Does the unit work if I only install the motion detectors? If it can, do you have to unprogram the other units or can you just leave it unpowered?

Yes. You can use the system with just motion Sensor. There is no need to reprogram.

yes, i dont use the doors and windows units. they are not very reliable. the motion detectors are the best. everything comes programed but you can only use the motion detectors. another point, the motion detectors i only have to change the baterries every 6 months or so.

From the information I gathered the motion detectors won't pick up anything under fifty pounds, but I haven't risked it. Another thing people recommend is angling the detectors such that they won't detect anything as short as a dog or cat. That doesn't really answer your question, but I hope it helps!

I have 5 detectors and one co2 unit all connected to each other and it works fine. If you have more and a larger sized home I recommend the units with the voice warnings so you know which one had been activated. Use sticky notes or tape to ID each one when you do the set up

I installed this when my motion detection stopped working. It did not help. I now believe the problem is in the master unit.

Same thing here. Two 888LMs both work great, except the motion detector that results in lights turning off only momentarily, and then turning back on almost immediately. It is motion detection, only without motion.

My experience with it is after turning off it will immediately turn on again if there is detected motion. In fact if there is constant motiondetected, it will not turn off until motion stops for the period of time set on the device, i.e. 2 mins, 10 mins , or whatever the setting is.

No - once you put the batteries in, the unit will light up whenever motion is detected.

I asked myself the same question until I realized that this product has no motion detector feature. This is fake. They only put a sticker on the box for the advertising. Let me know if you can do it otherwise let the product have a bad review.

have your system wired so the motion sensors are all on one zone. that way you ca program your system to "stay". it turns off the inside stuff and keeps door and glass-break sensors active

We hated this unit. We are using Chamberlain motion sensors outside in key areas. There is not arming or disarming they just let me hear when someone is by a window or on the property. I love it. The alarm system you are looking at stopped working. It was loud but we had the extra siren. We never hooked up doors or windows. If someone gets in, they would set up a motion sensor within seconds so we don't find the window and door alarms worth the hassle.

The one I purchased works fine. It does have a very sensitive motion sensor with a wide angle. Check to see if there is any moving object within the swath of the detector.

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.

The model I got had a motion detector on it and it works beautifully. Very bright!

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.

I don't know what the others are talking about but if you read the manual it will explain to you how to bypass a sensor or a motion detector. If you have difficulty how to bypass a sensor or a motion detector, you can also call Mile. He will explain to you to do it. Good luck.

This system specifically, I am not sure. I used to install systems for an ADT dealer. We used masking techniques to stop false alarms. Basically white electrical tape placed inside the lens of the motion detectors in areas that a cat or dog would be blocks false alarms. You have to take time taping and checking repeatedly so you know what areas actually trigger alarms. Block off stairs and the lower region to about knee height so animals on the ground won't trigger alarms. The location of the motion detectors matters as well. These motion detectors in this kit do not have processors for animals. That type of sensor is much larger having two actual sensors. The system will arm without the motion detectors.

Sorry but I do not use the motion detectio0n feature. I do agree that the instructions are poor.
