how far does it detect motion?

Not sure, They operate under counter lighting in my kitchen, basically if I move anywhere downstairs the lights will come on at least 30 feet, and probably further.

15 to 20 feet sometimes. Other times, less than 10. I am very happy with it.

Thats a very good question... The glass is not clear so I'm not sure if the sensor would be able to detect motion at all times.

The sensor detection range is 16ft-26ft. The transmitting distance between sensor and receiver is about 394ft/120m.

According to product details... "It will be in "dim light" mode until it senses motion; when sensing motion it will activate the "bright light". "Bright light" turns off 10 seconds after motion stops. Detects motion within 10 feet - 120 degree angle.

The motion detector always activates at 30 feet but sometimes at 50 feet. Intervening branches probably interfere. I'm very happy with picture quality, battery life, and with this camera overall.

I purchased several motion sensors, and some are able to detect motion at 20 feet and others are only able to detect it at 12 feet (even if I adjust the sensitivity). I also found some units to be more prone to activating false alarms than others. This all points to poor quality control and testing with their production, but most of units have proven to be very good and continue to perform well after 18 months of use.

Easley 20 feet plus, I am about 30 feet back from the street, and I have to point the sensor down a little to keep the cars on the street from turning my light on. The manual says 50 feet, and I have no doubt it will detect from 50 feet. To date, I am totally satisfied with this unit, even at -5 degrees F this detector functions perfectly, better than any other motion detector I have ever had. Mine did not come with an ezplate, as I only ordered the sensor.

The Motion Detector is a separate item. The bell has an outside button and you can place the bell within 33 feet of the doorbell part. You can also adjust the sound which is good.

For us it worked around 500 ft. First, it shows direction where to go, then closer you approach the object - cat, dog, or just an empty collar :-( - the signal becomes stronger, you will hear where to look. Very simple to use and was very helpful for us. The only thing I will recommend - change batteries yearly.

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.

Can set the unit to view a broad angle which limits its distance. Don't recall how far that detects. The beam setting can detect up to about 50' as I recall. I use the beam all around my property. To limit the distance I aim the beam at a tree trunk, wall, run the beam into the ground or other ways. You could aim it at a power box or shrub. Does a wonderful job. I tried many different detectors and this is the only one reliable and durable. Have had one receiver and 6 detectors for nearly 10 years mounted outside. Not a failure yet. Batteries last a year or more. I use the cheapest alkaline I can find.

Yes it does have Motion Detection, when connected to TV you can adjust your Settings to your Needs....Very Good Product..

I'm only using it as a camera connected to DVR. I have not used any other features that may be on the camera. I am unaware that it has motion detection built in. Regards

It will detect/trip on any movement in its field of range. You can adjusted so it will aim high enough not to to cover the floor. Better yet, you can just set the alarm in "HOME" setting , just like if you're home , then the motion detector becomes inactive, just your contact alarm.

Bracket is attached to the unit. Sensor wire is about 15ft. Detects about 30 feet. Haven't done much testing.

You can adjust the sensitivity of motion detection with the software on your DVR, but I've found that when you set it to be sensitive enough to pick up motion at long range that it ends up recording almost all the time. Especially at night when there are bugs flying around. I haven't measured but it appears that during the day motion activation works best at around 10 to 30 feet.

It's not motion detected; it's turned on/off via remote control and stays on until you turn it off. I love it!
