MURS Alert Handheld Kit - One MURS Alert and one handheld

The MURS Alert outdoor long range transmitter is a revolutionary new way to monitor driveways, trails, or sidewalks. The MURS Alert Transmitter uses an infrared sensor and is mounted to a tree or a post to monitor activity at locations up to 4 miles away. If you only want to detect vehicles in your driveway, you can bury the MURS Alert Probe Sensor along side your driveway so you won't have false alarms from passing deer or other animals.

A MURS Alert can detect people, vehicles, or large animals, and then send an alert message to the MURS 4 Mile Range Intercom base station or the MURS Handheld. Up to four different zones can be monitored simultaneously using four MURS Alert units.

The alert message is not just a tone, but it is spoken in English three times repeating the phrase "Alert Zone One," "Alert Zone Two," "Alert Zone Three," or "Alert Zone Four" depending on the zone that has been triggered. The alert message spoken is easily selected during setup of the transmitter. The MURS base stations also have a relay switch that is activated when a zone is triggered. You can wire an external alert device such as a bell or siren to this switch for a louder alert.

Like the MURS base station and handheld, bothy the MURS Alert Transmitter and Probe Sensor have five channels and 38 sub-channels to choose from to help eliminate interference from other users.

The extended range of the MURS Alert Transmitter and Probe Sensor helps in monitoring areas that have been very difficult to monitor in the past.

It will be of great value to businesses trying to monitor customer traffic, security guards trying to monitor remote warehouses, farmers monitoring vacant farm sites, and hunters monitoring game trails. MURS Alert will give you real time monitoring of any location that you choose.

MURS two-way base station radio


The MURS 4 Mile Range Intercom is the wireless intercom you need if you have a large property or you need to talk between buildings. This first-of-its-kind intercom cannot only be used to communicate within a home, but to neighboring houses as well. You can even add a handheld unit to your MURS intercom system so you can stay in touch up to four miles away from your home.

MURS is short for Multi-Use Radio Service. This is a newly created service by the FCC in the United States. It is a low power, short range service in the VHF (Very High Frequency) 150 MHz Citizens Band radio spectrum in which you do not need a license to operate a MURS station.

Previously the FCC came out with the Family Radio Service (FRS) in which you can find handheld units, but no intercom systems based on this service. MURS has a power increase of four times that of FRS radio. And unlike FRS, you can add a larger or external antenna to improve range. If you want to put an antenna on top of your house, you can do it with MURS! Some antenna manufacturers claim an external antenna can increase the effective radiated power of a transmitter by a factor of 4.

You can add an unlimited number of portable and base units together. Put a base unit in your house and when when you walk the neighborhood, you can use a handheld unit to keep in contact with home. Put one in you mother’s house down the street to stay in touch. Or simply use them to communicate between floors or rooms in your house or business.

While the MURS units are not as secure as the WireFree wireless intercom units, there are fewer devices using this newer frequency so people with cordless phones or baby monitors won’t be picking up your conversations. If you don’t need the longer range, the WireFree is a little less expensive and is totally battery powered.

But if you need long range, the MURS 4 Mile Range Intercom is for you.

If you need features not found on this intercom system, also check out the MURS Commercial Intercom Systems.

MURS Alert Probe Sensor

This metal detecting probe for use with a MURS base station or a handheld unit will not give false signals from large animals or other moving sources. It will detect movement of vehicles about 14 feet on either side of the probe, so it it recommended to bury the probe on the side of the driveway. This probe also operates on 6 AA alkaline batteries, but battery life is about six months under most conditions. The probe is connected to the transmitter box with 50 feet of direct burial cable, which allows for a more covert installation.
