when camping will it detect rattlesnakes?

It will, if you place it on the ground or at an angle toward the target area. Keep in mind it will also pick up any other movement, including leaf and bush movement.

You do have to be pretty close to the wire for the sensor to pick it up, so I don't think it would detect it at all underground. Besides that, even if it could, it's not designed to clarify where an abrupt end to a signal is, so if you lost the signal, it could mean the wire is broke or you are no longer following the wire. Bottom line, this tool is not the way to resolve your problem.

Would have to say no. It works fairly well with large amounts of metal. Wouldn't detect rings, nuts, bolts, etc unless within 1 or 2 inches of source. This was a very poor quality metal detector in my opinion. I returned mine.

My sensor(transmitter) is located under the eves of the house at the front door. I have had it there one month and it is still working on the first 99 cent battery. But birds land on it(mostly at sundown) an give false signals (it needs occasional cleaning). I would think it is better to shelter the transmitter if possible.

We use this detector to turn on a radio when deer get close to our rose bushes. It will detect deer about 70 feet and smaller animals - opossum size - about 40 feet. I am satisfied with the detector. Sorry about the response time cause I may just check e-mail once a month.

Brandon, thank you for your question! This system requires electricity to function. To help keep your pets near when you are in the woods, we would recommend a remote trainer system.

mine has worked in Colorado on both skunks and raccoons for over a year. it just took about two weeks for the skunks to be convinced that that high frequency sound wasn't going anywhere. good luck.

It won't bother the neighbors but you can hear it. It beeps fairly long like 15 beeps or so. There is like 20 second delay before it will activate again. We live in the country and have to unplug it at night because the deer keep triggering it.

It will alert on a tree or point but not a boundary line. It is a great collar system but it is limited in alot of areas. I have 7 collars and i recommend it for anyone with dogs but no what you need. I have rabbit dogs. Perfect for me. The 2.0 version might alert at a boundary.

It sounds defective. I ran mine over 2 nights camping, using a small rechargeable 12 volt battery. I only heard the alarm once towards the end of the second night when I dropped below 12v. I thought it was a great lite unit for the price. I used 12 strings of LED lights around my campsite and people were amazed at the effect.

Sorry, I can't help you. Since the motion detector is ultrasonic, we can't hear it. Not sure if it is keeping the deer away or not. We are in the process of replacing the batteries this weekend and are hoping for the best. The deer have thus far out smarted just about everything we do to keep them away. Good luck.

No. 1st night in service I flipped on the outdoor flood light and discovered 4 Blacktail deer munching grass 20' away from this device. They had not been exposed to this before. It's a bit irritating blinking all night. I wonder if it would be more effective if it had a motion detector on off function, like most solar LED security lights.

Hard to say, I used it for mice control and it didn't work. Seems to me it should work right away if the sounds from it is suppose to stop the critters from going where you have it.

If close enough, it will alert to metallic presence. Not the best choice thou for searching larger areas, as you must be very close to the object you're searching for.

Yes, it works at night but that is very comforting for me. Even though the alarm might sound from a passing deer I like the peace of knowing it picks up everything. This is my third alarm and I will say this one was the simplest to install/set up and has worked great! The other ones worked about 2 years then quit. The sensor located outside is not noticed by visitors and once inside they are shocked when it alarms for an additional visitor passing up the driveway. It was a good purchase!

Yes, just make sure that the detector you buy goes the distance. They are different. I bought 2 detectors. First one set up about 450 yards away and then the 2nd one about 100 ydsaway to let me know when someone is closer. I love them !

Sorry but I've thrown out the packaging and there is no information on the alarm itself about decibels. However, the alarm does emit a loud piercing sound of alert for you. Not being a camper, it is reasonable to assume that using this particular alarm in an outdoor environment may make you a bit edgy depending on where it is located because it is sensitive. The alarm may not only detect 2-legged and 4-legged intruders you are envisioning, it may also detect other 2-legged "friendly" intruders such as birds who may break the alarm barrier. Not sure about protection from non-legged intruders (snakes). Overall, this alarm is just that--alert to you an intruder. I would recommend it for camping but beware of potential false alarms for "friendly" intruders based on its location and how many are used. I would suggest purchasing one and test in your backyard or in a park where critters live to see if this alarm meets your camping needs. If you have a pet (dog or cat), place in a location and release your pet to test the alarm. If you don't have a pet, borrow one--that's what friends are for! Again, not being a camper, I would recommend its use but would have more than one for peace of mind.
