for deck? is this an appropriate device to detect if somebody has come up on my deck (at night, to kick in the back door, for instance!)? not driveway

It works great for detecting motion in a narrow beam out from the unit, so if you place it such that the perp has to cross the "beam" to get to your door, then it will work for you. I don't know how it holds up outdoors but I've been using in indoors for over a year to catch a sleepwalker and it works great.

It has more of a narrow beam. For a deck, I might would try something with a broader beam.

I have mine on side gate and a shed. Both give an alert on 2GIG alarm pad and send notice to my phone.

Absolutely. We used it to monitor my Mom's hospital bed. Dad's was right next to hers and it only alarmed when she got up. My Mom is deceased do now we use it for exactly the application you asked about. We keep it on a bar by the front door. It alarms if Dad crosses it to the door, but not while the rest of us walk around the room. Just direct the beam to the area you need as though there is a string from the device to a point across the room. This thing is very much worth the money!

The sensor attaches to the tree or post with supplied screws. Mine was attached to the house under the carport just before you get to the mailbox, you want it high enough were animals won't set it off. Also the sensor it, has a long range. If you point it towards a street it will pick up any vehicle or person that walks within range. It works very well, I can now tell anytime someone walks under my carport. also you can use double sided tape it you put it on something that you can't attach with the screw. Hope this helps.

Yes. I do. The door sensor transmits an open signal and can be read by as many detector/indicators as you want. The range however is limited. My second detector won't work in our bedroom which is at the opposite end of the house, about 50 feet away. So I located it in a spot I would see in the evening a little closer to the doors. If I were you I'd start with one and try it in the places you might want. If it works fine buy another. I like the system. I really thought it was going to be so so because the price was so resonable. It has been completely reliable I the past 6 months.

There is no alarming function or motion detection with this device. When someone pushes the button, it rings the bell, the display turns on allowing you to see who is at your door.

Hi, If you place the sensor outside, I imagine someone could steal it. We use our's inside as a door chime, the chime goes off when someone enters a door.

Yes but I do not recomend buying do to the large number of false alarms even after adjusting to the lowest sensitivity. Do not buy this detector for outdoor or driveway alarm.

Camera Based Motion detection has always been problematic. the best ones let you set specific areas to monitor (like your desk rather that your whole office, or the gate and doorway rather that the whole back yard, etc). I haven't bought this one yet so I don't know if that feature is offered, but it is pretty standard.

No, this light is for security and to record intruders or ?. If you want just spots on your patio this isn't the one you want.As a security light etc it is a great unit

It has a doorbell setting and an alarm setting. I don't think neighbors would hear it. If you have two sensors, one will be single beeps and the other will be double beeps. You will know if it's front or back door.

No, "alarming" is not a motion detector.It's the bell when someone press the doorbell. thanks.

Yes! I have mine set up at an entry door to my house. I get an alert within seconds of motion. Then I can use the app to view the video. At any time you can use the app and see what the camera sees. It's a great investment for peace of mind.

Yes, just make sure that the detector you buy goes the distance. They are different. I bought 2 detectors. First one set up about 450 yards away and then the 2nd one about 100 ydsaway to let me know when someone is closer. I love them !

Don't know about IR. We have on driveway and are looking for an alert when someone pulls in. Can't see end of driveway from house so this is a great security for us. This does trigger all animals so it goes off in the middle of the night sometimes.

I don't think it's a good idea to use it as a home security device. I have put it on the dashboard. It is really good during the daytime, but it is hardly seen on the screen at night. The quality of the recording at night is terrible.

Yes it is a motion sensor. This or any alarm system that does not use window and door sensors will react to motion.
