I have been using the YoLink Outdoor Motion Sensors to detect visitors in our front and back yard. They work extremely well! The key was determining the ideal height of installation with limited tree limbs to choose from. Aim them such that the subject will cross the sensor perpendicularly (not approach it head-on or from behind). These are the only outdoor tuned motion sensors (fewer false alerts) that I found rated for 2 years battery life and up to 1000 ft range using LoRa (low-power wide-area network). With the hub connected to IFTTT, I added some virtual sensors in Hubitat that trigger pushover notifications and increase the sconce dimmers from 30% to 100% for 10 minutes. Only $40 on Amazon currently.
