Guildbrook Farm - Off Grid Living I listened to a podcast with James Wesley Rawles recently where he was talking about these things. I believe he said they transmit on the MURS radio band. He was saying if you get a MURS handheld radio, it would give you the ability to have a portable receiver. I am no expert but believe MURS is similar to CB meaning no license needed. Given your acreage might be a good option for you.
Been using this same model for a few months now. So far, we really like it. Works very well at about 400' through a metal sided shop and dense trees. Some notes to anyone considering one of these: - Use lithium AA batteries. Especially if you are in extreme temperature conditions. - Expect a lot of false alarms if you have wildlife. - Install a game camera with the same coverage area to see what animals or other heat signatures are triggering the sensor. - As already stated, pick the least annoying chime.
My UPS guy really appreciates me running out to our gate. He even throws the dog a cookie.
We got this a couple of weeks ago and im going to use mine for deer movement and the driveway. Great hunting gadget also. good job guys.
Great job putting some added security on the homestead. Can't have to much in my opinion. Thanks yall!
My darling bride and I were talking about something like this just the day before yesterday. We live in a high crime area and can’t really afford ADT or other security companies and they generally don’t have the versatility that we want anyway. This system looks much more like what we want. Since I spend a lot of time in my wheelchair and don’t walk anywhere very quickly, the driveway sensor would really help me avoid jumping up every time I hear a truck drive by when I’m waiting for a delivery! Thanks Jeremy! You’re a good man! Y’all stay safe and God bless!
Looks like a great long distance doorbell but little more. One thing I would do different is when labeling the sensors use multiples of the actual sensor number. Rather than 1 and 2 I would have labeled them 3 and 6 for example. Ne'er do wells would be looking for the other sensors OR just leaving for an easier target.
They make a better system, one that tells you the channel or zone, plus it's own distinctive alarm sound. Plus, they are operated by solar. When you tighten them down, they don't move!
It's sad but a fact of life gotta look out for the homestead. I pictured one of those old service station bells lol .
These being wireless can be monitored, so remember that. Someone with enough tme can monitor them and know when you are coming and going. I only know this because someone locally to me (Not sure where) has one of these and when my scanner hits the MURS frequencies I hear the "Alert, zone one, alert zone one" announcement over my scanner. This looks like an upgraded unit, so you may be a bit safer, but someone with radio knowledge can monitor them from a distance. Still a great idea to have them so you know if someone is near.
I don't have a homestead - but my husband has installed camera's so we can see whats happening. It is a game changer, someone rings the doorbell I can see who's at the door and decided if I should answer or call police, our garage and driveway is a blind-spot for us, so having camera's on that area is great. Great videos and really informative, can't wait to see you guys building your house!
Hey, raise the one at your entrance up 4" (behind the sign) so nobody can SEE it when they're approaching your drive.

I think the glow in the dark aspect of the sensors is a bad thing. I would prefer folks tripping the sensor not see a red light alerting them that they did so.
Nice, we have some cheap ones they don't work as well. We will check these out. Thank you for the demo video!
That's a pretty slick setup. Going to pass this on to a few people who would find this useful. May have a need in the future myself. Thank you!
2:27, the description you read from the manufacturer aside, looking at all the DIP switches, you can tell this is a highly programmable system. I thoroughly enjoy modular/expandable things as I feel the manufacturer is more inclined to make it durable and long-lasting; often at a premium however. 4:30 Simple and intuitive. 8:44 Oh dear, best of luck!
Thank you, Jeremy. This is very cool to see demonstrated.
Love the video! I never knew these existed and now that I know I am going to get one. Thanks for the info on how to install.
TY for posting this information! Definitely will be checking this out.
Recently grabbed one of these for my driveway! I'm also in Hiddenite, off Cheatham Ford Rd. Small world!
Very cool...I never would have thought of something like that to add to the property.
I'm impressed too! They ought to be sponsoring you! Watching and Supporting, Dropping another LIKE on your video! I am very happy that you all found that property and can have your animals!
Very good guys...glad you were ok thru that storm !!!
Those are pretty cool! I hope someday to have my own homestead something like yours, love your channel thanks for sharing
Great product for your property.we had one like this on our driveway and no matter where I put it the road traffic was always setting it off. So I took it down. Jaime, your hair looks great like this by the way👍🏼✨thank you for the video you all.
We have a Rodann and love it! We keep our gate closed at night and we occasionally hear what we think are deer that cross in front of it. As long as the gate is closed I'm ok with the " bing bong"!
Excellent product. A friend of mine has the same problem as you do. This will go great for him. Thank-You
Those are really cool. Thanks for posting💜
This will be perfect for my cabin!! Thanks!
Thanks as always for the videos!
That's pretty nice!! I've been thinking of looking for something just like it. Just what I need! Thanks!!
That is awesome!!! What a great idea!!
My home is down a shared road also. My neighbor has a sensor up for anything that passes his driveway. Which includes me, and the end of the road neighbor. I'm not that nosey. However I had never looked into driveway alarms, because my personal drive is too long for the cheap ones. Never crossed my mind to look in to look online. Doh!
Cool product thank you for sharing your find!
That was good information I may need to look in to one of them.
Very interesting! I’m definitely going to look deeper into this system.
Looks like a good system. I hope you will give us an effectiveness update in a couple of weeks. Thanks for the share.
Great information! Thank you
Fabulous! Thank you for sharing
These are great. I've got the Dakota system, which is similar, but more reliable from what I've read online. The Dakota is very programmable and the sensors are more pinpointed so you have less chances of false alarms. These products are always best to integrate into a video system that will notify your phone when the alarm is tripped. I have a camera that comes up live on my phone for each motion sensor that gets tripped.
This is awesome! We're having trouble with people dumping trash on our property and so far have no way of catching them. Hopefully the range is enough to use here with some field cams. Thanks!
Thanks! Cool stuff!
Review this again in a month or two. I will be interested to see of you still like it then.

