What is the maxium distance the sensor will detect movement? I can't find that in any of the product information.

The manual implies up to 50 feet. I deliberately aimed my unit to try and cover a limited area, but it seems to detect people at about 25', cats at about 12' and moving cars at about 40'. I'm sure the range would be greater if I aimed the sensor up a bit more.

Sorry that I can't answer your question. As I have mentioned, this unit does not look good with my front door so I did not installed it therefore I am not in the position of commenting on its functionality.

Sorry. Don't buy it. It consumed batteries (costly) and after a while the sensor is not functional anymore as expected. Better buy one with foot mechanism. It will last longer. Hope that helps.

I'm not sure what the specifications say but it is about 60 feet from where I mounted mine to the street and as it was adjusted out of the box, it was seeing cars in the street, so I adjusted the sensitivity and aimed it a little more downward so that it would only detect the closer motion near the door. Works great so far!

I have used it at a range of 20 ft but I expect it will work farther but not sure. I think the sensitivity is adjustable but I don't know the max range.

The sensor is VERY sensitive. I have one mounted under the kitchen counter. I had to use black electrical tape to block about 95% of the sensor, to keep it from activating when getting near the counter. The tile back splash was reflecting my movements from a few feet away.

The motion sensor has a wide of motion that captures at the high and low range of motion. I keep it tilted a little high because I only need to know when my mother sits up.

I don't know the exact range but it's very good. I have three of these sensors and one from Lowes. I wish I would have bought four. Well worth the extra money.

It might be a little more than 40 ft. Both of my sensors are in the 50-60 ft range from one of the chimes and in the 40 ft range from the other. It probably depends on what is between the sensor and the chime as well.

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.

If by installing you mean actually tapping it to the doors or walls, what I did was to activate all sensors and test them on a table. The sensor motion sensors are pre-programmed and all I did was put on a table such sensor and walk by it at a distance of 20 feet(I think it is it maximum distance). These motions sensor once activated and disactivated in no time with be ready to activated. In some other brands those motion sensors after activating will take about 5 minutes not in this type of alarm. I hoped to have been of any help.

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.

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.

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 may be mounted in high places, I have one mounted about 10ft from the ground. It reaches floor level motion about 15 to 18 feet from the sensor at that height. It may be installed at an angle to project the sensor down to the floor at a steeper angle. The only issue with this sensor for me is it picks up a 8 lb cat from 15 feet away. Another sensor is available if pets will be in the area. It requires an alarm to operate. It will work with all Linx Touch 5200 and the Lynx Touch 7000 alarm systems by Honeywell.

I would not place a motion sensor 300 yards away from the mailbox to alert you when someone is delivering mail to your box. At 300 yards, the sensor will pick up a lot of other movements - birds, etc... Best to put (screw/tape it down) the sensor inside the mail box. It has been three months, and the batteries in my units are still working good. You question is probably whether the receiver can receive signals from a sensor that is 300 yards away. You will never know until you try it - every situation is a bit different. The signal can be easily blocked by multiple walls, etc... I have tried up to 100' (size of yard) and it still works - 300 yards is very, very long way away.

It should work. The sensor has very long range. either 75 feet or 100 feet but I forgot the exact rating.

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.
