Does this devide discretely detect any activity? Can you use silently to detect any devices in the home when other people are in the room?

No. You really need to shut down the house. It picks up rf so it can pick up electrical lines and other equipment. Its tricky to use as well, but yo even have a chance you need to have an idea whst you are looking for and how to find it. My.02 as someone who used it to try to settle someone's mind.

yes! It willl also detect fans, stereo speakers,refrigerators, other normal household items. But it's biggest advantage is to identify much smaller and less powerful electo-madnetic anomalies such as insects from another sector the light sprectrum - for instance, creatures from the infra-red and ultra-violet sectors and the less powerful energy left behind from ghosts.\Good luck with your meter and have a lot of fun identifying objects other than by the naked eye.

No, there is a separate (included) USB sensor that will detect your motion. I prefer this to save battery life.

I would think so. Probably just an updated version. As as it's hardwired with the other house detectors, no problem

Yes, Pressing the silence button on the detector (Example kitchen) will silence all others. no need to silence each individually. You can press silence on any detector and they will all silence. If you don't know which detector was originally activated (for example a false alarm situation), you can visually check each detector after silencing. The detector that first triggered will be flashing a red LED and it flashes for a few minutes after the system is silenced for you to be able to determine which detector triggered first.

Yes, it is possible to monitor a room that you are not in. Press the lock on the intercom in the room you want to monitor and talk to release it. You won't be able to call or talk to that intercom while the lock is on only listen. I hope that helps.

Depends on how you have it configured. If you have it set to turn the lights on when motion is detected you can either turn it off by pressing the button (it will stay off for a period of time, but not as long as you might like if you intend to hang around) or, as JK in SD suggested, pull the tab at the bottom (which disables the device). I wouldn't treat the tab as a regular solution, and wouldn't buy this product for use in a room where you would regularly like the light to be off (unless manual on occupancy off is what you have in mind). Also, it has a light sensor, so it automatically turns on based on ambient light. Depends on how you have it configured.

Yes, it does. However, it is difficult to use very frequently. I should say that I purchased mine for a wander alarm (to monitor a handicapped person). It went off almost every time they moved, rendering this useless for that purpose. I ended up dumping it and getting a baby monitor which allwed me to watch what they were doing rather than knowing every time they moved! MUCH better solution. Unless you are using it to monitor movement in your driveway, etc.

No, it turns on and off when someone enters and leaves the room. You can also control it from the switch.

I was thinking, if you do find a wireless photoelectric detector, especially one by Kidde, it should work perfectly as you can adjust frequency on each alarm, obviously so a neighbors doesnt match yours as well as for reasons of interference. If you find one, I suggest purchasing one to begin with to test the compatibility. The communications shouldn't be any different in them. Im not sure if you found one already and are just not sure of the compatibility or you simply can't find anything of the sort.

You can. It will detect movement but the setup is difficult. I'm still hit-or-miss with the settings on mine. The instructions are very limited as to what each option you setup in the software.

I have coverage of a basement which is about 15x30 and the sensor is at the back of the room. It alerts on anyone entering the room at the front. I have it connected via the power adapter. It is not Z-Wave, it is Zigbee, and will act as a Zigbee repeater if it is plugged in with the power adapter.

Not to my knowledge. Interesting idea, though. The monitoring unit in baby room broadcasts to the receivers. The receivers probably will not broadcast without modifications.

No, it only alerts the system. You can connect an alarm to a controlled outlet and switch it on automatically when the contact is opened or the sensor is moved
1411734
yes. But we don't suggest you to open motion detection, Because it is power consumption. Without motion detection on, it can still snap photo while visitors press the doorbell.

Yes. There is a test mode which when activated chimes when any alarm is triggered (window, door and motion detector).

It records as soon as someone ring the doorbell. I forgot to check if it does have a motion detector. You can't access the recorded feed remotely. It is meant to show you who's outside the door when your home without peeking at the peephole plus taping it so you know who tried to visit you while you're gone. It is really a fun useful gadget. I have it in my condo in Asia. If you want to access the feed remotely and record it in an sweetdreams card, I have the security camera at the house here for that. And yes, it has a motion detector, light sensor so it can record in the dark etc. pretty much what you wanted. I can't use this in the condo since the association is pretty strict about the common space which I'm perfectly fine with. Have a great weekend.
