What is the maximum number of motion sensors that can be hooked up to the system?

Mine came with three which I have on the main travel corridors on all three levels on my house. I don't know if you can buy more to add on. Sorry.SEC

Hello Gary, This system can hold up to 99 sensors. So you could have 99 motion sensors, although I do not think you will need that many. Thanks! www.FortressSecurityStore.com

There is no technical limit on the number of 5828s that you can put on a single system. They work on a wireless house ID protocol, meaning that you can add as many as you like to a single system. They just need to be programmed correctly.

We purchased three of these and one with motion sensing. We eventually gave up trying to make the sensing features work. We now have them on a simple switched that our electrician installed

You can have a 6:1 star configuration. That is 6 sensors and one receiver station.

It has motion capture, so no need for extra sensors. Just go into setting and set it to record on motion .

I purchased several motion sensors, and some are able to detect motion at 20 feet and others are only able to detect it at 12 feet (even if I adjust the sensitivity). I also found some units to be more prone to activating false alarms than others. This all points to poor quality control and testing with their production, but most of units have proven to be very good and continue to perform well after 18 months of use.

Nope. Any motion sensing would have to be done in the software. Most modern systems do it this way, these days. Keeps the cost down on the camera, anyway.

I dont think they are an option but the sensors are so small we never notice them or have company comment that they do. I will say this system has been great & our monitoring company is the best. No contracts or commitments to tie you down is the way to go.

I contacted my home security company to get a list of sensors that are compatible with my existing security system. This one was one of those in the list. I would suggest you to do the same.

Yes, but it requires a system to work, it does not work by itself. Here is a discount link http://fbuy.me/_1nu. Additionally this the first version of the motion sensor, the newer systems have a different sensor that only runs on batteries, this can run on batteries or be powered via a USB plug.

I think it handles a combination of up to 16 device on four channels so you can do any reasonable combination you want for up to 4 areas. However, if you want alert mode for some areas and alarms mode for other you will need two base units but if the buy a combo pack it is not much more then a sensor alone so the cost increase is minimal. You can buy the sensors separately as well so you can have a pretty flexible system for not a lot if money.

Two lights on one switch should be no problem. The switch goes to one light which is wired to the second light. Just wire the motion sensor to the first light that is connected to the switch. Once installed the light switch is left on so if anything enters the 110 degree area of the sensor it will turn both lights on.

No it will not increase the number of items per zone and there is no way that they can be increased. This devise only increases the distance between the sensor and the central control unit.

Yes, the receiver accepts up to 4 motion sensors which vibrates and has 4 led lights on the front to identify which one is detecting movement.

I have installed two of these systems in the past two years, one at my brother's house and one at his place of business. The business is a large shop and the office on the second floor is a distance away from the entry door. We have infared sensors and door sensors. I installed another at his house and we have 3 infared sensors and two door sensors and a remote external alarm and are all quite far away from the control. Everything seems to be running okay for now. Good luck!

This system specifically, I am not sure. I used to install systems for an ADT dealer. We used masking techniques to stop false alarms. Basically white electrical tape placed inside the lens of the motion detectors in areas that a cat or dog would be blocks false alarms. You have to take time taping and checking repeatedly so you know what areas actually trigger alarms. Block off stairs and the lower region to about knee height so animals on the ground won't trigger alarms. The location of the motion detectors matters as well. These motion detectors in this kit do not have processors for animals. That type of sensor is much larger having two actual sensors. The system will arm without the motion detectors.

I've not gotten the motion sensing to work very well. but i've not messed with it much. You can use it in anything
