I have a DSC LC151 (PIR + 10GHz Microwave) that I need to replace due to about 12-15 false alarms/day. I use it as a driveway sensor, it chimes my alarm, it's a monitor only zone.
It's rigidly mounted on a wall perpendicular to cars driving up the driveway, so it works great as a driveway sensor. It sees full sun in the AM only, no false alarms. In the afternoon, it's in the shade. But on the other side of the driveway is a tall slope, mostly weeds, small trees. The slope faces west, so as it heats up and the wind picks up, it's falsing.
I had assumed the microwave would eliminate falses, but it appears to be useless.
So after some research, I've narrowed it down to 2 options.
DSC LC171 - Has Dual PIR + 24GHz microwave (Same as Crow EDS 3000)
Watchout DT Extreme - Has Dual PIR + Dual Microwave (10GHz)
Any recommendations?
