitivity to low should resolve most of the issue. One afternoon, one of the sensor kept going off. I found there was a brown pine needle hanging over the roof. In general, I use this system combined with motion detect light. It works well so far.

We bought this unit to alert us when our de-clawed cat is at the front door. Works great with no false alarms, so far.
 Ok as an alert, not good for security December 13, 2007

First of all, the base unit is very small, not much bigger than a deck of cards. That's not a bad thing, it just looked bigger in the pictures.
It is fairly easy to set up and works fairly well, although it was a little hard to get the sensors working at first.
The trouble with this item is that it gives false alarms. I have 2 sensors, they light the #1 and #2 light on the unit. However, soon after I started testing the #3 light started rapidly blinking. I don't have a sensor 3.
And twice the alarm has gone off when it shouldn't have. I have #1 in my living room, I was home alone and it started beeping. I thought "what the heck?" and went out to the living room, nothing and no one was there. That was creepy though.
My #2 sensor is pointing down my basement stairs. Tonight as I sat here at my computer out of the corner of my eye I saw #2 blinking. Unless it can detect a mouse or something, there is nobody down there (or IS there?)
I think they need to redesign this unit with some sort of unique coded signal from the detectors so that there will be no false alarms. Otherwise, it's maybe good as an alert to let you know that someone is *probably* there, but not for actual security, it would make you paranoid with the false alarms.
