eMACROS Pro3 2.4G Wi-Fi Solar Driveway Alarm,1 Receiver+1 Sensor

This is a great device and application. Works well for the long distance to my property's main gate. Very good range. Value is excellent for the purchase price. Set up was very straightforward. Battery life is excellent especially with the solar back up. sound options are very pleasant. I found this product to be excellent. I had an old base unit and the technical support was great in helping me connect.

We bought our first pair of eMACROS sensors in 2017 and they are still working in 2026, but are not holding a charge on cloudy days. Eight years for rechargeable batteries was beyond our expectations and we were ready to upgrade to the 2026 App version. eMARCOS customer service was quick to reply to our question about whether our 2018 base station woukd be compatible with 2026 sensors. Since the sensors lasted for eight years, the 2018 base station was not compatible with the modern 2026 sensors. That was good to know and we happily ordered 2 new sensors with a new base station. We were happy with the 8-year-old system and we are very happy with the new APP system. A quality product and excellent customer service are the reasons we bought eMACROS again!

I have used other driveway alarms and thought I would try this one out. The setup was great and it worked as advertized for 6 weeks, but then the solar charger stopped working. Now its a paperweight unless I take it down and recharge it using the usb-c cable. Waiting to hear from customer support. Updated: Changed to 4 stars after customer support solved the issue.

This driveway alarm system works surprisingly well and gives great peace of mind. The motion detection is accurate, the solar charging works efficiently, and the app notifications are fast and reliable. Setup was straightforward, and connecting it to Wi-Fi was easier than expected. I use it for monitoring vehicles and visitors entering the driveway, and the range has been excellent so far. The sensors handle outdoor weather conditions well, and I appreciate not having to constantly replace batteries because of the solar feature. If you want a dependable smart driveway alarm for home, rental property, or business use, this is definitely worth buying. Highly recommended!

In 2021, I purchased an earlier version of this driveway alarm system. It worked great for 5 years. The farthest sensor was 0.25 miles from my house (the receiver), through quite a few juniper trees. The closer sensor was about half that distance, also through trees. Both sensors worked flawlessly for the whole five years. Recently, the solar panel/battery system in both sensors started to fail, so I bought the current version of the alarm system as a replacement. The new system doesn't work. The new receiver doesn't get a signal from the new sensors even at a distance of 100 yards, with direct line-of-sight and no trees. Everything works fine when the sensors and receiver are in the same room, but once the sensors are placed where they need to be, there's no connection. Useless. I'm going to try to repair the old alarm set from 2021.

I use these “driveway monitors” on three properties. At my home, I used them outside and inside the gate to alert me to visitors, but I also use them in a mountain location to be alerted to wildlife. And at my office. I’ve tried about every decent product out there over the past five or 10 years. Definitely the solar products seem to work really well and eliminate the transmitters from just randomly stopping working and you having to figure that out and then go change batteries. However, this emacros product has become my absolute favorite. Because of the Wi-Fi integration of the receiver, and solar powered transmitters. Wi-Fi integration is a great touch. Where you can control the receiver, ringtones, etc. from your phone. You can also get alerts to your phone, which is nice for me when I am away from the mountain property. All the other solar products I have used are audible only notifications from the receiver itself. That basically won’t work at all if you’re away from the receiver, or if you would like to turn the receiver tone off to not bother other people in your household. That Wi-Fi integration was a no-brainer to me, because the receiver is typically installed inside a house. But I still have not seen any other manufacturers do that yet. Some other nice things about this product is that they come pre-programmed. Transmitter to receiver. So they work out of the box. Some of the others you have to jump through some fairly poor programming that is not really user-friendly. And lastly, I did have some issues with one of my receivers after I ordered them. I gave the manufacturer a chance and reached out to them first. It took a minute, but they responded and shipped me a new product immediately. I very much appreciate that level of service. At the moment, I think these are the best on the market. And a very fair price. Cheers, Matt

