Sorry but I do not use the motion detectio0n feature. I do agree that the instructions are poor.

Just turn it so the zero is facing up. The alarm should stop when you do that

Clockwise increases sensitivity. If you can see the unit from outside the vehicle then make an adjustment, then step away about 10 feet, wait 5 seconds then walk toward vehicle and watch for green and red pilot lights to blink. Green light is warning activation and red light is full alarm activation. This way you can test without without hearing the alarm.

I placed mine in a little box that looks like a bird house. I also pointed it at the drive and not across it. This keeps the false alarms down. It will pick up tree and flower movement. I also hooked it up to a door bell for a while but the eight second closure on the relay made it very annoying. We use it for people coming up our long drive so we know when someone comes. Don't bother calling Dakota, they won't help but they did replace the unit under warranty.

This is a mobility detector. If anybody is about 1 meter from the vehicle it will actvate your car alarm system. It is not an alarm system, it is just an additional device to the car alarm system.

Hi Dave, Outdoor motion sensors are usually workable cheap single or chained units used for driveways or sidewalks etc. They beep once when a car or person etc walk by. To the best of my knowledge no one builds one that trips a dry contact alarm or horn etc., so when they go off and you are asleep forget it. However is you have a home alarm system you could place a motion sensor outside under the eves for example and the control panel should pick it up just fine. Some panels allow you to set zones etc. which can be used when asleep to alert you of unwanted activity etc.

Make sure it say auto on the screen. You get it to do that by holding the front plate down. Until it moves from "man" to "auto"

Hi the only thing you would probably need is an module for alarm.Not to sure but you can verify with your installer if your vehicle requires a module.Also I would recommend a couple extra sensors like an extra shock sensor, tilt sensor (extra security incase they try to tow or jack up your vehicle to steal rims) I highly recommend, and the directed audio sensor (detects if vehicles windows have been shattered.I have added all three extra sensors and highly recommend you do same.Any other ?s you may have feel free to ask.Take care.

I installed this when my motion detection stopped working. It did not help. I now believe the problem is in the master unit.

No, "alarming" is not a motion detector.It's the bell when someone press the doorbell. thanks.

I live in Colorado so the police do not care. If it is a problem in your state put a piece of black tape over the lights. The front of the display lights up and beeps like crazy. As a side note the detector has gone off every time a patrol car has had the radar on. I drive about 300 highway miles a week and so far it has always worked.

Bruce, If I were wiring it up an did not want it to come on during the day you could do a couple things. 1. Switch to a standard motion sensor used on fixtures such as those over residential garage doors they are motion only when dark and run less than $20. 2. If you do need this style of motion sensor for your application put a photo cell in series before the sensor and fixture so the motion sensor and fixture only get power to operate when dark that fix could be done for about $15. Hope that helps. Have a good day.

Hello: Yes you can set the cam to motion detection mode but keep in mind you'll have to have a constant power supply while your car is turned off. Of course I don't know what direction you'd be looking at. Out the windsheild is normal. I would really recommend this unit. The picture quality is fantastic. A 32GB card will give you about 8 hours of recording time. Don't use a class 10. The crappy manual that comes with it even suggests against it. My class 4 works just fine. I didn't think the GPS version was worth it but I've changed my mind since.
