I am thinking of using this on the door for safety. Does the unit shine a visible laser beam at night?

No. There is a small red light that is on the sensor. It blinks when activated. No visible light like a night light,
576302
NO not a red beam, it has a small red light on outside until when motion is detected. Works very well for me.

There is a light on the receiver and a red light goes on and off along with a buzzer noise you will know when it goes off. We bought the duel pack and wish we new which receiver goes off. We have them in two places.
576304
No it just indicates with a red flashing light when there is someone in the area.

No, it does not have a laser light that shines. It does have a light on the transmitter that blinks when it is activated.

If you have the knob in the on position, and you have the batteries in correctly, then yes, you'll see it just like a laser pointer. Look in and see if you can see a red glow without pointing it into you eye of course. If you see a red glow inside, but no laser pointing out, try adjusting the beam, it may be way off and pointing at the inside of itself. If all of the above is ok, and you don't see a red glow inside, then it is most likely defective.

No. It has a few red lights that come on. Very quickly. They won't see it unless looking directly at it. The video option makes the light come on longer. I wouldn't get this one for your purpose. Get a blackout one. More expensive but will work better for thieves. Or put it up high pointed down.

It is just a laser, but a very bright one very easily seen in bright daylight. I am well pleased with mine.

No, it does not. However, it is compatible with a night vision add on. Essentially, the red dot dims so you don't get blinded by the night vision device when it amplifies ambient light and or utilizes IR.

It has a red beam I noticed at night, technically not sure if its laser or infrared.

When the light is activated without the alarm, the light does not provide light like a flashlight. It does provide a sufficient amount to do small tasks such as finding your house key in the dark. When the alarm is activated, the strobe is a similar amount of light as above but not a beacon! On a pitch black night, it is very visible. I live on a small island and I faithfully wear the alarm as I bike at night. I believe that it is a valuable tool that may prevent me from becoming a victim of criminal activity. The sound this small unit provides is loud enough and attracts a lot of attention. It is difficult to put all of your confidence in such a small device for protection but I can tell you that I feel a lot more secure carrying this alarm than not. The battery (9 volt) lasts a long time and I check it frequently to make sure it will work when I need it. I personally would prefer that it did not have a strobe light because the device itself becomes easier to see when it is activated. This may allow someone to throw it or put the cord back in to stop the alarm. I think their first thought, however it to get the heck out of there!! I have never been sorry that I bought the alarm and in fact, buy them as gifts for many of my friends.

Yes the light has a solid beam and a strobe mode. The part i found to be a flaw is the housing for the lazer adjustment screw is plastic. The screw housing on mine has striped and my laser will not stay sited in. I use it for the 2 light modes.

NO it doesn't, just click it on after you mount it and let it do what it do. I mounted one on my shed and I have trees covering that area, so just daylight itself is good enough.

I have one of these in my kitchen and it works as a great nightlite. I also have one in my bedroom and it is behind a door so the light is not so bright as to keep me awake. I think, for me, if it was not part way hidden it would be bright enough to keep me awake. I have not ever had to use it during a power failure yet. So I can't say how long it would stay lit.

Yes, it has its own light when the door is open and when the thing is use. Plenty bright but not annoyingly so. Hope that helps

No.it puts off a faint light dusk till down. Then when it senses motion, it shines brighter.

I use my Streamlight on my home protection handgun, so I actually prefer the red laser. Typically, green lasers are better for brighter/outdoor environments, and I bought this product specifically for indoor and predominantly night time defense. The LED light is plenty bright, and the red laser is still highly visible, even when the light is on. I would think that red would actually be more visible than green in this case. All in all, I am very satisfied with the performance and price of this product.

The beam is more of a floodlight than a spotlight. The laser does a nice job of pin pointing target though.

It works great for detecting motion in a narrow beam out from the unit, so if you place it such that the perp has to cross the "beam" to get to your door, then it will work for you. I don't know how it holds up outdoors but I've been using in indoors for over a year to catch a sleepwalker and it works great.

Yes, to the 2nd part only. It responds to a firearm's hammer, which then triggers a split second laser beam you won't really see UNLESS it's on target - that target being a laser-sensitive one, which then reveals a hit wherever. I do not know of other such targets than the one/s you mention (I think the company makes several varieties for different responses to its laser firearms inserts). Hope this answers the question?

I think you will be good to go. It is a laser and is pretty bright. I could easily see it on my garage floor from the ceiling in broad daylight.
