Does the product sense movement, and how far is the range?

Yes, this IP cam does sense motion and sound. I can't find specific documentation about range for either BUT... Motion and sound detection can either be armed or disarmed in the web browser interface under the Alarms tab - it's like logging onto your router. Note there are multiple options for what happens when motion and/or sound are triggered: send an email, upload image to an FTP site, or begin local recording to a separate connected device. Short story, I tried the motion and sound detection. With three cats, I was getting emails all the time for motion. I only use sound detection and that works great.

I assume it works at the distance they say it does. I know it does work at seventy five feet as long as there is no movement or obstruction in the line of site and that the transmitter does not move.

no. it comes up and tells you it is out of range. when you come back within range, it comes back up.

I would say the range is more like 1/2 mile but that has been enough for me. The arrow in the hand held unit will give you the direction to walk and the percentage will move up as you get closer. If the device is not registering anything, then you may need to drive slowly around your neighborhood until you get a lock. I had to use this just this morning and it worked perfectly. In the past, I wouldn't have had a clue which direction to begin to walk. This device is probably not as good as a Gps device but the GPS devices are more expensive and they charge a monthly fee. This has worked very well for me and I've not been disappointed... I would say the range is more like 1/2 mile but that has been enough for me.

If it is a small item it will need to almost touch it .larger items it will detect it around 1 maybe 2 inches away .

Mine is about 25 feet away and is completely reliable. The manufacturer claims it works up to 150 feet.

I have never tried to get an exact range but I do know other reviewers said it doesn't hold a steady range. It also failed very soon after the warranty period.

comfy... re: range of motion... at 20' and at the most, 30', my sensors still work. I believe that if you use the best batteries you can find.. you should not have a problem.

I've been outside & up to 30-40 ft away and had it work fine. Good product.

You can. It will detect movement but the setup is difficult. I'm still hit-or-miss with the settings on mine. The instructions are very limited as to what each option you setup in the software.

It should.. these sensors detect distances (from the sensors to the object that is close)

The sensitivity varies from unit to unit and also is a function of the size of what you are trying to detect. For example, a mouse is unlikely to trigger the sensor at 20 feet away, but a human being probably will. The sensor is motion sensitive and does not, so far as I know, detect infra-red heat. I have three units and their sensitivities vary from about 15 to 20 feet. You will also have to experiment with the aim of the sensors as the angle of view and the directionality of the sensors also seems to vary from unit to unit.

It does sense movement to the side - Not sure how far - at least 3 ft. I absolutely Loved this for the 3 days that it worked! Even though Ad says Outdoors - The paper work says INDOORS ONLY ! ! ! On day 3, I had it outside, and there was a misty rain for 2 min. and the light never worked again.

It's mounted 7'-10' high to be detected maximum distance up to 60'-70' (@75F or less). if just detects 10'-20' away that have to adjust sensitivity knob via clockwise to increase its sensing range.

The ones I received had a pretty good range on it. 50 feet-ish. It could be that the batteries were fresh in mine. It wouldn't hurt to try. Please let me know.

I'm not sure of the exact range of this alert system. I had a distance of about 1/3 mile from transmitter to receiver. Regardless of the range, I would not recommend this product to anyone as it only worked for a few weeks before it started giving false alarms or didn't alert when someone was actually coming down the driveway. Look elsewhere for an alert system!

OK, had to actually test it. Works fine. Tried about 15-20 feet away, but since it was line of sight, I also checked it from an adjoining room. Passed with flying colors. 15 feet away on a couch should be fine.
