So far I am really happy with this product. Not one false alarm. I have had similar products that were too sensitive; but this one works very well. My spouse really likes it also. No more surprises at the door.

I got one, installed it and it would not work at 100 ft. Sent it back to the company and got another one and it also simply does not work. We held the receiving device up to the patio window with a direct line of sight to the sending unit 100 ft. away - nothing. In the house it works when I walk past it......
Don't waste your time or money.

Yes, it lets me know when someone drives in. But sometime it acts an a__, going off in the middle of the night, or more likely just at daylight. I think moisture or tempreture changes might cause the problem, but it sure blows you out of bed with the shotgun in hand.

After installing unit I drove my car past it and it would not go off. No matter what I did it would not go off. I moved it to various positions on the driveway but still nothing. It did periodically go off for no apparent reason.

NEVER GOT ONE TO WORK!!! The first one would only go off when I walked by with keys in my pocket with the base only 10 ft from the transmitter. I called GTO Tech Support since there is NOTHING about the product on their website and the only answer I got was to "reinstall the batteries" which of course I had already tried with several sets of batteries. They also suggested I could be getting some interference from some other wireless device. So, I shut off all of the wireless devices I have and even tried moving it 250 feet to my garage and even outside with extension cords with no help. Nothing would set it off! No vehicles passing within 3 feet or any heavy steel object could trigger it. Called GTO Tech Support again and they said it sounded defective and I would have to send it to them to check it out but I would have to pay shipping. I said I would rather send it back to Amazon since they DO pay shipping for defective products. Amazon was great as usual and agreed to send me a 2nd one and pay for return shipping on the first one. Got the 2nd one and it was just as bad as the first one. The only thing that would occasionally set it off was me walking by with keys in my pocket.
Called GTO tech support for the 3rd time and this time someone was willing to spend some time with me and had me try a number of things but the best we could do was get it to go off with me walking between the transmitter and the receiver with keys in my pocket. NOTHING ELSE WOULD TRIGGER AN ALARM. He offered to send me one that he had tested ok but wanted $35 MORE than AMAZON!!! Amazon was willing to send me another one but I had already spent about 4 hours more on this thing than a person should, so I decided to send the 2nd one back to Amazon who agreed to reimburse me for both units and return shipping.
Needless to say, I would recommend NO ONE BUY THIS THING until it is ready for market. I have been doing electronics repair for over 40 years and don't think the problem is likely to be anything but defective units. I would have given it ZERO STARS if I could have. GTO was clearly not interested in getting a satisfied customer.
