Can you adjust the sensitivity of the motion sensor like other, similar products?

In terms of how sensitive it is to motion? While I am not 100% certain, I don't believe so. There is only one dial that I am aware that you can control. That dial allows you to adjust the time that it remains on. I'll double check and update if I can tell it is otherwise.

No only the time the light stays on, I just pointed it down a little in Test mode and walkers around the back yard to see when the light would turn on. It is a very bright light ,it covers a huge area (180 degree angle), it would go off at just about any angle if you just moved one foot in the 180 degree motion active area.

No, but its intensity does change depending on the amount of light that it is hitting the sensor.

Thanks for all the replies. I've gotten used to it so it's not a deal breaker for me. I guess I did not pay close attention to the description and I assumed it had a light sensor as well as the motion sensor.

The sensor is VERY sensitive. I have one mounted under the kitchen counter. I had to use black electrical tape to block about 95% of the sensor, to keep it from activating when getting near the counter. The tile back splash was reflecting my movements from a few feet away.

There is an adjustment screw on the sending unit that will increase sensitivity. I would try that before digging it up. The owners manual is online to assist in locating the adjustment screw.

I'm sure you can. You only need to purchase or have a good motion detector connected as a switch

Yes sure. Just put down the sensor a little bit, and it catch it. The sensor es very sensitive.

Yes, it is motion activated. You can choose the mottion sensitivity from low, normal, and high.

Yes, you can adjust the sensitivity. And for me it keeps dogs out of my yard and also worked last summer in keeping bears away from my garbage cans.

We purchased three of these and one with motion sensing. We eventually gave up trying to make the sensing features work. We now have them on a simple switched that our electrician installed

I have two --- one works great on motion sensor. The other has proven very difficult to get the settings right. I would not recommend unless you have a lot of patience.

Yes it should come with a motion sensor setting. You can select and program each camera in the settings menu.

I returned the light as it didn't have the option to change the motion sensor.

I don't think there is a sensitivity adjustment but take a look at the position of the sensor relative to the sunlight. If it gets in a shadow earlier then that might trigger it on. With the really low power consumption an hour either way is not going to cost you much anyway.

Add to my previous answer, the motion sensor is adjustable in all directions to aim at the angle you'd like

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.

I've not gotten the motion sensing to work very well. but i've not messed with it much. You can use it in anything
