I use my headlamps working with livestock. How far away does motion have to be to NOT activate the motion sensor?

Robin,Hmmmmm... it depends what you're doing and what you're looking at, or into with it. LOL! No.just a few inches, so you csn waive your hand in front. If you're a milkin' you might have a problem, but you don't need a headlamp for that - go by feel! LOL.Hey, hang on here comes a longhorn - I'll check. Nope, Robin you're good to go. I stood two feet in front and it didn't activate, but then again he could't get his hoove high enough to turn it off, so maybe it's not a fair test!Ken

You have to wave right in front of it. If you are close enough to be swatted by a tail, that would turn your light on / off. Other than that you don't need to worry about it.

You have to run your hand directly in front of it. Pretty close to the lamp it's self so if you are working on something an arms length away it should not mess with the sensor. But sometimes when I am gasing machines at my job I toggle the sensor.

I do know that if something is five inches or closer and you have the light in the motion mode it will shut off. So it can be frustrating at times when you may move your head when repairing something and the light shuts off. This light is well worth the money. Any time you can use hands free lighting it makes life so much easier.

Depending on the location of the camera, I have gotten between 60 and 90 feet for the motion detector to activate. The quality of daylight pictures is very good and the night quality is good as well.

I don't think so, Richard. The device is equipped with PIR (passive infra-red) motion sensors that trigger audio playback at a distance of up to 12 feet. Any motion caught in the field will automatically set off the device after a 3 second delay.

Ahhhh, duh, only if the sensor is able to see motion! You need to ask yourself, can the sensor see any motion, from being covered by the shade? No? Then the answer is No. Who asks some of these questions......

I dont know the exact range but my lights will detect motion at least 20 feet away

yes it can be activated by animals passing the motion detector anytime of day. One thing to be certain of is to keep the line of sight clear. I once parked my car in between the receiver and the motion detector and it did not work. Otherwise it is fantastic to give a heads up that someone is coming up the driveway. Mine is more than 100 feet from the house and on the wrong side of the tree it is mounted on.

That's a really good question! I have no idea. Depends on where the sensor is.

Hi Dr. B, I don't have any four-legged animals in my home so I can't answer but the following information is taken from the operating sheet that came with the Ivation 8-LED Automatic Sensor light. First, the Sensor Night Lamp automatically switches on its heat-motion technology to sense motion and turn on the night-light automatically. There's a switch whereby you can set it to constant on, automatic or off. Since it's heat-motion driven, a trouble-shooting item if the sensor's sensitivity appears low including checking that the room temperature isn't too high as the sensor's ability to respond may be lessened. And if the sensor doesn't shut off automatically, check that there isn't a continuous heat source in front of the night-light, that warn air isn't circulating across the front of the night light, or check your batteries. The Specification says, that the detection angle is 120-degrees. I'd like to mention that the light itself isn't a rotating type of light fixture. It is round and flat on the rear panel so it would be flat against the wall, the height that you wish to position this light should be pretty much whereby your best estimate makes a warm-blooded person or animal a viable "target". The instruction sheets lists the Technical Support as: Hipe USA, 2 Bergen Turnpike, Ridgefield Park NJ 07660, or email: support@hipeusa.com Perhaps you could field your specific questions via directly to them. Good luck!

No. 1st night in service I flipped on the outdoor flood light and discovered 4 Blacktail deer munching grass 20' away from this device. They had not been exposed to this before. It's a bit irritating blinking all night. I wonder if it would be more effective if it had a motion detector on off function, like most solar LED security lights.

Sorry, I can't help you. Since the motion detector is ultrasonic, we can't hear it. Not sure if it is keeping the deer away or not. We are in the process of replacing the batteries this weekend and are hoping for the best. The deer have thus far out smarted just about everything we do to keep them away. Good luck.

Since the scope has a battery powered red dot the motion sensor technology turns off the light if no motion is detected. A great way to prevent you putting away the rifle with the scope left turned on.

The remote is a direct line of sight so the remote has to point directly at the sensor. That being said mine has worked at about 4-8 feet away.

Since it is an optical slave trigger (the red dome on top of the light), it depends entirely on the ambient light. If you are outside in bright sunshine, the slave sensor may not trigger the light at all. If you are in a dark theater, you could be more than 100 feet away. My advice would be to get a radio-trigger setup; those are generally good up to 100 feet with no obstructions (line of sight).

We are using the sensor at the front door and do not want everyone on the sidewalk (40 feet away) to turn-on the porch light. We know that when set to minimum it is 20 feet, but we do not know the range of maximum setting.

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

comfy... re: range of motion... at 20' and at the most, 30', my sensors still work. I believe that if you use the best batteries you can find.. you should not have a problem.

On any average day if movement is located directly in the center of the screen it can pick up movement as far as 35 meters. Coinsidently, it also seems to be activated by noise as well, for example a car with a very loud exhaust system can trigger the camera to turn on without it even being within view. Only downside ive seen so far is that moths will trigger the camera at night, so you will have an hour or so of nothing but bugs. Hope this helps.
