Would this work indoors to detect someone leaving? Does it go off when a light is turned on or off?

Julie, I think it could work indoors but would not work when lights are turned off and on.

Hi Julie, yes is will work indoors or out and will work in full light or dark.

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

I never had a need to use indoors. I only know that it wasn't worth the price when I tried it outdoors.

It will detect each and every person or animal that walks in front of it, no matter whether they are coming or leaving. Most likely, an ordinary porch light will not trigger it, a very large yard light might, depending on where the sensor is aimed.

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 from the first one I got it seem there is an option for "L" switch for Light fixture Outlet usage and "O" for not light usage. "L" switch will sense ambient light and not turn on while "O" will turn on the outlet when it detect motion. My seem bad I order a replacement as it not sensitive on my garage. There is a timer to set from 2 minutes to up at max at 6 minutes.

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.

Yes, that is correct. It has a built in motion detector. The light will come on when it senses any motion and turn off after the prescribed amount of time (I think its 10 mins).

The bulb has a motion sensor, not a light sensor. I use mine in the laundry room so that when I come in carrying a full basket, I don't have to fumble for the light switch. It works day and/or night. For the outdoor post light, next to my driveway, I have a light sensor bulb (not from ChiChinLighting) that I leave on 24/7. It goes off at dawn and on at dusk. That's the type of bulb you want, unless you can find a light bulb with BOTH a motion sensor and light sensor so that it only comes on when it senses movement at night.

The lights respond only when there is sufficient darkness and movement, such as walking up or down the stairs at nighttime. It is definitely not a mere motion detector. They do not respond unless it is sufficiently dark on the stairs. They shut off automatically approximately 45 seconds after passing the last light fixture. We are very pleased with the lights!

No, this is a motion sensing light meaning it turns on whenever it senses motion. It does not have any sensor related to if it is night or not. If you put it in a fixture that control whether it turned on if it was night or not it would likely work but the bulb itself is only motion sensor meaning it turns on with motion and turns off after around 60 seconds without motion.

Hello, I have no idea, was just curious about the item and thought I could use it to possibly track down a wall switch that goes nowhere in our house. turn off all breakers but the circuit the switch is on and check for a signal thru the wall with the switch on and follow it, have not tried yet. Just checked around a few wires and it does sense the electricity. I think the deal on it detecting cameras is that you can see the infrared with it or something. Have not had time to really check, it may just be a barely useful gimmick. But I hope I can trace the wire. It may make a cool kinda selective sensitivity signal tracer.Peace!

The light will stay on indefinitely as long as there is movement. It will shut off after 30 seconds of no movement.

It will light up when a motion detected, otherwise it's dark. If a customer want to use it as security, the light can be covered with black tape.

I believe it stays on until turned off, or until the garage opens/closes. It doesn't turn off on me while working in the garage, which was the sole purpose for buying this, so I wouldn't have to go open/close the door to get the light to come back on...

Lol,it's best you turn the light off so they don't know it's coming. It won't tase if the light is on.

after a second or two yes. I recommend this to lots of my clients! If you have movement inside your home it will go off. If you have motion in that space I would not buy this.

Yes sir for as long as you keep your hand moving inside the cupboard, the light sensor activates by movement and heat dissipated from your hand and shuts off shortly after you close the cabinet. I have two and they work fine just by passing my hand under the light

It is not a motion detector light. Not sure how long the light will stay on, but I have had them on for at least four hours and they worked fine.

Depends on how you have it configured. If you have it set to turn the lights on when motion is detected you can either turn it off by pressing the button (it will stay off for a period of time, but not as long as you might like if you intend to hang around) or, as JK in SD suggested, pull the tab at the bottom (which disables the device). I wouldn't treat the tab as a regular solution, and wouldn't buy this product for use in a room where you would regularly like the light to be off (unless manual on occupancy off is what you have in mind). Also, it has a light sensor, so it automatically turns on based on ambient light. Depends on how you have it configured.
