how far will the sensor pick up someone?

Not very far. The remote can be sensative to other devices and makes noise when there is no movement. We used the sensor by itself because the bell is loud enough to hear in the next room.

We had ours set out at least 6 feet and it was mounted above the door. It might depend on where you mount it but it had a good range.

Amanda, I have the sensor above a door at the end of my hallway so that it monitors all doors connected to it. I keep the remote in my bedroom that is about 60ft away and it has worked fine. Hope this helps.

I can't give a "per foot" answer, but I can tell you that it is VERY sensitive! I had to put tape over it to keep it from picking up so much.

It picks up very well at over 100 feet, it's very sensitive so it will pick up everything

It will find them if they fall behind something. It was useful when they were in another room and once behind the couch. I am not sure how far away this will work, but I have found them up to about 50 feet away.

No cats in my installation but based on how sensitive it seems to be I would think it would pick them up if it was very close or directly over the liter box and their approach path does not have any obstructions that would block the sensor. Hope this helps.

It detects pretty far out, I have animals 30' away in a pasture and it will often pick their movement up. I don't know about 200' away, would be better if you could mount it closer to the activity. Also, it doesn't pick up 'wide angle' but only straight out in front of the detector. The 1/2 mile transmit claim is valid though!

I was able to use the device successfully at a distance of approximately 30 feet between the sensor and the alarm, one floor apart. And this was in a house made of concrete reinforced with steel, which is the way we build here in the Caribbean.

4". Not sure on range but I put tape over the sensor to reduce triggering it from people walking past the bathroom

In my experience, the device will begin to respond when it is within 10 - 15 feet of the targeted object, providing there are no obstructions (trees, buildings, etc.), between you and the object. Then, as you get closer, the response becomes stronger.

I can't say for sure but I don't think it will. The device is small enough where you have to sit at your pc so that it picks up your movements. So someone walking around will not be activity that would be picked up. Thanks

Hello, The motion sensor will pick up on a 20ft range, and 120 degree coverage. Thanks! www.FortressSecurityStore.com

So far, it gives you the location, but I tend to find that the device is not accurate past 20-30 feet. So if you are using to track a person with some sort of cognitive issue, you will know the general area to look, but not the specific area.

Sorry our trees are to far away to trip the sensor. Our trips are from people, pets and vehicles, the larger the object the farther away the trip seems to happen. As a side note still running on batteries installed 10 months previous.

Unfortunately it's range is only a few inches. You need some sort of GPS locator.

If it is a small item it will need to almost touch it .larger items it will detect it around 1 maybe 2 inches away .

Possible. This motion sensor can only see about 30 feet if you point it down. Point it up and the wind will set it off. This means the sensor is close and receiver has a short radio wire on it which could possibly receive a sensor signal from a long distance.

In the instructions it states "the range of the sensing unit is 0.5 to 16 feet". They recommend that you never leave less than one foot between your bumper and the wall. Personally, I prefer to park a few feet away from the wall, so never tried it at a shorter distance. It should work though.

It's mounted 7'-10' high to be detected maximum distance up to 60'-70' (@75F or less). if just detects 10'-20' away that have to adjust sensitivity knob via clockwise to increase its sensing range.
