Customer reviews for Wireless Driveway Alarm
Wireless Driveway Alarm
The Mighty Mule Wireless Driveway Alarm alerts you when anyone enters your driveway so you never have to worry about being surprised by visitors. The handy alarm uses reliable vehicle detection to sense when a car or truck passes and does not alert you when an animal or human passes. The sensor features in-ground electromagnetic sensors that will activate an indoor chime when a vehicle enters. Wireless communication between the outdoor sensor and the internal base station is effective up to 400 ft.

I purchased this product over 6 months ago and it has worked perfectly. No false alarms which was a problem with my previous driveway alarm which was sensitive to animals and temperature changes. I have a long driveway, so there is relatively little traffic that could create a false alarm. I have the sensor installed about 75 years from the base station. Given the price of this unit, I expected it to be too good to be true. But I was wrong. I'd highly recommend this product for anyone looking for a driveway sensor.
Pros: Easy to Install, Reliable
Yes, I recommend this product.

Home Depot did a great job getting the product to me and giving me a full refund when I returned it.
The product did not work.
I tested it as directed. I drove past it with two different cars. It only worked sporadically with one and not at all with the other.
When it did detect an automobile going past it, the sound coming from the reciever set at full volume was barely audible in the room it was in and impossible to hear in most of the rest of the house. The alarm only sounded for for the length of four short tones.
I have since purchased another brand product from another source and am totally satisfied.

We have a long driveway that we can't see from inside our house. We installed the mighty mule driveway alarm so we would know when we had guests. Now, when ride-sharing with others, they don't have to get out of their car and walk to our front door because the alarm notifies us that they have arrived and we meet them at their car. No false alarms. It senses vehicles only. Easy to install and hardly noticeable agaist our fence.
Pros: Easy to Install
Yes, I recommend this product.

I have a 250 foot driveway and have this system installed for 1.5 years now. It has never failed me and havent had to change the batteries yet. Simple set up. Great for the pizza delivery too. No one ever get to the door bell here im out fast once alarm goes off and the dogs are at the gate once they here it. Has volume control but if you want on high I can hear it from the other side of my 2500 square foot ranch. At the time home depot sold them for 49.99 but even at 65 well worth it has stood up and worked in any weather.
Pros: High Quality of Material, Easy to Install, Light Weight, Seals Well
Yes, I recommend this product.

This product was super easy to install and works great.
I'm on 5 acres with a wide open panoramic view from a full glass living room and entry. Unfortunately, my long side driveway is not visible from most of the house. Before I installed this unit I didn't know anyone was even on my property until they were right at my door looking in. Kind of creeped me out--especially at night. Well, no more of that. I've got my privacy back!
The tone from this unit can be heard throughout the house and gives ample time to decide whether or not I'm "at home" :o) Why did I wait so long to buy this simple, reliable, inexpensive product? Beats the heck out of me.
Yes, I recommend this product.

I bought a drive way alarm about a month ago. I finally got it where it would hit and miss cars after moving it to within 200 ft of the house. Not dependable at all.Going back to the another brand alarm.Lot more dependable.
Cons: Difficult to Install, hit and miss
No, I do not recommend this product.

I have a 500'+ driveway and wanted to have something that would alert us when visitors came unannounced. Other solutions that I investigated cost much more than this alarm, so I figured I would give it a try. Installation was a snap, and once I got the transmitter installed it has worked well. Two things: First, I couldn't reach the max distance (400', I believe, was what the manufacturer touted) with my unit even though I have a clear line of sight to my house from the transmitter's location, but I probably have it 300' away. Second, the transmitter is mounted on gray PVC and is just a little less sturdy than I had hoped, though it seems to be satisfactory. All-in-all, I can recommend this product to do what it says.
Yes, I recommend this product.

The only problem is performance. The alarm works fine for 99% of the vehicles but fails to alert when the UPS truck makes a delivery. I think their trucks may be made out of rubber.
Pros: Easy to Install

Product works great it every vehicle that went past it has been accounted for which is nice since our driveway is long and can't see from the house. We have people coming to our barn to leave equipment or product for our farm and its nice to know when there here or when anyone is here. We have wild animals like deer and it doesnt set it off or when walking by just vehicles and lawn mower. The dinger from it you can change volume of it not too annoying loud enough to hear from all over house.
Pros: Easy to Install, Light Weight, can mow over it, reciever can handle well with weather
Cons: had to tie reciever around tree
Yes, I recommend this product.

We love this product. We live in the woods with a long driveway, and it is nice to have an alert when guests arrive or family arrive home. It works very well. We have had a false alarm very rarely, but truly that has not been an issue. Bought one for my parents too, and they love it. My brother-in-law bought one too when he saw how it worked at their house!
Pros: High Quality of Material, Easy to Install
Yes, I recommend this product.

We love our Mighty Mule wireless driveway alarm. We live in a wooded, rural area with a hidden drive. We do not get a lot of visitors and so the Mighty Mule provides early announcement of someone coming to our property.
Installation was quick and easy and performance has been perfect.
Pros: Easy to Install, works perfectly
Cons: none
Yes, I recommend this product.

Range is very poor, due to some trees. Wet weather seems to affect it. Unreliable for the most part. I would not recommend this for anyone in a wooded area.

Installed and had it working in 15min. 15' from mailbox and adjusted the sensativity for 13'. I know when the mail is delvered and when cars come into the driveway. Does not false alarm like Photoeye or Motion detector. I studied driveway detectors for 2 weeks and chose the Mighty Mule. The receiver sound is adaquite, wish it was a little louder or had relay output to interface to door bell or security system. Performs as I expected 5 stars. Good Value and a Good Price. I recommend this product

Detector seems to work fine, the alarm loudness is such it can not be heard over normal home noise or for any distance. If it can not be heard its not an alarm. Will be returning within a few days. Not happy with alarm performance.

I bought this unit for my seasonal business. I have it located about 75 feet from the highway. Overall it is pretty decent. Pros: I am located inside a metal building and do not have any problems receiving a signal. Cons: It does receive false readings every few hours when there are no vehicles going by. I have noticed when large trucks that vibrate the ground go by on the highway it sometimes goes my go off. My unit does not detect new Camaros or some small cars. I guess there is not enough metal mass there for the unit to pick up. It is probably a better unit than the motion sensor types but just a little bit more on the pricier side.
Yes, I recommend this product.
