Will the motion sensor work through glass (for exmaple: through a window)?

Yes, the motion is detected through the camera. The only thing is you may get some reflection from the IR night vision LEDs. The motion sensing is sensitive to light changes so when near a windows it will detect motion if the the sun switches brightness because of clouds. I get lots of snapshots of just light changes, which it ok for my purposes but would not be ok if you where to want an alarm to sound on motion detection. These cameras are sensitive to light since they are made for indoors and it can get too bright for the camera if there is direct sunlight hitting the camera.

Have not tried that. It should if you're careful not to pick up reflections. Make sure the camera lens is shaded.

Yes. The motion sensors can be paired with a door or window in a room. They won't sound the alarm unless both the door or window and the motion sensor is triggered. Pets & people can move through the motion sensor's view without triggering the alarm until the door or window is opened. Then both are triggered and alarm sounds.

Yes, However at night the infired will reflect on the window glass. If there is a screen it will change the clarity.

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".

Thanks for your interests. The window/door sensor can work as the glass break detectors. Because when the glass is broken, the parts of window/door sensor will be seperated, then they will send alarm to main device.

Newer windows have a single glass pane with simulated panels. In that case you can use just one sensor. However if your door does indeed have 10 separate panes, then you would need sensors on the panes within 'arms reach' or the door lock.

Nope. Any motion sensing would have to be done in the software. Most modern systems do it this way, these days. Keeps the cost down on the camera, anyway.

No. The motion detection would be controlled by the DVR. This is a standard analog camera with infrared for night vision.

No it does not. I installed in a large glass fixture and it could not see through the glass. I moved the sensor outside the glass and kept tweaking the sensitivity, but was never able to get it to work correctly. The whole thing is sitting in my garage and I am now installing insteon switches.

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.

My Amzdeal Motion Sensor is located in an unobstructed and works well there. In order to answer your question, I installed it in my bathroom fixture which is the closest thing I have to a recessed ceiling with a white -frosted glass cover fixture. Unfortunately it did not work.

No it does not work like a motion sensor. It does have a light sensor so if the lights in the room are on the nightlight will turn off. The nightlight will also go off if the sensor is blocked by people walking by it. I would really like to find a nightlight that would only come on when you are near 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.

I don't see any screw holes on either the Motion Sensor or the Entry Sensor, and regardless, they won't do any good for a metal window frame. I had to rig the latter to ensure that it would stay in place. No tape is dependable on a cold metal window frame.

Yes, the motion detection will work through a window. The camera take images continuously and compares. If sequential images differ, something moved. You will likely want to turn of the night vision feature because the LEDs will reflect off the widow distorting the images.

If it is an outdoor bulb, yes, it will work no differently. The motion detector simply switches on/off, but the bulb is not part of the equation. ANy outdoor bulb will work if it screws into the socket.

The one I purchased works fine. It does have a very sensitive motion sensor with a wide angle. Check to see if there is any moving object within the swath of the detector.
