Does the remote work from a severe side angle? I want to put in window at top of the stairs and don't want to have to go up to adjust. Thanks.

The remote works at about a 45 degree angle from the side, it might work the same angle vertically.

Yes, it works fine on its side but the oscillating function is pretty useless if you do so. I actually laid mine down on its side for a while and has no issues.

I have just used the app for adjusting the volume when watching TV. It works great as the receiver is in a enclosed cabinet and with my old receiver I always had to open the door in order to access the volume remotely or by hand.

I'm not sure about the remote control. Accommodating a nine-foot ceiling depends upon how high you mount it. The chimney does have some adjustment capability. Take a look at the maximum / minimum height in the specs (fully expanded length, then consider the height you are going to mount it (the difference between the two is the adjustment zone). Measure from the anticipated height of the base and work upwards. I have really tall ceilings in my kitchen and I setup the vent to exit to an outside wall and the chimney stops short of the ceiling - worked for us. Best I can offer on this.

Not sure - but I did find it annoying the remote did not have direction keys (ie: up, down, left, right) it only has a mouse which isn't always effective for htpc configurations especially when the application UI is normally manipulated with direction keys for quick navigation. My use was on a htpc with xbmc and had to return the product because it didn't satisfy my need. Hope this helps. Wm

I just tried this several different ways. Facing the camera from about ten feet away, I was able to hold the remote behind my back and point it in any direction and activate the record on the camera. This remote is not IR like a TV remote so it is not directional.

I have it mounted at an angle, but don't have it at the top of the stairs. I think the post would need to be 2.25 at least. Otherwise it has been good for an irregular area of the house.

to tilt the angle the knobs must be unscrewed enough to get proper angle for you . the height not what is needed is to push in the metal button on shaft there are many small holes to choose from for desired heights. It simply slides up and down and button pop out again but you must keep it aligned just so though. I hope that helps you out

It swivels to the side not up. I have a low ceiling and it works perfectly.

Yes. The remote will raise and lower the screen, however you need to make sure it is hung completely level or it may hang up on one side.

I've only used it forward facing. Its a pretty tall back though. I could see it maybe blocking your view out of the side window.

From the bottom, I would answer yes. From the top, I am not sure and would think it would not work as well. The sensor has a cone-shaped field of view looking down out of the light. So the top of your stairs is going to be a blind spot, until someone starts walking down the stairs for a bit.

I use it in SC without removing the window screen... but I have to be honest.. I am sorry I bought it because it is so noisy. Instead of my bedroom, I have to put it in the den. Other than that, it was convenient, with the remote and the reverse feature.

I just hooked it up to the TV and put it in the window upright right next to the TV--it worked on top of the TV too. It works great--really clear picture. It's thin and lightweight.Pam

I gave this as a gift to someone else. I have an earlier version of this light and I use it on the side of my house in a narrow walkway. Like the other responder, it is important to angle it properly. Mine comes on when I'm within 6 feet of it. I recommend that you study the range you want it to come on and adjust it to that angle. You may have to adjust it by testing at night. It is fairly easy to adjust the angle. Good luck!

Susan,I have a 60-incher and the swivel gizmo works great. Swivels with just a touch - so much so that I had to rearrange the TV cables so they would not pull my TV to one side or the other when I swivel it fully right or left (I need a 180 degree range for watching from my dining, living and Florida rooms). The product is wonderful - I contacted the inventor and told him so.
