Will it work behind an Apartment Window facing porch? I mostly want it to deter possible prowlers.(Retirement Home Apartments) No security.

My only answer is.....no it does not have any alarms, but it does send a constant red flashing light. Unless the prowler is brave enough to actually take the chance that this is not sending a signal, I think it will serve as a deterant.

NO it deters critters check walmart ...there are cheap alarms you can set to trip when you open a door or window

It will alert you if some one tampers with the vehicle only with the two way remote once its within range. but it will not stop a thief from smashing your window n stealing stuff. It just might make them think twice wen they see u have an alarm system..

I'm believe that it just picks up on the window that it's on. But I have an alarm tired to my other windows. But it does work great. Gives me a since of security

Unless you have an AC unit, I do not see how this will prevent someone from gaining access by removing the mesh, and manually removing both pieces from the outside facing window.One will be facing outside, for the intruder to unscrew himself.

It might work for that, I use it outside to keep the cats off of our cars and it is not very effective. I think using it in a close proximity would be effective.

It should not interfere with a security system. I would look into your security system for a temp alarm, unless you are using this in an out building.

Having it inside will delete part of the security function. When it's located inside, it can't detect when someone is approaching your door, a window or your mail box. It would work best to have it outside, even close to your door pointed in whichever direction would be best for your situation. We have another brand in our front yard pointed at our driveway and we can tell when anyone approaches. Of course, sometimes it sounds when the wind blows through the trees or a cat or other animal walks by and that's a bit bothersome. This one was bought early for a Christmas present. I hope this helps! Having it inside will delete part of the security function. When it's located inside, it can't detect when someone is approaching your door, a window or your mail box.

No I don't believe it will work that way. The light will be dim, and go brighter when motion is detected. I don't believe you can cover up the motion sensor without also covering up the Day/Night sensor as well, as it's all behind the same sensor "window".

Yes. Have one behind my sofa and it works. You do need to be closer than with line of sight.

I have mine connected to a small video camera with infrared lighting mounted high on an exterior wall, and use it to see who is at my door. I have a toggle switch on the power wire and I only switch it on when someone is at the door or if I want see if I have a package that has been left on my porch. It works great for that purpose.

You might have motion detection issues if the lamp is behind a white-frosted glass cover, but I have no way of testing. I mounted mine in a recessed can-style porch fixture though, by using an adapter - the kind that adds two outlets to a light socket, with a chain pull switch (which I leave on for this application).

I just put a couple of screws in the window frame. It works well. No intruders.

They have to either touch or paper-thin close to it. The plate is mounted so it can swivel a tad to properly align. I wouldn't use it for security on a fence, as all that is required to stop it is to cut the power.

No. For me to decrease the area being monitored I have it facing my home instead of away from it. Try that if feasible for you. Mine is on a tree facing the front of my house.

I believe the design is to place it on the glass. I do not believe it would work on the side of the window due to the window track that raises the window. The item folds flat to let the window riise when it is on the glass. I think this would slow down someone who is trying to jam the lock ion the window. Should someone be able to open the lock form the outside, he would still be unable to raise the window. I believe it would slow down someone trying to come in through a window. Placed in the corner of the window, it is not that noticeable.

Just make sure you hide it properly. The element of surprise will usually catch a person and move away. There's a magnet on the alarm it sticks pretty good if not use those gray packing tape.

We put ours too close to the entrance of our circle drive and it usually failed to alert for cars coming in if they drove close to that side. It never failed to alert on cars exiting the driveway. The range is really good so if you have room place it a few feet back.
