Does this pick up the movement of a dog? I would like to get a sensor light to pick up when my dogs go outside the dog door.

We have a shibaino breed, small dog, with the fixture at 8 feet it does not pick the figs movement. I guess it would be a matter of height...

Any Motion will activate the light. You should get a light with batteries that are rechargeable outside the light. This one needs a couple hours of sunlight to be usable.

Yes there is a blue steady light that will only come on if an animal walks within range. It stays on for a few seconds and automatically turns off

If you position the unit low enough you may pick up animals that enter the field. We have a small dog that when he runs down the driveway we hear it beep, which for us is good.

I believe so. We have our unit positioned far from our house along a lengthy driveway and it detects someone walking by or animal (deer) movement.

I have 4 of them around my house and no bugs or small animals have ever set them off before. It does sense my dog if she walks in front of it though.

I no longer have any pets, my dog passed away. But my neighbor brings his dog over and it does not seem to bother him. I have the device in my carport aimed at the hood of my car that was formerly used by a cat (cats) and so far it is working. It only turns on when it detects motion in front of it so it should not affect nearby pets.

yes, I put one over my front door about 10 ft up and it turns on when my dogs walk out...also have one above on the peek of my house and it detects movement also..very bright worth the money...don't let the size fool you.

No the motion sensor are not made for outdoor use & inside they only have about a 10ft radius in my house so you have to be strategic in placing them. I think I read that the Pet sencors are made so they will not detect the motion of anything under 30lbs. Hope this helps, I am pleased with my system & it was easy to hook up.

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 imagine that would depend on the quality of the replaceable batteries that you select to install and how often your light comes on when an object sets it off. The light only stays on for a very short space of time when the person or animal moves out of range. I consider it one of my better buys.

The sensors are built into the unit. Likely it does not hurt you dog, just surprises and annoys. Kind of like my dog barking when I am trying to sleep.

I do not have pets therefore it is difficult to give an accurate answer to your question. However the motion sensor is very sensitive to movement. I can imagine a large pet may easily trigger the sensor. I do not know how it would react to small pets near the floor.

It detects motion very quickly and even 20+ feet away if unobstructed. Once activated it stays on for a few minutes and will shut off if there is no further motion - it stays on as long as it keeps detecting motion. Having the sensor pointing down makes it more sensitive and effective. It's great for garages and porches, as well as closets and places you don't want to fiddle with finding the switch. I'm a big fan of these bulbs as are friends I've introduced to them.

Yes. But it may prove annoying as, if the dog is in and out constantly, it would be going off each time as it is sensitive to motion. If the dog is housed and infrquentlly goes in and out of the door it would be fine, I think.

I believe if you push it into the ground as far as it will go the sensor will pick up a skunk moving along the ground==we use ours for deer so I'm not positive, but I know my German Shepherd sets it off every time she goes near it!

Your going to need the other motion sensors, they are "pet" friendly and are designed to not go off with smaller pets. I believe that is another package with those units, they are only about $5 more each.

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.
