How sensitive is the motion detection? Would it detect a chihuahua mounted outside on a single story home overlooking a normal sized backyard?

A mounted Chihuahua? Mounted meaning dead and cold and motionless? I t detects my cat at 30 feet .. but then .. he is not mounted. However I must concede that one chihuahua Mounting another, would most likely set it off if you had the the settings dialed in.

I will now buy this product just because these comments made my day. I have two Chihuahuas in the backyard, BTW. Just curious to see what's going to happen. LOL.

Why would you want to mount a chihuahua outside on a single story home in the first place. you might want to consider a doberman on a 50 foot chain on the ground where he can actually do some good.

It certianly senses me mounted about 8 feet off the ground but it does not sense our Pomeranean that is not much bigger than a Chihuahua.

I have to ask why on earth you would have your chihuahua mounted outside on a single story home!

Yes, i have two smaller dogs and it easily detects them teen feet away. Mounted 8 ft vertically.. Not Sue what sensitivity i have it on as the default worked great.

The Motion Detector can send the signal from a backroom of the house to the front porch - when I work at daytime in the yard. The detector and the sensor can be switched to any place practical. Very good battery life of both devices.

Hi ... my light is mounted on a 5' fence to reach up to 45-50' around. I think the maximum motion detection range is about 65', but the higher mounting could increase the distance for motion detection. I suggest you contact the manufacturer for their answer if you need something more precise.

It will alert on a tree or point but not a boundary line. It is a great collar system but it is limited in alot of areas. I have 7 collars and i recommend it for anyone with dogs but no what you need. I have rabbit dogs. Perfect for me. The 2.0 version might alert at a boundary.

Installed mine in a 12 foot high ceiling fixture in the garage. It is not as sensitive as its predecessor but works OK. It has no external sensitivity or timing adjustments. On time is fixed at about ten minutes, but will stay on continuously if continued motion is sensed.

yes it has an excellent motion detection system. very user friendly and customization is easy too. you can turn off actual individual pixels for tree branches that move in the wind etc.....

No. The motion detector detects all movement whether by animal or human so it will activate if you walk past it.

It has motion detection and light sensing. I installed one outside. It only lights when it senses motion at night.

I am not sure how it detects motion , i think it detects sudden changes in light intensity . I have it mounted in the garage facing garage door and about 18 feet away from it and it was detecting motion through the little garage door glass opening. Motion sensitivity is adjustable .

It detects motion very quickly and even 20+ feet away if unobstructed. Once activated it stays on for a few minutes and will shut off if there is no further motion - it stays on as long as it keeps detecting motion. Having the sensor pointing down makes it more sensitive and effective. It's great for garages and porches, as well as closets and places you don't want to fiddle with finding the switch. I'm a big fan of these bulbs as are friends I've introduced to them.

i like it because you don't waste batteries. it comes with a all weather cover so rain does not affect it. you would have to put in on the fence/wall facing the chihuahua down at it's level to work. i works for 25 to 5o feet and it has 3 settings.

Hello. We are happy with the unit and it works quite well. We have it at the top of our stairs and it keeps our two beagles off the second floor. We got the "stubborn dog" correction collars and, since you can vary the level of correction, it works as well as our outdoor invisible fence.

The motion detection is great. I have one mounted inside a walk-in closet. It will come on while walking past the closed slotted closet door, in a dark bedroom. Mounting it horizontally should not be a problem what-so-ever.

Yes, this would work fine for that. In addition to the motion detector, use the window/door sensor... Great idea!

There are some z-wave motion sensors out there that have a setting for pets. monoprice has one, cheap too 30 bucks. Below is from there web site. The sensitivity IS adjustable. The sensor comes with a little black jumper, when you open the sensor you can leave it off or set it to Test, Pet2, and Pet1. You can decrease the sensitivity of the motion sensor so that small pets(PET1) and large pets(PET2) do not trigger the sensor.

The background seems to play some role. But mine will constantly detect humans, deer, dogs, and other small animals at distances of up to 50 feet assuming good battery strength and no signal interference (ie brush and buildings). Much beyond that, detection seems to degrade.

No this unit doesn't have motion detection and only takes a photo when someone presses the doorbell button or you press a button from inside. I can't recommend it and suggest you find another supplier. This unit has marginal quality, mine had dead pixels, and batteries die too frequently.
