What is the range of view of the sensor? I'd like to know how high to place itand at what angle to point it at to detect motion in a certain areas.

The WEMO Motion sensor will sense movement within a 10-foot range and can be placed anywhere you'd like it to directly detect any motion.

I use the two orange buttons on top like a gun sight to aim it. its 135 degree FOV so you dont have to supper on target with all the moving around, say a mountain bike or motorcycle will be doing. a few degrees off is fine, no one can tell.

You cannot adjust the length of the detection sensor, however it has a switch for low, medium or high sensitivity. You can also move the sensor if it is aimed at an area where there is constant movement and it gets triggered a lot.

Possible. This motion sensor can only see about 30 feet if you point it down. Point it up and the wind will set it off. This means the sensor is close and receiver has a short radio wire on it which could possibly receive a sensor signal from a long distance.

I don't know how to determine the field of vision in terms of feet or yards. My impression was that I saw what I expected, both in range and detail. In fact, I was pleased with the range and the details when I first tried it. It took me a few minutes to get my bearings because this is the first night vision device I've tried. Perhaps to put it in perspective, I stood on my back deck and looked into the approx. 2.5 ft wide by 4 ft high window on my shed which is about 20 yards away--I could a rope inside the shed, window panes, and other objects inside the shed. So, at about 12 to 15 yards I could just see the 2.5' by 4' window missing (blocking out) only a few inches on the height.I hope this helps.

Well heck I guess you could put it anywhere really, within range of the sensor. I had it in a window for several days before putting it up and it went off every time I walked by, a distance of a good 3-4 feet or so with a ~45 degree cone. Once I put it on the shed I mounted it directly above the door, and it goes off every time I reach the doors. That height is about 7 feet.

According to product details... "It will be in "dim light" mode until it senses motion; when sensing motion it will activate the "bright light". "Bright light" turns off 10 seconds after motion stops. Detects motion within 10 feet - 120 degree angle.

You cannot adjust the sensor distance. It will work to about 11 feet. You could re-position the unit to make up for your distance requirements.

It appears to me the "eye of the sensor" can easily see about 100 feet and probably more if there is a direct line of sight. We use the unit to advise us of entry into our driveway - the "eye" of the sensor is located about 200 feet from the actual entry to the driveway so when a car or truck aligns itself in the drive the alarm goes off. The sensor from the receiver (the alarm) is a good 400-feet or more away and it works just fine. Hope this helps.

I believe the remote is supposed to have a 75ft range under ideal conditions. In practice, ours (outside, with no walls in the way) seem to have an effective remote range of 40-50ft. The motion detection range, though, may even be better than the 25ft claimed range.

It detects pretty far out, I have animals 30' away in a pasture and it will often pick their movement up. I don't know about 200' away, would be better if you could mount it closer to the activity. Also, it doesn't pick up 'wide angle' but only straight out in front of the detector. The 1/2 mile transmit claim is valid though!

Easley 20 feet plus, I am about 30 feet back from the street, and I have to point the sensor down a little to keep the cars on the street from turning my light on. The manual says 50 feet, and I have no doubt it will detect from 50 feet. To date, I am totally satisfied with this unit, even at -5 degrees F this detector functions perfectly, better than any other motion detector I have ever had. Mine did not come with an ezplate, as I only ordered the sensor.

Not sure what the maximum distance would be, but I put the main panel in the middle of my house and the sensors are locate up to about 30' feet away. Not problem. Also, the sensor are separated by up to 2 walls (plasterboard interior walls) from the panel. Hope this helps.

I tested this tonight. It appears to be about 3/4 to 1 inch from the sensor.

I put it up high on the end of my house where the street light did not hit. Probably 18 to 20 feet up. You can set the sensor for the direction you want. Not as bright as an electric light but plenty of light so see to get up the sidewalk without stumbling over something. Considering another for the back of my house.

The sensitivity settings are adjustable. We have ours set to the most sensitive setting, and movement picks up at close to 50 feet. Overall angle of sensitivity is about 120 degrees (in the real world) of width though the wider 'angles' are less sensitive than when movement is captured straight on if that makes sense.

Dear MikeYes the sensor might be facing towards the direction where motion will occur. So i believe it should be pointting downwardsBest regardsStacy @ ChiChinLighting
