What is the antenna used for? Does it pick up signals from motion detectors? What is its range?

I believe it sends the control signal to the other units in your house to turn the lights on and off. I'm not sure what the range is, but it certainly works in my split level home.

The antenna is for receiving signals from X10 hand-held remote controls. The CM15A then sends a signal through the house wiring to the intended module. I think motion detectors are plugged-in or wired so they either make noise and/or send signal through the house wiring to an intended device. I don't know the range of the antenna; it sometimes depends on location re: nearby material interference.

the antenna is used to pick-up RF signals from the X-10 remotes [unit codes]it does not work very well [I do not use it]it will not work with any other signals hope this answers your ?

The cm15a antenna is use to pick up commands given by a remote control. I use a wireless 4 button switch plate to turn off lights and other equipment. I also use a hand remote that can control modules. I've never used it with motion detectors. It's range is somewhat limited. Maybe 30 - 40 feet.

It's for the wireless part of the X10 protocol. It picks up signals from X10 motion sensors, remote controls, etc.

The motion detector range is about 15 feet to 20 feet but if you place one in barn the wireless signal should work no problem. Plus I believe Fortress makes a booster panel to increase the signal. Maybe you could mount the booster outside and that would work even better. My furthest sensor is about 80 feet and it works through my house over my garage and shed.

Remember that this is only a motion detector...and it doesn't have a great transmission range...and might not work too well in a metal mailbox. As a motion detector, it'll certainly tell you when the mailbox is open; but then if you leave it open and there's no movement in front of it, it might think that the mailbox is closed.

I never tried to see how far the signal would actually reach, but one of the cameras is located on the back corner of my 48' long house under the eave, and the other is located on the front corner of my house on the same side pointed in another direction, also mounted under the eave of the roof. The monitor/lcd screen is located by a window in a computer room about 15' from the camera in the back, and about 25' from the camera in the front. The reception is indicated by a status bar ( one line -five lines, like a cell phone I guess ) on the screen for each camera. The closest camera in the back shows four bars, the one in the front shows three bars. The antennas on the cameras were moved ( they spin around ) until optimum reception was found.

I do not really understand your question. better grammer would be appreciated. This is just a wireless motion detector that has to be added to a full security system. This motion works with Honeywell security systems, VISTA and LYNX systems. So without the investment of the control systems this motion detector is useless. There are some that are self-contained and you should pick one of those if you did not want to get a full system.

From what I understand, this is for detecting motion and not range. You could (with some MacGyvering) make it work so it stays on while people are in an area and moving around watching it. I can see why you would want to but you'd have to reprogram your tv. I use my SensorPlug in my laundry room, so when I come around the corner with my arms full of laundry, the light kicks on. It then waits through two minutes of non-activity and then opens the circuit.

I'd estimate that it detects movement about 10 feet away. I have it installed over the door and it lights up when i'm about 10 feet from the door.

We got it to use in our camp trailer, We have an antenna on the trailer, however we live in a rural area and where we camp is usually in the mountains and don't get a lot of reception. We mostly use it to watch DVDs.

Yes the motion detector should work for this purpose as well. You will have to choose the correct spot in your driveway to sense the area where you want (the manual will guide you). Great system, should meet your needs.

This is a motion detector, yes it will read through most outside walls and bark when someone approaches, however, if there is movement around the unit it will react then too.

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!

Your question pretty much summarizes it, EXCEPT that their "motion detection" is not what I expected... To me it seems that its not a "PIR motion detection", but rather any kind of movement detection. I got two sets, one for my deck and other one for front - garage etc. If there is a "car" passing by 100 ft away, that turns on the 40 lumens light draining the battery. Works as expected on my deck and they look beautiful when on low powered light.It needs direct sunlight for best charging.

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.

Not really it picks up any type of radio frequincy though like in my car no radio no activity turn on radio then there is activity-also goes off major at traffic light cameras and convient store camera, as far as finding any hidden pin hole cameras i have not

It senses the vibration of the vehicle. I agree with previous, if answering a call outside the vehicle, the unit will pick up. Rough guess, would say 50-75 feet away.

No it is not a motion detector. You can however add 2 more transmitters to it. The indicator light will show which transmitter is going off. This way you will know what door your company is at. Hope this helps you. I am very pleased with mine.

Yes it has an antenna. No, do not expect it to work from a half mile. If you want a long distance alarm you'll have to get a very expensive alarm. This one however is FANTASTIC for the price. Easy to use and install and very loud. I loved it. Want to get one for my R6. But yeah it's not got the greatest range, although it all depends on your surroundings, right? City won't be as good as the country.
