For Richard Murphy:
Google "Dakota Alert" and you will find what I believe to be the best heat/motion detector on the market, though they are not cheap. I have an older model made back in the days when the serial # was hand lettered by South Dakota persons inside the transmitter unit, and a newer one (the 3000) that operates on a higher frequency and is even better. Multiple transmitters may be used with a single receiver, and vice-versa. X-mitter unit uses a 9 volt battery which lasts much longer than double A types, while the receiver operates on line voltage and is located on your bedstand or in the kitchen. Make sure you choose the unit with an X-mitter intended for outdoor use. These are very rugged and well sealed, and can be relocated easily by mounting on a stamped steel post.
There are cheaper units on the market, but they are junk compared with the Dakota. I noticed that the price on a matching set of the 3000 model has actually declined since I bought my last one -- to $159. These alerts will absolutely inform you when there are deer in the area, or even a bunny. How you deal with the situation after that is your business.
