Does the motion activator only come on when sensing movement from the front? How far away from the side will it sense movement?

It does sense movement to the side - Not sure how far - at least 3 ft. I absolutely Loved this for the 3 days that it worked! Even though Ad says Outdoors - The paper work says INDOORS ONLY ! ! ! On day 3, I had it outside, and there was a misty rain for 2 min. and the light never worked again.

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.

It's motion activated within 8 feet. If you place the device on your desk, it should only go off if they get on the desk.

Detection: Mine will detect movement at least 25' away. You can see in the photo an angled cutout on each side of the sensor; you would want to mount it so movement is within that unobstructed range.Light distribution: The bottom of the lens is clear, so light will be cast down as well as out 180 degrees.

There are two on/off options...one on the stationary motion detector and one on the mobile device.

I had the same problem, what I noticed about this unite unlike a watch dog unit I have the motion detecting part is opposite the speaker, so when I turn it around it worked perfect, also for best use it needs to be about 2 or 3 feet from door or wall or whatever . I hope this helps because that,s all I have. good luck Rita O.

There is a function that will allow it to come on only with movement or sound. I have not tried it because it isn't that bright and is only about two inches by two inches, the screen that is.

No, the only variable for motion is on or off. When you have the unit on, you can opt to have audio on or not. Not sure what your intentions or concerns are but the inventor/distributor may be able to address your questions or further inquiries.

James, It is motion activated, so it will only turn on when something moves in front of it. If you need more specific information, or the light is not turning on for some reason, feel free to shoot me an email under our seller account.

You can. It will detect movement but the setup is difficult. I'm still hit-or-miss with the settings on mine. The instructions are very limited as to what each option you setup in the software.

I use mine in an indoor retail setting, and found that it is very sensitive. I have tried to position it so that it only chimes when customers enter through the doorway, but it does pick up motion from just outside the parameters that I would choose. I'm going to try rigging some side walls so that it only "sees" what I want it to.

The front to back motion is easily adjustable. I have mine set for no motion at all. Some people like a little bit for some reason.

No, the remote detects movement and if there is none the remote shuts off. Shake the remote to keep it active.

It's a mechanical motion sensor. As long as you have it turned on, it will works when you move it.

I purchased several motion sensors, and some are able to detect motion at 20 feet and others are only able to detect it at 12 feet (even if I adjust the sensitivity). I also found some units to be more prone to activating false alarms than others. This all points to poor quality control and testing with their production, but most of units have proven to be very good and continue to perform well after 18 months of use.

I'd estimate that it detects movement about 10 feet away. I have it installed over the door and it lights up when i'm about 10 feet from the door.