+Vink yeah, i tried two different brands of this type of driveway monitor, they had issues to say the least. I'm hoping these are better, they do so much research on everything, i figure they have to be better, so if they still like them in the future i will definitely look into purchasing them.
You know, we laughed at my mom when she got one of these. Now we don't. That driveway alarm is the best!!!
Your the third homestead that I have watch that use this system. It must be really good if it’s a lot of homestead are using it.

Looks like a great system. What a great tease for the next video. Got me curious.
Keep safe! I'd also suggest cameras that can capture any intruders, too. I like the frequent suggestion of also numbering the cameras to make it appear you have more hidden around.
Love the video. Thats a cool idea.
Thanks for sharing 👍
Great advice!
Thanks my son in law wants one, now I know where to order it.
Pretty cool. Keep up the great work
This was a great review.
awesome set up guys !! 👩🌾🎥👍✝
I have the same thing I love it! And just so you know the batteries last a long time. I’ve had mine in for a year.

Swann also makes a nice driveway system but the drawback is 3 sensors, and 200 foot range. Yours looks much more advanced with more options.
We used one of these at our home in Montana - had to take them down as the deer and elk set the alarms off all night long

Yeah. I can see where that would get annoying.
I love motion sensors. We have them in all doors and windows. Just extra security because we’re still in the burbs. I’m home alone a lot so it gives an extra sense of security. I’m always armed nowadays too. Even just sittin watching KZread. Plus I have access to weapons in every room. This is a great idea for you guys since you have so much land. Great idea and video. TFS Blessings always ~Lisa
Good demo and review!!! TY
That's a neat product. Can't wait to see what's coming next! Lol
Very good idea to do...thats pretty neat
Awesome..thanks for the tip..
Good work guys.
Great video, thank you for sharin', I appreciate it. Ugh, the other project doesn't sound fun.
I need to get one of this for my new property soon..
This is a timely video. I just watched a W5 or something on how these are easily hacked. Have you checked that? Thanx for taking the time to share. Always enjoy your videos
Cool stuff!
Duffys love shack Tee! Been there several times. That’s sweet! Oh and I like the Vid lol!,
i love you guys my kinda people...id love come visit i can pitch my tent,....
Great review brother, you sold me I want to get me one
My concern is the singal alert. Same a cell phone only rings once you're not sure if you actually heard it or not.
Great video
like the new look! much more gray man
Excellent. Now , hollow out your fence posts and place boxes inside. Cover with a metal plate,hole drilled out. Now it won't be noticed until too late. Learn how to remove from sellers box and place it back into a homemade cammo box.

Welcome to the circus!
Looks good! That could work for my front gate and then the front door. I'd probably get the lithium rechargeable batteries instead of the eneloop rechargeable batteries - unless they've improved their long term quality.
Hi again! Cool beans guys!!!!
Living in the urban jungle this could really help me catch my neighbors dogs in real time. Camera set up only allows me to catch evidence that they have been doing their business in my yard....well other than the evidence they leave behind. Thanks for sharing.

Oh that gave me a good chuckle.
We have the same one and when it works its perfect. But have found it doesn't work well in rain, fog or misty weather.
I love this idea. I’m looking for something that will flicker a lightbulb inside the house since I don’t want the rings. Any ideas?
Great idea. Have you tried the reciever inside the house? Sometimes the house construction blocks radio waves. Stay safe.

Great video! There should be a way to hoot it up to a 12 volt battery right ?
I like the range. Good coverage on your roads. Now, what about the rest of your fence lines? Any concerns intruders may come in that way?
awesome
I've got one similar but you cant put it anywhere useful if there's foliage nearby as the damn wind moving the bushes sets it off all the time. I've had to use it closer to the house where there's no vegetation which is not ideal but better than nothing. 😑
Ty
Could you run that on solar instead of batteries? That visor looks like a good place to put a little panel.
I like the shirt. I used to live in St. Thomas.

I like it. Time to get rechargeable batteries and wire in a small solar panel to each sensor.
Please tell me you filmed changing your hair. I’m so curious as to how you guys do an off grid beauty salon 😁
we've got 4 of these on our property … they work good but cant change tones … so im thinking of changing to yours ...
I'll be interested to see what you think of those alarms. I have 3 driveway alarms now, but they detect vehicles breaking their magnetic field to operate rather than motion. They work really well, but longevity is an issue with them and also the base seems to build up a memory that can result in false alarms. Wind can also cause false alarms. I went with them because it would be difficult on our place to install sensors at height where they'd be inconspicuous. My worry with the motion sensors at our place is false signals by the brush blowing or critters breaking the beams. My current sensors sit low to the ground and are easily hidden. I really like 'em when the system is fully operating, but it's frustrating when there's an issue. I've been looking for something better with little success. Hope you do a follow up to this after a while.. I'd appreciate to know what you think of that system.
I've been looking for this video from you guys for a time....this is good project of the day. Is your alarm monitor system, hooked up to your wifi phones ? So if it is triggered , you get a notificaton on the phone ? It's a pain to have constant notifications, when you got lots of forest critters on the property...lol
Good job,,,how well does this unit work in the daek
swivel doesn't tighten enough, wind, rain and snow moves it, always pointing down

Yep, security is important. I'm curious how long the batteries will last. Hopefully for many months. One of the consumer drones could be useful on a property like yours, especially if we enter an environment of WROL. I often consider security measures.
