How many places can i monitoring and how far? can i connect with other sensors like motion?

You can monitor any number of locations for water level only, as long as you don't exceed a total length of 100' of telephone cord. Temperature and power outage monitoring are monitored at the Home Protector base unit.

My objective was to only use the Reliance device to sense a power outage and then notify me and/or a backup person of that condition to avoid a potential flooding condition in our basement due to an electrical sump pump failure. However, after hours of trouble-shooting with the Reliance Company, I still have not been able to get the unit to dial two people reliably when a power failure occurs. Reliance is still trying to resolve the problem. I expect to hear back from them this week.

I have three lines (telephone cable) going to three different devices I want monitored (sump pump well, water heater and water softener). I just pig-tail the three lines off the one thats included with the device. One line goes into my sump well, and the other two make a circle around the base of the heater and softener. I stripped the pair of wire so its all copper wire exposed. I hot glued the wires down separated about 1/4" apart. So a stream of water will make a "connection" between the two lines and call me.

The unit is designed to monitor temperature, power, and water. It is not designed to incorporate other sensors. There is only one water sensor included and one input in the controller for the water sensor. I don't know if you could tie additional ones into the line for the control unit. The unit is designed for use in one building although you could conceivably locate the water sensor in one area (within 100' of the control unit), a basement for instance, and install the control unit in a garage to monitor the temperature simultaneously.

So far, it gives you the location, but I tend to find that the device is not accurate past 20-30 feet. So if you are using to track a person with some sort of cognitive issue, you will know the general area to look, but not the specific area.

I think it handles a combination of up to 16 device on four channels so you can do any reasonable combination you want for up to 4 areas. However, if you want alert mode for some areas and alarms mode for other you will need two base units but if the buy a combo pack it is not much more then a sensor alone so the cost increase is minimal. You can buy the sensors separately as well so you can have a pretty flexible system for not a lot if money.

I have never used the motion detect, but honestly there are probably better units then this one since I didnt get the EXACT same unit posted.

You can add as many sensor boxes as you want but you will have to double up on zones. My pool area has 2 boxes but when either of them go off they both report by saying "alert zone 4" an extra receiver that is kept in a different room (on a different channel) may help you better pin point an area but that is not practical.

The water siren can indeed be connected as I have done so; I also have a second water alarm independently wired although I think you could splice them together if desired; I am not sure about the motion detector

Check to see if here is anything too close to sensor Keep everything about a foot away

Yes. I could be wrong but I believe you can actually hook up 16 sensors to the same unit. There are 4 channels so you can definitely at least hook up 4. But it's my understanding that you can actually do 4 sensors per channel, although I haven't tried it yet. It's an awesome system!! I love it. I currently have 4 sensors and just ordered 3 more so I'm gonna find out soon if it can handle more than 4.

Yes, but you can turn on live monitoring as soon as you receive a motion detection notice. On my network there is a ten second delay, which is ok for me.

Hello Gary, This system can hold up to 99 sensors. So you could have 99 motion sensors, although I do not think you will need that many. Thanks! www.FortressSecurityStore.com

It is my understanding that this can be done. I believe that you can only track other units which you have made a direct connection with.

I would think you could use it where ever you wanted to. How do you plan on powering the sensor and processing the information that the sensor transmits?

Sorry I have no idea since the last sensor I had never wore out. Anyways I think this product is a waste of money now given apps like RunKeeper.

Yes, I have done it two ways. FTP server and iSPY. I highly recommend the iSPY program. It is free and easier to setup. I only have done this with a wired connection though. FTP server setup is confusing to do, and i only got it working with scheduled recordings not motion sensor.

You can put the app on a number of phones to monitor the camera. But having the camera now for two weeks i would not recommend it. The user interface and application are not highly functional and I have been unable to find a way to get it to capture motion events. The documentation stinks. I was trying to buy something cheaper than a Dropcam but I am afraid I will have to shell out more money for that.

I believe if you get the parallax sensor they convert to digital signal. You can set limits with the range. I'm not sure what sensors you plan on using.

One sensor. I imagine more than one could be used but check with the mfg first.
