Does anyone here have any experience with Infrared Beam Perimeter detection systems? I need to secure an outdoor fenced area that is 300x600 feet. My thoughts are to use one of the products below:

I've read the installation instructions but have concerns about how well they really work and how often they give false alarms. Are they affected by headlights, overhead lights, the sun, do they become less effective as they age, etc. Basically I am looking for some feedback with real-world experience. All of these products claim to work but I want to know if they really work. Of course, I can just buy a pair and give it a try but since I have to run wires down a 600 feet fence I would prefer to get as much information as possible before running the experiment.
The fences are 6 feet tall board-on-board with an angled barbed-wire topper. My intent is to detect anyone who tries to climb over the fence.
I plan to mount them about one foot inside the fence at just above fence height on poles that are not connected to the fence. This should eliminate or reduce false alarms due to animals running on top the fence.
I've spent hours searching for actual User experience but haven't come up with much information. I'm also open to other "low-cost" solutions for detecting if someone climbs over the fence. I'm aware of Fiber Optic systems but they are very expensive and seem to be best suited for chain link fences. The property is located in a residential area so I don’t want to be alarmed every time some kid bumps into the fence or plays around the outside of the fence.
If anyone knows of any other discussion forums that might be more focused on this type of specialized detection ... please pass it along.
Regards,
Dave
