Wireless long range motion detectors

[logan97]

I'd like your input / advice for helping secure my farm equipment. My barn, no doors, 3 metal gates, is located approximately 300 feet from my house. I'd like to install a "unauthorized" person detector, via motion or infrared whatever, at the barn that would send a signal to the house and turn on an alarm siren of some sort.

I've found a system that I think would work but would like to know if anyone has any personal favorite or experience with this unit. WMA-3000 Dakota Alert Wireless Motion Alert 3000 Driveway Alarm

This unit can monitor up to 4 remote locations and has a relay output that would allow me to wire up a siren to alert us, the neighbors and hopefully encourage the "unauthorized" visitor to move along without taking anything of mine with him.

All advice appreciated.

we have a Dakota 1000' from our cabin works great. Does go off when windy and also alerts for deer and turkey. Along with a Wild Game IR-4 scouting camera both work as described.Well worth the investment. :thumbsup:

Our driveway is nearly 700 feet long. I bought two sensors, one at the beginning of the driveway and one near the house turn around. I had one minor problem with a transmitter called Dakota and they repaired it quickly. Works great!!

Fellas,
Can I make/buy a battery powered RELAY for a drive alarm? In Virginia, the drive is 3/4 mile winding thru woods....climbing up a hill so "line of site" is impossible. The hill levels about 75 yards from the shop and 150 yards from a building site. I would like to know of guests BEFORE they top that hill. Any ideas?
