Question 1

Where do you get a outdoor mounting bracket for the motion sensor?

Accepted Answer

To: Mr. James L. ProctorRef: Your question on Amazon Answers, 8/9/13: "Where do you get outdoor mounting bracket for the motion sensor?" Jim,I am happy to answer this question since I am a big fan of the Voice Alert System. I use the system on my 5 acre lot: (1) To alert me when deer and elk are present and may be damaging my trees and plants; and (2) As early-warning security alerts against uninvited intruders.The short answer: I build the brackets (enclosures that look like bird houses) myself. I use these `bird house' enclosures to mask the S/T units so intruders won't easily see that they are security devices.The long answer: How I build them is as follows.General - The Sensor/Transmitter (S/T) units have a rubber moisture seal that can be seen when the cover is removed. The literature that comes with the system says that the seal should not be depended on to protect the S/T unit from direct exposure to heavy rain, and that installing them in a protective housing is advisable. A solution that has worked successfully for me: Use 4"x4" plastic fence post sections with top and bottom end caps to build enclosures.  They are available at Home Depot, Lowes lumber where they cost about $15 per 6' section. The 4"x4" end caps for the top and bottom of the enclosure will cost about $2 each. Building any of the enclosures I use shouldn't cost more than $5 to $7 each in materials.Tools and materials that I use: 12" chop saw, band saw, saber saw, electric drill, pop riveter, PVC pipe glue, counter sink for machine screws, #6 and #8 bolts/washers/nuts, etc.  The chop saw is handy because it allows you to quickly cut off plastic fence post sections squarely.YOU NEED TO BE SKILLED WITH THE USE OF A 12" CHOP SAW TO BE SAFE IN BUILDING THE ENCLOSURES THE WAY I DO.Typical enclosure description: I have three or four configurations that I use for different types of installations, but (as an example) this one works well on an exposed side of a house, or on a tree trunk. The basic idea is to build an enclosure that can be permanently attached to a wall or tree trunk with counter sunk machine screws, but has a bottom cap that can be easily removed to allow the S/T unit to be slid in-and-out of the enclosure for making unit operational settings, battery replacement , etc. The following is how this enclosure is constructed:#1 - Use chop saw to cut off a 9" section of fence post to form the housing. #2 - Use a saber saw to cut a window on one side of the enclosure large enough to allow up/down - side to side movement of the S/T unit as required to get the required viewing angles from inside the enclosure.  #3- Drill two counter sunk holes in back wall of enclosure to enable mounting the finished enclosure to a wall. (As you proceed with the fabrication of the entire enclosure, the need for counter sunk screws in different locations will become obvious).#4- Use saber saw to cut a 9" piece of flat stock from scrap fence post to make a slide-in mounting plate for the S/T unit. This backing plate is cut to slide on the back wall of the 9" fence post section.#5- Mount the S/T unit on the backing plate with counter sunk #6 bolts, washers and nuts so that the sensor viewing port lines up to the window cut in the enclosure.#6- Use band saw to cut two 9" corners (3/8"x1/2") from a piece of fence post to act as slider rails for the S/T mounting plate.#7- lay the backing plate with S/T unit in the enclosure. Lay the two rails on the backing plate (1/2" side against the enclosure) and drill three 1/8"holes in each rail and enclosure side (make the fit a little sloppy to allow the plate to slide in easily).#8- Pop rivet the rails to the side of the housing. #9- Use PVC glue to bond a plastic fence post cap to the top of the fence post enclosure.#10- With the S/T installed on the backing plate, slide the assembly into the enclosure. #11- Drill a drain hole in a second plastic fence post cap to be used as the bottom of the fence post enclosure.  Use small machine screws to attach the fence post cover to the fence post enclosure.#12- With the S/T Backing plate removed, use the holes in the back wall of the enclosure as pilot holes for drilling the screw holes for mounting the enclosure to the wall. When the dimensions have been worked out, and one or two of these units have been built, they can be fabricated and assembled in about 20 minutes each.==============================================================================Other configurations: - Portables: Enclosures (as described above) mounted atop 1 ½" plastic pipe (7 ½ feet tall) anchored in 5 gallon plastic buckets half filled with concrete.- Open brackets (not enclosures) to be installed under protected house eves to look along walls toward entry doors.Hope this helps,John

Question 2

I need to know if anyone is using the pet immune lens insert which is horizontal lens insert placed in bottom of sensor lens and if it works.

Accepted Answer

I used a lens insert, not for pets, but to limit the field, so it didn't pick up traffic driving by, and it works very well.

Question 3

How to reset sensor after batt replacment

Accepted Answer

It should reset itself, as long as you don’t adjust any of the switches inside that link the transmitter to the receiver.  I have had issues periodically with a new battery not working (even though it is fresh).  Just remove it and reconnect.

Question 4

How do Iprogrm my second unit to my base.?

Accepted Answer

It should program automatically. Use your base to test it.
