Range and accuracy? Can I stand on the ground and point this thing at the roof of a 2-story house and see where the squirrel is in my soffits?

It cannot see thru walls but might be able to see the way they are getting in. It actually overlays a picture of what you are looking at over the thermal image.

I have taken hot and cold readings at that distance however remember that the soffitt could be releasing heat which might impair your detection of the squirrels body temperature.

No, this unit will not have the resolution to be able to do that. it is nice for the price but to do what you want to do you have to get a more expensive unit.

I don't know how you are going to make it high enough for the squirrels unless you have a big branch you can nail it to . It is great for all my feral cats ,protected from the rain .. You can dig two wholes in the ground put in some cement put in poles then nail the houses on top of the poles The squirrels can clime the poles could work. Good luck

as long as you have the range set @ a distance that includes the exterior (yard) of your house...indoors or outdoors does not matter. It's the number of feet from the controller that determines correction.

if there is an item ( my case a deer or a target ) it is very accurate but a friend was looking for a distance to a spot in a field and it had nothing to bounce the signal off so it wouldn't work. the item has to be vertical and substancial.

I'm not sure Greg. The elevation has considerable adjustment range. However, I zeroed in at 50 yards and haven't touched it since.

I doubt it, but an internet search may prove me wrong. But maybe you can determine it yourself. Line of site and distance are the main keys in getting reception. If you can see the transmitter tower from your roof, you are good. Otherwise, you will have to get the transmitter tower height and topographical maps of were you live to determine the height of your antenna should be. That is given that there are no other obstructions like buildings, hills, and trees are in the line of sight. And don't forget the distance from the transmitter tower.

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!

I have one and the sensor is under the overhang of the run's roof. Works great.

Even a double hanging shepard's hook has a straight pole going into the ground and that is where the baffle attaches-on the pole-so it's usable anywhere, for squirrels who want to get up from the ground. Be advised that the pole needs to be away from surrounding trees, fences, lawn furniture... any surface that can be used as a springboard for jumping onto the feeder. We had a very athletic squirrel who could-and did-leap tall buildings in a single bound. No other squirrel was able to get around the baffle but with our luck... well, finally I gave up and put out food in an aluminum pie tin just for him. Interestingly enough, getting food so easily seems to have bored him; he's not been around lately. This baffle should work fine on any feeder pole you have.

It may be mounted in high places, I have one mounted about 10ft from the ground. It reaches floor level motion about 15 to 18 feet from the sensor at that height. It may be installed at an angle to project the sensor down to the floor at a steeper angle. The only issue with this sensor for me is it picks up a 8 lb cat from 15 feet away. Another sensor is available if pets will be in the area. It requires an alarm to operate. It will work with all Linx Touch 5200 and the Lynx Touch 7000 alarm systems by Honeywell.

It's about 3" tall and 12" diameter. Nor sure about the range. It will go nearly out of sight without any control response issues.

I can verify that it is DEADLY for squirrels.I personally have 'taken care of' at least 40 who thought my backyard bird feeders were for them.I have it sighted in for EXACTLY 70 feet... without the scope, and more often than not, the squirrel is no longer an issue. :)

Yes, I'm pretty sure that this would kill a squirrel. It's not made for squirrels, but it is poison designed to kill small mammals. I don't know how your attic is setup, with insulation or walking spaces. It is designed to attract critters, so you would probably be safe just to toss it up there and hope for the best, or worst.... Depending on your point of view.

I have a single story house and the range was awful line-of-sight. Get something else.

So far the squirrels have gone elsewhere. They had taken over my attic, and trees. I put it on high and I'm having success. Their going somewhere else. I'm not seeing them...MO

It doesn't have a range finder capability. Not sure what the level question in this context is asking. He level works quite well out to at least 25 feet (greatest distance I've tried)

We've only used them for underground voles/moles/gophers for which they are impressive. My dad had raccoons in his attic and hung a bright light 24 hours a day and they left after 48 hours- maybe that would work with squirrels?!
