As the first to get the "Ding Donger" as we 've named it, and introduce it to the rest of the GTA, here is the link to the Harbor Freight Driveway Alert system :)

Harbor Freight has doubled the price in 6mos!  1.5yrs ago when I bought it it was $17.99, then I got another one at $15.99 and then I bought a 3d one about 5mos ago for $16.99.  I thought the price would keep going down but to my amazement it is now $29.99!  What they hey?  Greedy company - Harbor Freight.  Because of some slightly higher demand (from backyard hunters, hehe) they have almost doubled the price.  Unbelievable..  Well here it is.  

You can probably find it cheaper on eBay but from what I understand Harbor Freight is the exclusive importer.  It's made in China of course like everything else.  Probably still worth the $30 if you have some big night critters frequenting your backyard.  It makes spotting them much easier.  You don't have to stay up all night waiting for them.  You just wake up to the "ding dong".  Go to your sniping spot, window, whatever, aim for the head, and squeeze.. then pick up the dead possum, coon, skunk, fox, whatever have you and skin it, eat it, tan it, or dispose of properly :)  First and most important step: Take pictures and post them here!   8)

Ding donger came on Sat., got it for 18.79 shipped. Question how high should I set the IR sensor? They say 3 feet. Should it be in the back of the yard or on the house?  
Thanks,
Tim

My experience is you need it to be at least 2 feet off the ground.  Mine is about 4 to 5 feet from the area I want to monitor.  You can pretty much put the other part anywhere as they seem to have a huge range.  They are LOUD so you may want to stuff it in a drawer :)  

I've got mine on a post driven into the ground.
