Will the sensor detect movement up to 270 degrees from the corner of a structure? I have two seven-foot wide alleys on either side of my garage.

It will detect movement 360 degrees directly below the sensor in an umbrella-type coverage.... Otherwise, It can only detect motion 180 degrees.

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.

I have the sensor nailed to a tree about three feet off the ground. It is very sensitive. I think installed at an angle above the garage would work. The receiver in the house works very well and beeps three times everytime something passes the sensor, could be a car, animal, or garbage man. Do not put the receiver near metal like a microwave it seems to block the radio waves. Also when the transmitter is rained on sometimes you get false readings. I put a plastic shroud over the top made from a yogurt container. Overall I am very pleased with the product and for the price it is a very good value. I highly recommend this product.

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.

I do not believe there are any built in controls for adjusting the angle. I have used tape to block out detection areas on similar sensors. I would recommend getting some white duct tape to place over the parts of the sensor dome where you don't want it to detect movement.

Mine is detecting motion from 35' away from the side of the sensor, which in my case is ideal, while detecting motion from the front of the sensor at about 20' away, again ideal for my situation. It all has to do with the angle with which you set the sensor. You have to play with it a bit, to get the sensor set to the angle that works best for you. Overall, I'm very happy with the light/sensor function and would recommend this fixture!

Yes it should, it's got 2 holes for mounting and moves in both directions. It should be fine for mounting in a corner.

It's mounted 7'-10' high to be detected maximum distance up to 60'-70' (@75F or less). if just detects 10'-20' away that have to adjust sensitivity knob via clockwise to increase its sensing range.

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.

Ahhhh, duh, only if the sensor is able to see motion! You need to ask yourself, can the sensor see any motion, from being covered by the shade? No? Then the answer is No. Who asks some of these questions......

No it will not, you will need to put a virtual wall sensor in that area. You would have to move it yourself.

Hello. I installed one of these sensors in my closet that has an 8' ceiling. It works great!! I really like it! The closet is 10' wide and I installed it in the middle at the ceiling. It picks up motion on both side of the closet as I installed a double set of 5' bifold doors.

Well heck I guess you could put it anywhere really, within range of the sensor. I had it in a window for several days before putting it up and it went off every time I walked by, a distance of a good 3-4 feet or so with a ~45 degree cone. Once I put it on the shed I mounted it directly above the door, and it goes off every time I reach the doors. That height is about 7 feet.

I use one sensor and it alerts me in 2 locations on my property, Bugs running across it can set it off. Needs some light to make it work too.

I have a semi heated garage and I don't seem to have that problem. And I was under the impression that it worked by motion detection.

I had a heated and insulated garage in Michigan and had 2 of these sensors for both sets of doors. They did not trigger unless someone walked into the garage.

My home security guys placed motion sensors lower the ground, then upside down...so the the sensor sees upward from where it's placed. This may work the same way.
