[QUOTE="David2012, post: 1843702, member: 24428"] This is exactly what I have.. some cheap Harbor Freight driveway alarms. I'm signed up for their weekly / monthly e-mail coupons... and a few months ago they had them on sale for only $13. I've got several of them around the house & in my tool shed. The receivers are in my bedroom and labeled for where the sensor is located. I only have to look at the flashing red light to see where to look. H F runs them on some kind of special for $13-$14 every other month it seems. Regular price is $29. The remote sensor runs off a 9 volt battery and the in-house alarm runs off of 3 C-batteries. They have an approx. 400 ft range. There is a high & low sound setting for the alarm tone. Only thing is.... you need to mount the sensor where it won't be directly exposed to water / rain. I was gonna put one in my mailbox so I'd know when the mail arrived... but the metal of the box blocked the signal. It probably wouldn't be legal, but I've thought about hooking a fence charger to my back door storm door's frame [so the entire metal frame would be electrified] and the tool shed's door knob at night. I could have it operate off of the porch light switch inside the house... just remove the bulb and plug it into the socket. I would just have to remember to turn the switch off before touching the door knobs. LOL [/QUOTE]
