Hey, this product is fab. It arrived on time and was carefully packed, and it also came with a good looking delivery man. Up to now, meaning I’ve had no issues, I think the service is spot on. It is exactly as described, has a safety and instructional leaflet included in the box, and you can buy a mains lead for it, I suppose that’s for when it can be close enough to plug in. Its the best thing I’ve bought for a long time, I only had it a day and I scared the livings out of the postman, three parcel delivery men, and my carer as he was going home. Haven’t laughed so much for ages. Been looking for something like this to add more life to the blood soaked, eye popping, axe yielding, scary props I set up in the early hours, just to freak the neighbours out in the morning. The sound is good quality, the censor is brilliant, I only had a tiny slit of it showing as it was disguised under hoods, scarfs and things, but it still went off every time it saw my victims lol. I’ve got to buy more, I’ve got more pranking to do, and these little memo gems will have me on the floor with laughter. I’m going on 63 and my friend always says to people, ignore her, its just a stage she’s going through, she’ll be a teenager soon and start growing up. No way, not when there’s brilliant gadgets like this on the go, I’m gonna hide it in the hedge and have it shouting……Excuse Me, You’ve just dropped your splif lol. I can’t wait to get more of these memo’s. Don’t hesitate folks, buy one. Mmmm, I haven’t checked their other items yet, must hurry, see ya.!!!

I don’t know how I’d manage with my aunt’s Dementia without these. Fortunately she’ll listen to the message most of the time – if the person ignores all warnings and instructions then they won’t help in that particular context, but they’ve generally put a stop to the night wandering so they are worth it just for that. Some experimentation with the messages has been necessary, but invaluable is the only word that describes the benefit of these simple machines. They can be a little unpredicable when setting up (at times) but they usually settle down

Having recently adopted a young border collie who is as good as gold during the day but shredding all sorts of things during the night, I was interested to see this gadget – would it work to stop this behaviour? The answer would seem to be ‘YES!’. It was very easy to set up the recorder, which I then placed about a metre away from the corner of the room (facing the corner, not out into the room) where the dog was pinching things to chew – this allowed her to move freely about the rest of the room without setting off the recording of my voice. It was only when she crossed in front of the infrared sensor that the recorder played back its message, ‘Uh uh! No – leave it!’ (which I heard about 2 minutes after I went upstairs at bedtime!). This morning, no shreddings! Of course, it’s early days, but if this continues to do the trick, I’ll be a very happy bunny!
Some weeks down the line, and I have to say that this device has exceeded all my expectations. I may not be using it for the original intended purpose, but my goodness, it works exceedingly well to stop my young dog in her tracks when I’m not around to do the job in person. Only one problem – she worked out that the sensor didn’t point both ways, so I’ve had to buy a second one!

WARNING!!!! We bought this sensor to remind my mother who has Alzheimers to go back to bed during the night…. I was glad to see that we could use an AC adaptor to power it as I needed it go work from a time clock, i.e. only have it activated during the nighttime. To achieve this we had to discard the batteries and only power it using an AC cable. We did this and the device became intermittent! It only worked on Record Mode but wasn’t able to record a message, the red light just kept blinking! After a bit of time I noticed the device got gradually hotter with an awful burning smell coming from it! We ordered a replacement (from a different seller) and only used batteries which the device worked perfectly fine…. however, the second we plugged in the AC cable the device stopped working, the burning smell started and the device got gradually hot! So in short, this device only works off battery power alone! AC power just kills it! Such a shame as it was working brilliantly the short time I tested it on batteries. NRS needs to address this issue immediately! Someone out there could be using AC power as a backup if the batteries run dead! If the batteries run flat, not only will the device break but present a significant fire hazard!!!!!! BE CAREFUL EVERYONE!!!! TAKE THIS DEVICE OFF THE MARKET NRS TO ADDRESS THE ISSUE! IT COULD EASILY CATCH FIRE!!!

I bought this to stop my dog jumping up at the side when we weren’t there. It worked a couple times but then one day I came home to it chewed in her bed 😂
The product was okay, not worth the money though. You can get better products for the same money which have video to your apple products.

So easy to use. Quickly record a message and leave. The person moves or wakes up and moves and wonders where you are. The gadget delivers the message. Great sound quality.

Great. Does exactly what it says it will. The recording microphone is EXTREMELY sensitive so you need to adjust the volume of the source (be it a voice or music, sound effect etc.) to quite a low level. It’s quick and easy to re-record though and so you can get it bang on after a couple of attempts. You might want to be careful when sliding the switch in record mode as the sound of your fingers on the switch can get recorded along with whatever sound you are trying to record. I got it so that you don’t hear the ‘switching process’ hardly at all.
Once you have recorded the desired sound or message the unit operates extremely well. It’s sensitive enough to be triggered by movement. I have mine in the porch and it works brilliantly. There is no mention about indoor/outdoor usage. I feel that it purely for indoor use. It doesn’t look like it would be waterproof whatsoever so that should be considered. It’s a well made device for the money because of the clever recording facility. I might even buy another one.
