will motion sensor works thru windows?

no it hasn't when i have tried, it seems to need significant motion to activate so unless you have very thin clear windows i doubt it will work, mine are tinted due to the heat so this may have affected my results

As long as the sensor does Not have anything i.e.- glass in its way it should work fine.

It would have to work only on a slot mailbox that has some type of mechanism that allows the motion sensor to be moved. I use a "driveway alert" fixed motion sensor that is perfect. When the mail is dropped into the slot, the mail slips past the sensor and it triggers the "alert" to send a signal to the receiver in the house.

It would work indoors to detect motion, however not for lights being activated..

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.

The window sensors only work when someone tries to open the window. Some systems also have 'glass breaker' detectors if someone tries to break the glass, but I don't like those as any vibration can cause them to trigger.

Motion sensor functionality is usually a feature of the dvr you use, not the camera. That said, my DVR has motion sensing and the feature works fine with this camera.

Yeah it will work. I end buying one too cuz the motion sensor wasn't that much cheap

Probably will not work as it's a motion sensor. If the shade impairs the sensing, it won't work. The sensor is in the black band.

Probably not. The frosted glass plate may block the motion sensor from detecting objects.

yes, I'm currently setup for it to do that, completely without pc. it can set schedule and sensitivity for motion detection and email them it also have a web interface which is 200% better than the app it come with in the cd. however its motion detection is software based, so it'll misfire frequently when there's change in lighting, or camera pan, etc

Yes I have two doors a window and a moton sensor all on one unit the receiver is in the living room. Then I bought a second receiver and put the same 4 devices programed in it, in the bed room. This way I can montor all 4 sendors in two places. The only problem is if someone leaves the door open the unit will sound until that door is closed. However it will still monitor the windows while the doot is open. There are 4 leds on the receiver and the door will flash and the window will flash, if thew are both open. I hope this helps. Ernie

Yes, it would work fine. The sensor is located in the post and below the light fixture. The frosted glass therefore will not affect the sensor's ability to detect motion. It can be set to come on at dusk for the amount of time you set. It works perfectly and mine is one of the best purchases I have made.

yes. it can work through a window. jus make sure there is nothing blocking the signal. like a painting on the glass etc.

I previously answered yes by mistake. The outside motion detector flashes but not the inside monitor.

I am not sure that would work. I think this device uses temperature changes to detect movement. For example, I have this right next to my front door. If I open the door (and it opens into the sensor) nothing happens, as soon as my body is clear from the door then the device detects something. Perhaps something using the contact closure module will be more effective.
