Would this work on a bedroom door to monitor dementia patient's movement from the room?

Yes. It would monitor any movement in the room. We have it on the porch and it even monitors a bird flying by.

Yes but almost works with a line if sight. Meaning they have to almost see each other. Mine was used for an apartments porch. As i was on the first floor and wanted some warning if someone came on the porch itself. The alarms are quite loud. The chime sounds like a chime and the klaxon like a klaxon. Good luck with your purchase

Just be sure t place the system where the patient would walk in front of it.

It depends on the placement of the device. It has a pretty good range - I ised it so that the nurse could be alerted

I do not see why not. However, it will not work with light relay, that is resistance based. Motion detector should work.I have it in a reading lamp/night light in the kids room.

If your intended use is at night, the answer would be "probably". I have not found that the metal "attractant" in this device is very effective. Its works mostly through the blue light. Ergo, the brighter the environment is, the less effective it is. I like for indoor use overnight since the home is dark and this device's light is the brightest source of light in the house.

you could use it just as well, the waterproof is only on the top side but so far I find it works well with a dementia spouse. It does not make a noise and seems comfortable enough.

Yes, the door sensor should work on all doors, as long as contact is made the alarm will arm.The motion sensor might be a problem with large clear balcony /clear doors, quick moving shadows or car headlight at dusk might set off the motion sensor. Keep the motion sensor away for large doors and windows and you should be fine.We have the unit for 3-4 years and it worked perfectly, because we have walked into the house few times without turning off it first and it scared us each time ;)

No - install on the wall and when turned on with fob it's alarm is motion activated.We used it to alert us when dad was getting out of bed. He had Alzheimer's.

It definitely would! Its pretty sensitive and covers a wide field because I mounted it to the ceiling, due to not having anything on the side of doorway to attach it. But it should work perfectly.

My experience is that it works pretty well installed on a door frame. I have installed the motion sensor light about 16 inches above eye level and it comes on each time I pass the doorway.

My Dad is 81 years old and uses it. It works well for him. He likes it and isn't terrified by it. I would compare it to a watch alarm.

I would not recommend it for that. There is more specialized equipment for that. This is primarily for the detection of luminaires. I use it in construction because when doing night work you have to meet a certain criteria.

I would say so, It does a great job of finding nails and screws in plaster and lath walls. Their instructions should work well for what you are doing. Wide scan for general area and then focus it in on the specific spot.

it should, but I use mine in a small make shift room (bedroom) so there is a enough light bouncing to trigger it. not sure if it will work in a large room (garage) or studio.

Have used it successfully within range limits for dementia patient. Works in supermarkets, parking lots, etc. Recommend a medic alert bracelet signifying dementia and phone number.

I think they consider 4 feet away to be ideal. You should also note the detector will only work on panel doors (you mount it on the top panel) and not solid one piece doors the swing upwards or carriage style.

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!

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.
