Tools and Hardware Reviews of Chamberlain PIR2-300S Sensor for Reporter Wireless Alert System
Customer Review: NOT up to the standards of the original
Summary: 1 Stars
Beware these must have been farmed out to China for production as they have significantly less range than what was on the market as "The Reporter" just a year or more ago. Having owned several reporters and always being pleased we were disappointed when a set of batteries corroded a unit. We bought a replacement package and were shocked that the effective range could no longer work where we had the original system set up. This was approx 300' and now they cannot reach 100'!!! We bought an additional sensor and it to cannot achieve over 100'. The sensors have been downgraded somehow as I've set it up to work with either the old or new base station and the range stinks with either. I understand that advertised ranges are a pipe dream (1200' for this unit) but there is no reason a replacement unit should be of inferior quality to the original.Customer Review: junk alert system !!

the only good thing was that amazon ships fast. i purchased the system and an extra sensor. when i recd them it was missing a screw. after 15 min trying to find a tiny screw for the remote reciever i installed the batteries. buzzed fine, but both sensors had the same tone.the booklet said each one would have a different tone? i then mounted them to a piece of wood to install on a tree and discovered the range was at best 100 to 150 ft... after moving them around and driving my wife crazy with the buzzing i said adios to them and packed them back up...... do yourself a favor and dont waste your time. you dont get your time back when the refund is issued thanks tomleft@aol.comCustomer Review: A new company? and a product that won't work, minus 1 *

I have the original "Reporter" and two sensors that work as advertised, I decided to install a third sensor so ordered from Amazon the new type marked "Chamberlain", less money and it doesn't work I guess the name change negated the working ability, I have had it over a year and it worked twice both times when I tied to "teach" it to the base station it worked well at that range of a few feet. The originals have wonderful battery life and work as they should even in the cold and snowy Maine Winters and at twice the distance but the newer one,forget it( which is easy because it never goes off)Customer Review: Crap

I bought this because a friend's daughter had one and she liked it. I must have been sent a dud because try as I might I couldn't get the system to work. It kept beeping no matter where it was placed. On top of that, it's all plastic with a flimsy wire that's supposed to act as a signal - give me a break. I'd like to know how the unit will continue to work properly after being exposed to icy temperatures and freezing rain - there's no way that the batteries will continue to function. Maybe I should have had it replaced but I didn't. I'm just glad that I got my money back.Customer Review: Piece of junk

Hasn't worked a single time since I put it by the driveway. I have had this make alarm before and they worked fine but not this one. I called the manufacturer and they told me there could be no trees, bushes,had to be able to throw a ball from the receiver to the transmitter for it to operate properly. The sales info says it is good up to 900 feet, I don't know anyone that can throw a ball 900 feet, that's 3 football fields. Their reason was they were forced to shorten the antenna by some government regulation. Reguardless it doesn't work!
