Great system and no false alarms! Jan 30, 2010
The MURS Alert Probe system replaced a motion detection system alarm device with a 300' range. This is ok unless you have animals like deer, turkey, cattle and other critters that can get in the view of the sensor. The MURS probe sensor does not send an alarm unless there is moving metal like a car or motorcycle entering your property. We installed the probe inside our metal tubing that makes up the cattle guard. The metal pipe has no effect on the probe sensing other moving metal. It is approximately 1/2 mile from our house to the entrance. No problem with the signal. We like the MURS because it does not give false alarms and it greatly extended our notification time that some one was coming to visit. You should order the kit for the best price, which includes the receiver for you home and the MURS Alert Probe sensor. Most vendors show each piece priced seperately. You can use it out of the box, but I have two other neighbors that have the same sensor so I had to set the different codes on my set to keep from interfering. This was not hard to accomplish. The manual explains the process. The system is working perfectly and not interfering with my neighbors.

I own the entire set... Nov 09, 2008
I own the entire set- the base station, two walkie-talkies, two motion sensors, and two of the driveway sensors. I've been using the setup for about six months without any problems, the units are great.
I used the driveway monitors, which are buried seismic sensors, to alert when vehicles near my gates. The motion sensors are placed inside the gates. The buried sensors are more accurate so they are placed on the perimeter. Once dialed in correctly, the motion sensors detect vehicles and humans with minimal false alarms. Most false alarms here on the motion detector are caused by wind blowing nearby bushes.
The range is fairly decent for my purposes, the farthest sensor is about a quarter mile, maybe a third, from the base station. The base station will pick up signals better than the hand unit, but both are adequate and are fine. I have clear line of sight without obstructions, and the antennas on each end are placed high (15' high for the gate sensor, 7' high for the indoor base station.)
I've yet to change the batteries in any unit after six months. At first I did have some issues with constant false motion sensor alarms which required strategic placement and settings inside the motion unit.
Other than that, this setup is exactly what I needed at a decent price. Five stars.
