can sensitivity be adjusted on this? i want to set one up in my driveway and would like this to pick up people, but not small animals like cats.

Your best bet is to mount the transmitter high enough off the ground say 3 to 4 feet or more so that it will not detect the cats walking under it. This unit is one of the best out there for it's price and reliance. Well worth the money!

no - not that I'm aware of - I have 4 medium size dogs and it has only picked them up one time to date .

Not a real variable type of sensitivity, just one stronger than another. In either case, if an animal gets close enough, this will pick it up. Not sure which, if any, unit could avoid it. This is a good unit though, mine is mounted 300 feet from house and has never failed.

Yes, there is a sensitivity adjustment on the unit, but not in the sense you are talking about. The unit will come on regular sensitivity and this is a low and high setting. If you don't want to pick up smaller animals, make sure to mount the unit high enough so that the small animals will not pass through the detection area. You can also stop the detection "beam" by aiming the transmitter at a solid object across from it. The transmitter puts out a "beam" 50' and at it's widest, the detection area is 2'x2'.

If you position the unit low enough you may pick up animals that enter the field. We have a small dog that when he runs down the driveway we hear it beep, which for us is good.

There is an adjustment screw on the sending unit that will increase sensitivity. I would try that before digging it up. The owners manual is online to assist in locating the adjustment screw.

I believe if you push it into the ground as far as it will go the sensor will pick upa skunk moving along the ground==we use ours for deer so I'm not positive,but I know my German Shepherd sets it off every time she goes near it!

The sensitivity settings are adjustable. We have ours set to the most sensitive setting, and movement picks up at close to 50 feet. Overall angle of sensitivity is about 120 degrees (in the real world) of width though the wider 'angles' are less sensitive than when movement is captured straight on if that makes sense.

I am not sure about this one...I have this set up in locations that are outside and get triggered easily. My inbox would be crazy overloaded if I had this enabled. Not sure of the capabilities on that area...sorry not much help.

It is real sensitive to a line the three metal rods and balance the food tray. Do so where you want the trap to sit. It is so sensitive, you can not set it and carry it to where you want to put it. I have two of them and they both have caught mice.

Dear SirI'm sorry that I've never used it outdoor myself but it has a controller to adjust the sensitivity on itI have only used in my basement. My advise is if you have some times to spare before the wedding,why don't you order and test it in person and if it doesn't meet your requirement, then you can simplyreturn it to get the refund. As a reference, It seems that many people do not know the fact that this unit has a Controller Knob to adjust the sensitivity on it. I myself also found it later after using some days.

You cannot adjust the length of the detection sensor, however it has a switch for low, medium or high sensitivity. You can also move the sensor if it is aimed at an area where there is constant movement and it gets triggered a lot.

I'm not sure. We use it for problematic cats and to deter nasty neighbors from letting their dogs crap in our yard.Inside the repeller there is a mechanism to adjust the ultrasonic tone, depending on what animal you want to scare away. It shows you a range for cats/dogs, rodents, etc. I think you'd be able to do experiment until you found the perfect tone. If you have a county agricultural extension office you may want to get their advice on the frequency. But I think the device is pretty self-explanatory and it *should* work for you. I could hardly believe how effective it was against cats and dogs. I think once you get the right frequency you won't have any problems. I'm not sure.

The sensitivity of the motion sensor is definitely available. The angle of the sensor can be adjusted. I think when you adjust the sensitivity that you also affect the range. The is a great light. I've installed two of them and have had no problems. It's bright and its very reliable.

I have mine aimed in the general direction and it works just fine - if you have just purchased unit I would experiment with it before anchoring transmitter. A couple of reminders - change batteries once a year and set your sensitivity to max . Setting sensitivity is really simple - call Rodann and they will tell you how- they are very nice and helpful.

Probably not. I purchased two of these to use in the garage (unobstructed by anything) and they don't always operate normally, I have to wave my hand in the air to try to get to go on. These are just not sensitive enough, lol

actually, no. you cant adjust the sensabliity, but you CAN adjust the sensitivity.

Motion sensors are not too sensitive, specially in the case of small pets. Try factory setting first, it should work fine.

You can adjust the sensitivity of the motion sensors, but I wouldn't recommend giving the pets access to areas where you are placing your motion sensors.

I don't know exactly what the problem is, there may be an adjustment knob for sensitivity. I but bought two of these a year ago and found their performance very disappointing. I returned them for a full refund. They are just too light weight.
