Is monitoring unit rechargeable or is it always plugged in? Are sensors durable or are they cheap construction? Can you change sensor batteries?

The monitor always has to be plugged in, but some can be wired into power. If you do that, wire it to acc power so it shuts off when you turn the key off. The sending units are well built and totally sealed. No batteries to replace and they should last about 5yrs.

Monitor unit must be connected to power. Sensors seem average and are said to have about a 7 year battery life. The sensors have to be replaced when the batteries go dead just like the oem sensors

Its your choice, either to leave the plug in or out. I always unplug mine when I turn off the car. The sensors are durable. And you cannot change the batteries. You have the change the whole sensor.

the unit is not rechargeable, must be always pluged in, i had the wiring connected to the accesory wiring directly hiden under the dash to hide the wire, the sensors seem durable, i have similar kit on my old car, sensor are atleast 5 years old, recently one stopped working, the only issue i have with this kit, is the placement of the receiver, should be near center console or it might loose reception, i had unit installed on left of dash and after .5 hour of driving 2 sensor lost signal, i had to transfer yhe receiver near center console, ( not easy task ) have not lost signal yet

This unit is waterproof. The most important issue is to be sure it is exposed to maximum sunlight to fully charge the battery. If you place it too high the motion sensor wont work.Thanks

The sensor light does not stay on after movement or motion stops. I never timed it, but it goes off after a couple of seconds. Your batteries will last. I haven't replaced mine yet and i still give it 5 stars.

Hi. I noticed these are in the package. Battery operated and wireless but I did not tried. I am using the PIR sensor operations and happy with the battery endurance and alarm alerting

It is a built in battery, rechargeable no access to battery go on cc witness.com to get full specs. Unit is awesome, easy to use, recording is crisp and clear. Battery lasts a long time between uses.

It uses rechargeable batteries that lasted me many recharges for about a year just plug in outlet. and I have a lot of floors to do. You can replace them with 6-7.2volt ones but I wouldn't attempt it!!! they have to be wired and in and hard to get unit apart

The sensors are wireless and battery operated, but the "receiving unit" with audible and visual alarm indicators is wireless but not battery operated, it needs an outlet to be plugged in.

The unit has a battery, as does the speed and cadence sensors and heart rate strap. They'll need to be replaced yearly, which is no big deal. I'd actually rather that than worrying if it needs recharging all the time. And, the unit will let you know when the battery is getting low. After 6 months, mine is still going strong on original battery.

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.

Smartthings says 6 months to a year. I have only had mine a little over a month. One of the first sensors I got was defective, in that it burned through the batteries in a couple of days. They replaced the sensor and this one I have no problems with. I have this sensor on a door that is opened and closed quite a few times a day. Also the motion sensor is in a room with quite a bit of activity. The battery levels shown have decreased at a very slight proportion so far. If the battery levels continue at the same rate I predict that the batteries should last, at the very least, 6 to 8 months I am betting. You can monitor the battery level percentage on the app. As it gets low it starts sending you notifications. So even when the defective sensor was burning through the batteries...at least I knew it was about to die and it sent me consistent notifications that it was on it's way out.

G sensors are built in and has built in apps to calibrate them, no warrenty card in box, I would suggest purchasing one seperate... but its a cheap item to begin with a back up app for your data would be a better investment.

All batteries (unit, speed, cadence & heart rate sensors) are user replaceable. All are designed for min 12 month lifetime. Very user-friendly

Yes the power cord is included so you can plug the unit into the wall electrical socket. The sensor is battery operated with a 9V battery. We have had ours now for about a year and it works flawlessley

If you are asking if the sensor itself can be cleaned, I don't think so. I recall the instructions recommend simply vacuuming the unit once a month but this is a pretty standard sealed unit, minimal maintenance sort of detector.

Hi, I am interested in your question as I have bought two of these units. The first was destroyed by the shipping company and second worked great for about a week. I have a communications company and we repair smart phones and other tiny gadgets. That said I gave my thermometer to a technician at the service department and he opened it and worked on the problem. In this case the mini USB connector was broken. However we also took apart the battery and have similar replacement parts from suppliers. You can do the same or send it to us and we can attempt a repair. Other wise you will have to plug it in continuously to a USB power supply and covert wire it it. Regards, Don www.kootenaycommunications.com

There should be rechargeable batteries supplied with the unit. We haven't had to replace them since we installed it 2 years ago...

No its wireless make sure the sensor is properly plugged in to the usb port, it may also just need to be charged
