Can the Wireless Motion Detector be used outside?

While the unit does work well, I would NOT use the item in an outdoor application. It is not designed for un sheltered environments.

Yes. But if you are putting it where it will be directly rained or snowed on, I would use some silicone sealant/caulking between the two halves of the housing to protect the electronics.

I have used one outside for the past 2+ winters mounted on a tree so it is constantly exposed to the weather. It will work but is not really properly weatherized so I painted mine black and sealed the seams in the case with black plastic electrical tape. This makes it more of a chore to replace the battery but it works fine. I wish they made more durable/better versions of the detectors for this system in more case colors.

I have used it outdoors but unless the source device is also outside the range is pretty limited when the bluetooth signal has to go thru the house wall.

This light assembly does not have a motion detector. This light is also for indoor use only. Therefore, if you need an outdoor motion detecting light, the Ideal SK636 is not the model for you.

No. The motion detector detects all movement whether by animal or human so it will activate if you walk past it.

Yes it's excellent for outdoor light but wont recommend using it for motion-detection.

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.

Mine's hard wired in, but I would think it could be hooked up to a motion detector.

You probably can, however, I kept it outside. The metal box might prohibit the transmission of the wireless signal.

I do not really understand your question. better grammer would be appreciated. This is just a wireless motion detector that has to be added to a full security system. This motion works with Honeywell security systems, VISTA and LYNX systems. So without the investment of the control systems this motion detector is useless. There are some that are self-contained and you should pick one of those if you did not want to get a full system.

I think the manual says it can be used outside. We have only used ours inside.

The camera is powered by a standard outlet. I am not sure if the camera can be triggered on by motion detection. We use it for a continuous live feed. It should work installed behind a glass window. You just might need to make sure to keep the glass clean for a clear image.

I have not used it outside it was great inside the house so to pick up movement and sound you can set the sensitivity and will also email you videos or pictures of was being in the house.

They are wirelessly connected and can be used outside. They are very motion sensitive so I would place them in a spot where there isn't a lot of movement. I have them in my stairway to prevent falls in the dark. It was a great investment for me.

Not without modifying it heavily. It has a motion sensor that keeps it on low until movement is detected.

The outlet has no GFI so using it outside even in a weatherproof box may be a code violation unless the supply feeding the outlet is a GFI breaker. You might need a phase link depending on what devices and phases are in use as the wireless signal to an external outlet might not be good enough. Hope this helps.

I'm sure you can. You only need to purchase or have a good motion detector connected as a switch
