MURS Alert Long Range Alert Systems

The new MURS Alert™ offers the ability to monitor activity at remote locations. The MURS Alert™ transmitter utilizes passive infrared sensor technology to send an alert signal to the MURS transceivers, letting you know that someone has entered a monitored area. The M538-HT and M538-BS transceivers can also be used for two-way voice communications.


The MURS Alert™ transmitter is capable of sending 4 different alert messages to the transceiver. The alert signals will be spoken English, and are easily selected at the transmitter so that separate zones can be monitored at the same time. MURS Alert™ will give you real-time monitoring of remote locations up to several miles away.


The MURS Alert™ has many different applications; it can be used by security guards, small businesses, and by hunters monitoring game trails — any scenario that requires immediate notification when someone or something enters a monitored location.


Authorized by the FCC, MURS (Multi-Use Radio Service) is a license-free service that allows the user to transmit voice and data. MURS also allows a maximum of 2 watts of output power. This means greater range than other license-free radio services.


About MURS


MURS (Multi-Use Radio Service) was authorized by the FCC in November of 2000 as a
private, two-way voice or data communications service for personal or business activities.


The five MURS channels are available on a shared basis only. No channels are assigned on an exclusive basis, therefore it is up to the user to cooperate in the channel selection to help avoid interference. FCC rules do allow for the use of external antennas with MURS.


Who Can Use MURS?

No license is needed. A person is authorized by rule to operate a MURS radio providing he or she is not a representative of a foreign government. Also, MURS can be used anywhere in the United States except onboard an aircraft in flight.


Range


You will notice that we described the range of the MURS system as several miles. While this might sound a little vague, we are not trying to deceive. The range will be dependent on your local surroundings. We have tested units here in South Dakota over flat ground to ranges of about four miles. However, if you are in an urban area with many tall buildings, your range may be significantly lessened.
