The rain cover on the OP is cool and not certain how the heat detection works, but it sounds good. The transmitters on either the HF or the OP light up on detection.... but to stay anonymous at night, I cover that light on the HF with a piece of black electrical tape. For this OP unit, the detection light is in the sensor and you cannot cover it.
A good price for three, I almost purchased the OP to have around, like in a couple spots inside the shop, or maybe for the distance, but I still like one receiver for one transmitter and the ability to keep anonymous in the dark. Like in the OP video, I am not carrying the receiver to the bathroom, but will hang one of the HF in the hall that on high, I can hear all over the house for the entrance door.

Otherwise with all the deer near me, it would be basically useless (for my purposes), as they would set it off a dozen times a day. I ended up buying a second base station so I could have one on each side of the house. If they are set to the same channel, the one sensor activates both stations. Downside of the magnetic style is it won't detect people but in the country that is less of issue than in the city.
Now this deal's motion detector style would be great for alerting of pool access if you had small children, blind alleys next to a house, rear doors that normally went unused, etc. But unless you have no deer, no trees / bushes that sway in the wind, etc I cannot imagine this style being anymore than a nuisance (in the country at least) which goes off all day and all night to the point you tune it out.

Get a smart plug. Or for that matter a dumb one. Set it to go off at 0355 then back on at 0410. Unless there's programming you have to do? Also I guess this one has a battery backup so that might not work?
Or, maybe shout a human voice, like "The police is being called"?
I have a small yard. One late night I happened to be viewing outside, and a perp opens my front gate and casually starts walking towards the backyard. I'm like WTF. I'm starting to panic on what to do next (I would have called the cops). I guess it was too dark (as I didn't have motion sensor lights) and he turned around and went back out. I never called the cops--regretting maybe I should have even if nothing came of it.

If anyone has any suggestions it would be awesome, ty in advance!
P.S. i'm really not a picky neighbor, i just am tired of walking through my yard like it's a minefield. Last time i stepped in it i puked on my neighbor's front door as i tried to ring the doorbell to let'em kind of know.
Needless to say they cleaned braised fish and rice off their front door AND dog shit at the same time, i made sure to leave a smear mark on their front door area 😂
These can close a circuit or output 12v. I have mine tied into a SmartThings door switch so when the chime goes off, it triggers the door switch on SmartThings and sends me an alert. It works great, less than a second delay. If you want multiple zones though, this one can't do separate outputs for each zone, that's my only regret with buying this model.

Does great for dogs. We have one setup low by each of our doors. The dogs come to the door, the chime goes off, we let them in. Basically gives them their own doorbell and keeps them from barking or scratching at the door to get in.

I have a neighbor that dislikes stray cats that use his bird feeders and bird baths as bait. He uses an animal trap with cat food as bait and has caught everything from cats to skunks.
Although some apparently disagree with our southern border, good fences make good neighbors.
I have the same Driveway Patrol now for 20+ years. Very well built. They were $10 regular price forever. Totally reliable. Very long range transmission. 9V battery that lasts close to a year in the transmitter which could be used as a portable or hung on a screw head. The receiver has two sound levels one of which is extremely loud or silent bright red LED. I had to buy the ac adapter for the receiver. Can't see why this costs as much as it does. AAA batteries in the transmitter isn't desirable as the contacts aren't reliable.
I wish these had a "5 Minute Mute Button."
Would be great for when I leave at 5am for work but don't want the beep to wake up the wife. I can turn it off when I leave, but then it's not active again until someone remembers to turn it back on.
