Title: "The Reporter" reports, sometimes
Review: I affixed the reporter to a tree trunk a few feet from my driveway so that it would alert me of vehicles driving up. For some reason, it almost never detects certain cars, and always detects others. This could be because I need to aim the unit lower (maybe the signal passes through the windows and doesn't pick up the thinner opaque parts on the upper part of the car?), but I didn't want it picking up animals going by.One other problem that I have is that the batteries seem to last only a month or so. And the alarm is pretty loud - you don't want it in the same room with you while you sleep unless you really want it to wake you up!When The Reporter is working, it seems to work well and will send the signal over a long distance as advertised. It's a good deal for the low price, but I wouldn't trust it completely.
Is the review positive or negative?
