If you've got a GE wireless panel, I've been using my outdoor RF PIR with a swivle base going on 8 years now...No issues and no low battery signal yet...

I've had pretty good luck with the Optex products.

They aren't the cheapest, but they stand up to the worst that a couple of installs in N. FL can dish out (including a couple of tropical storms).
