This is my second driveway alarm from Mighty Mule. Once installed they work pretty good. Do need a choice of getting one with a longer cable as the one supplied is kinda short for some installations. The only thing I dislike about it is, I CAN'T HEAR the alarm if in another room even when turned to loudest setting! Product would be 5 stars if it had a LOUDER sound which could be adjusted to the user's preference.

I have had one since last summer, it with stood a cold and harsh Canadian winter. Easy to install and sound is easy to hear. In fact alerted us at 2:45 am when a vehicle entered our driveway. It has done its job. :)

Dependable, Reliable and simple to installI've had ours for years, (300 foot drive) when friends are over and hear it work and hear about it from me they go out and buy one for themselves.
Well done instructions come with it.
Worth the price, it works great!

Shot RangeIt lasted about 2 years. Had short range and a lot of false alarms.
We live in the country with our power lines & transformer all above ground,(over head) right next to our driveway and county road. Will the magnetic sensor still work right below the overhead power lines?
Asked by: Kersten
Hi Kersten, those should not interrupt the Wireless Driveway Alarm being they are not moving parts or moving metal masses.

Is there a visual notification or can the sound be adjusted for hearing impaired?
Asked by: Gardenarbor
Hi, yes the sound of the indoor base station can be adjusted and the indoor base station has a light that turns on when the driveway alarm is activated.

What? kind of battery does it use
Asked by: brad18
brad18,
Thank you for posting your question. The outdoor transmitter runs off two AA batteries, (not included) we recommend lithium batteries. The indoor receiver runs off a AC transformer (included) that plugs into a 110 VAC outlet. Thank you,

I need an alarm that will only alert if a car or person passes through my gate opening. Is this the alarm for me?
Asked by: Isit
Hi, this alarm only alerts you when a large metal mass such as a vehicle, motorcycle, ATV, etc. passes through the driveway alarm's electromagnetic field. This sensor does not alert you when people or animals are in the sensor's field of detection.

I've had this alarm for several months and love it. Sadly I accidentally severed the cord that goes from the magnet to the transmitter. Is there any way to buy a new magnet with cord or do I have to just buy a new alarm?
