I'm using these below for detecting outdoor cat. Transmitter works at 50ft, but maybe not 50M. The 9V batt lasts for nearly a year. It's thermal-IR, but if non-ambient mail is falling right across it, probably it will trigger. Or, cut into the sensor and add a leaf-switch and resistor. Perhaps extend the PCB antennas as dipoles (is it 433MHz?)
