How far from does someone have to be from the monitor before it detects them?

Mine is set only 6 feet from the door. I am sure it would work at 20 or more feet from the door. It does not work by detecting movement in a room. You will need to find a fixed location so it can have the door or window you are trying to protect in view. It could even be aimed so you could view multiple door or windows. Once you have it set up it will detect if the door or window frame changes (because it has been opened) and will begin recording.

My cam at the front of the house pointing to the front door can be triggered by traffic on the street which is 15 to 20 feet away, you can adjust the sensitivity to make it more or less sensitive to movement and create zones that are the areas that trigger the camI have been very satisfied with the two I have and plan to get another

There's a sensitivity level you can play around with. At a sensitive setting, my camera picked up dust flying by it in the middle of the night. I think the AC kicked in and blew some dust and the infrared was able to detect it. As long as it detects motion within the range you pick, it will start recording (you have 2 different ranges you can set).

It's kind of from the camera to infiniti (as far as the camera can see). Varies with the amount of light the camera "sees" + the size of the object in motion. One camera we have set can detect motion from about 40 to 50 feet away, with light from passing cars on the street further than that, maybe 60 feet. It records 10 seconds before the trigger event, then as long as there is motion to record. It has also recorded small moths that has flown in front of the camera (unexpected sensitivity). VERY pleased with this product & it's capabilities inside our home.

Hi you set it up in camera set up zone 1 or 1/2 you can just set zone 1 to cover the full camera vue or a small part of the zone eg just the gate or the full area !! You can have it spot a cat or a person by adjusting the sensetiverti of the setting on your computer hope this helps !! This is a good system for the price and I've changed my full system to this from £1000 cameras ??

I don't know for sure what you mean by auto-detect. However, the monitor does turn ON only when the computer is ON if that is what you mean.

Yes, it can detect people. The product is a infrared sensor not a motion detector. Anything that gives off the heat signature it will detect. It could be a person or the exhaust of a vehicle or a deer. Anything that gives off heat that is different than the ambient air temperature will set off the alarm.

Works great except I do not use it the way you're describing. It sits above the computer monitor facing the user maybe 3-4 feet away from user.

if it says "out of range", you need to press the power button on the camera for three seconds. That will sync the camera and monitor (this took me about an hour to figure out).

It's mounted 7'-10' high to be detected maximum distance up to 60'-70' (@75F or less). if just detects 10'-20' away that have to adjust sensitivity knob via clockwise to increase its sensing range.

One additional point. One good thing...There is a status indicator that shows when there is interaction/interference from any source and how much (the more interference the more the status light blinks...where there is none, it stays off)...I actually used it like a homing device to find the right area with the least amount of interference. Without it, I probabably would have pulled my hair out trying to locate the sources of interference.

I wouldn't recommend it. The wire has to be low enough so the intruder wouldn't see it, but even if it's missed it would have to touch bare skin.

I tested this tonight. It appears to be about 3/4 to 1 inch from the sensor.

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.

The furthest I have used it is leaving the monitor upstairs. The receptor picks up the frequency downstairs loud and clear.

Only when more than 5-6 feet from the receiver. Otherwise, no problem. Disappointing if you plan to hook your laptop up to a big tv and sketch from a distance.

It's motion activated within 8 feet. If you place the device on your desk, it should only go off if they get on the desk.

I depends. In my house, I have one camera up to 80 Ft away from the monitor without any reception issues even with some walls between them.

It depends on the angle. If they're behind you- even from a couple of feet, they can see the screen

This is a mobility detector. If anybody is about 1 meter from the vehicle it will actvate your car alarm system. It is not an alarm system, it is just an additional device to the car alarm system.

It's an IR remote, so you need a line of sight to the sensor on the camera. No need to be directly in front of the camera, but the sensor has to see the remote. I haven't checked the actual range.
