1/2 Mile Hosmart Driveway Alarm Wireless Sensor System & Driveway Sensor Alert System Weatherproof Security Outdoor Motion Sensor & Detector Visit The H HOSMART Store

Overall I was very pleased with the Hosmart system, so much that I bought a second system! For the price, it is a really good system for added home security and for general alerts such as for deliveries and mail. Their customer service is excellent too… more about that later!One of the best features of the Hosmart system is that it has four different chimes! This is awesome because I know if motion has been detected in my driveway, walkway, backyard, or mailbox depending on the chime. There are also lights on the base station to let you know which sensor detected motion.The base station receiver is very loud, which is good for alerts and you can adjust it down if needed. What could be better: It makes a very loud tone when the volume button or on/off buttons are pressed and when it’s plugged in. A tone is not needed for plugging it in or turning it on/off, or it at least could be quieter.For the most part, the sensors are accurate in detecting what they need to (vehicles and humans). When it rains and the sensor windows have water on them, they might not detect motion. However, if the sensors are wiped off or when they dry naturally, the sensors work properly again. I suspect that any system like this would have the same issue when it rains heavily.There is no on/off button on the sensors, so if you need to be in an area where a sensor is present (washing your car, doing yard work, etc), and don't want it going off repeatedly and running down the batteries, just cover it with aluminum foil… or obviously you can turn off the base station so anyone indoors doesn't have to listen to the alert over and over... but covering the sensor with foil saves your sensor’s battery life. What could be better: Adding an on/off switch and/or remote for the sensors would be great!When a sensor detects motion, it triggers one alert chime that lasts about 2 seconds... so if you're a deep sleeper or even in a deep part of your sleep cycle, it's possible the one chime may wake you (or not), but you may not realize that it was the alert chime that woke you up. Or if you’re in another room, even at max volume, it’s possible to miss the brief alert chime. Placing two sensors or more (spaced several feet apart) for the same area, such as along a driveway or walkway increases the likelihood of being alerted to a person or vehicle. What could be better: If the base chimed 2-3 times per detection, rather than once, it would improve the system.Unfortunately, one sensor failed after two months. Fresh batteries and taking it apart to make sure it was dry and dust free inside didn't revive it. I found Hosmart's warranty support email address on their website and emailed them. I didn't get a quick reply, but when I did get a reply from Bella at Hosmart she let me know that the delay was due to my emails going to spam and she apologized for the delay! Bella quickly shipped me a new sensor and went the extra mile and gave me a partial refund to compensate for the delayed reply! The new sensor is installed and works great! Thank you Bella! :)A company can often be judged best by how they handle problems, and I am very pleased how well Hosmart (and specifically Bella) handled the issue and that she went above and beyond to make it right! I would not hesitate to order from this company again as they are responsive and stood behind their warranty!

I always wanted a driveway sensor for our property in another state, that has a 900+ foot driveway, so that we’d have a warning when someone was heading up into our woods/home, but they were very expensive and out of my reach.The Hosmart set of four motion sensors with the base for the house/dwelling is VERY affordable, well made, and easy to set up. I am physically challenged, and figured out where my strategic areas were for trespassers on this property. There are 4 distinct channels, and also a sensitivity setting inside the unit. You will probably end up turning down the sensitivity as I did because it covers a LARGE area, and may cover more than you want at times. Easy to assemble and take apart, the batteries seem to stay charged for a good while too. It’s important that you cut away branches, leaves, and other items that will trigger the sensor, just as you would for a trail cam.When you have each sensor in the set of four set on it’s own channel and distinctive tone/chime, you will find that channels 3 and 4 will NOT emit a flashing red light when the sensor is triggered. Apparently this is done on purpose, so that these two are NOT obvious/easy to see to those who come on your property. The chime still goes off for those sensors set on channels 3 and 4. I was involved from manufacturing to ISO 9000 Auditor in the electronic sub contract industry for 8.5 years, and I think these are quality products in comparison to a lot of junk on the market. These folks back up their products, give excellent customer support, and are a delight to deal with; VERY customer oriented. They REALLY want you to be happy with their products.These sensors are TOUGH, and will handle rain, cold, etc. READ the instructions to avoid pointing them into direct sunlight. They are adjustable with a swivel nut on the back plate. By the way, a screwdriver that fits ALL screws is included, as well as masonry sleeves to screw into bricks in case you don’t have wood. Honestly, I think that potential trespassers don’t realize these are sensors, but rather cameras, and THAT deters them or keeps them guessing (LOL ). The distance on this property that I have them set up on can range up to 300+ feet, and there are lots of trees, plants, and other large objects in between the base unit in the dwelling and the sensors. This has NOT been a problem. I know that I can text Customer Service or call, and not be ignored like many companies that I have dealt with in the last two decades. Two thumbs up, and five stars.UPDATE: Late 2021My base set wouldn’t work with new batteries or through the USB cord (electricity ). Called Customer Service and explained the problem, and that I needed to have the system up and running A.S.A.P. They were great! I received replacement base set quickly and was up and running! Excellent and hassle-free service. Thanks, Hosmart!