The app is a major upgrade for eMacros. It actually works. I owned a previous model, and the app was never updated and became non-functioning quickly. This one works for the options it presents. Where this fails is what happens when it turns itself on or off (note - same effect if using an Alexa-controlled power outlet for the base unit/receiver). On & off programming is very critical for me, since the animals around our rural location will trigger an alarm in the dead of night. I've programmed the device via the app to turn off in the evening, and on in the morning. Here's the problem: When the receiver/base unit turns on, a very loud voice recites that it is acquiring a signal, then it "welcomes" you with a commercial message about your wonderful eMacros device in the same loud voice. If you have a sleeping child, you're on a phone call nearby, or are simply unprepared for someone to suddenly yell at you, it's a real problem. Likewise, when it turns off in the evening, it emits a very LOUD "chirp" sound. Unprepared for a loud, alarm-like chirp? Have a sleeping cat in your lap? Is your protective dog napping nearby? Expect the unexpected. I was hoping that there is a way to silence the startup voice and the sign-off "chirp" of doom with the app. Not that I can find, and I looked long and hard. The previous iteration of this device could be programmed off and on using a simple 3rd-party Alexa-enabled power outlet, and it was silent. No such luck with this device. An app update is in order that would mute the power-on voice message and the power-off chirp. Please. Also - about an hour and a half after the unit turns on in the morning, it sends a false alarm. We can check immediately, and there is nothing there, not a squirrel, not a mouse. I thought maybe it was sunshine hitting it just right, or maybe wind on a bush or falling leaves, but it is in a protected area so wind doesn't affect the surrounding area, and it does it in rain, or fog, or sunshine. Every day. Operationally, it does what it claims, but it never claims to be able to mute those audio on/off alerts. Too bad.

UPDATE 12/2025 We were having some issues with notification. Reached out to the support and within a short time had an update and a fix. Our app version was behind and we were not getting auto updates. Fast forward to an even better experience now that we are up to date. Now we can name locations and even sensors so that when an event happens it tells us which sensor was triggered. That coupled with the ability to name homes - so much better in terms of setting things up. Kudos to this company for great service, a great product and an even better app that has check all boxes for what I needed. Installed at two locations. First one has two entrances. The ability to set distinguishing tones is a nice feature. Now we know where to look. Second location surprised us that it worked as well as it does. The sensor is three telephone poles in distance and about a 75-foot change in elevation downhill to the road. Both locations have been just what we needed to alert us that we have visitors. Yes, the app is lacking clear navigation. In order to get notifications, you need to sus out the app permissions and that is a little hidden. Once I found that, I was able to do notification to two phones. Final thing: I suggested to the developer that we should be able to name the receiver. They responded and said 'working on it now'... not a full-stop item, but app feels like it needs some love. Surprised to see that email the next day. They do respond.

I have purchased two sets of these unit units, the round 2024 version and the rectangular 2025 version. I’m able to pair both motion sensors to both base stations. It has great range even indoors and their customer support is surprisingly good. I had an issue with a base station continually re-pairing with my phone multiple times a day. They sent me a replacement unit. Multiple ringtones, including voice with options like garage, driveway, back yard, front and fun ones like bird song, dog barks and gunshots.

Was easy to set up and paired immediately to my phone. I have it set up about 80 yards down our driveway and it works perfectly. It even worked at -20c. I am satisfied with my purchase.

This product doesn't work! I followed the guide perfectly and tried several times to set it up but with zero success. So they give you a number to call if you have any questions etc, I call the number and a machine answers and says leave a message and then tells you the mailbox is full. So zero support is available. If this was Aliexpress and it cost $10 then I could expect it, but it wasn't and it didn't. You've been warned!

This was a great purchase since I live deep in the woods and this product let's me know ahead of time when someone is arriving. I also recommend it since the app on my iPhone also informs you so you are aware when you're outside or away from home. The solar panel on the unit keeps it on continuously.
