I have one of these and it's AMAZING for giving me a solid 20 second warning that someone is coming down my driveway so I can either hide or get dressed. I prefer to lounge in comfort but also like natural light so I have lots of windows and the sheers don't quite hide the fact that I'm running to my bedroom naked when someone is already at the door.

I have this system and have been using it for the last 5 years and it's very much just OK. I feel compelled to comment... Ultimately I've switched to a system by Dakota Alert, which uses a buried vehicle sensor adjacent to my driveway. It's been 100% reliable and the batteries last forever.

The issues I have with this Guardline system are as follows:

- changing the batteries is a pain as the batteries are contained inside the sensor housing. It's 4 tiny screws in plastic, and the plastic cracks and fails after the first few battery changes.

-The mounting base itself is cheap and not sturdy

-Bugs/beetles/something build nests in the screw holes, making them inaccessible (again -required for battery changes). You get to chisel the crap out of the holes, squirt water in them to break it up just to access the TINY screwheads.

- The system is generally unreliable, having experimented with multiple mounting heights/angles/distances (and varying the dipswitch settings in the unit). I can say with certainty that it's NOT an installation issue, but a product issue, as I've tried it all in reviewing their troubleshooting literature.

- Ironically, it's VERY good at generating false alarms. Squirrels, cats, dogs, and ESPECIALLY deer. My god the deer... It can't reliably notice the UPS truck but the deer at 5am are alarmed with near 100% accuracy.

Ultimately I switched to this Dakota system that my parents have and have not looked back. See here:

https://dakotaalert.com/product/d...robe-wire/

Dakota digital system NEVER generates false alarms and seemingly never misses a vehicle. The only "non-vehicle" alarms that trigger the Dakota system is our lawn tractor driving over it, which is very understandable and is also an issue with the guardline system's motion detection. The Dakota system also let's you bury the probe adjacent to the driveway, and then remote mount the "brain" box somewhere convenient/hidden. Also, for smart home integration, Dakota offers a kit with an upgraded receiver that has dry contact outputs for monitoring/triggering.

Try using lithium batteries. The alkaline batteries are usually the temperature limiting factor.

Single sensor package is also discounted 25% off. Comes out to around $37 for someone needing only one sensor and base.

Good deal for what this is, but personally I prefer the type that's solar powered. More expensive but worth it IMO

looking for something like this that functions in winter weather (down to -25F at worst). Most "winter-rated" models I've found have +20F as their lower limit.

Yep, I did a workaround by using a receiver that has output lugs and wired them to a simple door sensor but named it driveway. When someone runs across that a quarter mile from my house all of my Alexa's announced "driveway" it would have been so nice to have a simple solution instead of having to jerry-rigged my own. If any smart home companies happen to read this, do a line of outdoor long range devices and you'll be rich. I did the same thing for my mailbox, the Dakota DCMT 2500 that I used has a mailbox sensor and did the same thing wiring from the output lugs to another door sensor and called it mailbox. damn I'm lazy!

that kit is still available:

I have Blink cameras outside and the lithium batteries in them died and I didn't have any on hand at the time and put regular Duracells in them and they still work in the dead of winter, when it is like 0 degrees. They will die faster than lithium batteries but they work. What does actually seem to be affected by the cold is my Ring outdoor battery camera, when it is very cold it usually will not go off.

I'm using a Ring Mailbox sensor at the end of my 300' driveway. It's not perfect, but the battery (3 AAA alkaline) has lasted over a month in Chicago winter weather.

That's what I bought this for, my mailbox. We have a community lockable box instead of individual boxes so I am going to put this facing the back side of the mailbox where only the mailman goes so it only gets triggered when they go to open the back of the box to put the mail in.
