can I plug this siren directly into an outside motion detector receptacle ... and have it come on when motion lights come on?

The trigger amperage of a motion detector is not sufficient to power this siren, nor most any other standard sirens for that matter. What you will want to do is use a sensitive trigger relay in between your motion detector and the siren. You will also need to supply the proper voltage to the relay as well. That way, when the low voltage of the detector is tripped, the relay will connect the higher voltage to the siren.

Siren requires DC power supply to operate. If the motion detector operates on DC you shold be able to.

The water siren can indeed be connected as I have done so; I also have a second water alarm independently wired although I think you could splice them together if desired; I am not sure about the motion detector

Yes. My primary siren is for the outside of the house. The alarm 5, 115 db is for the inside of My house. There should adequate electrical capacity in your system to add the additional siren. It should be compatible with your system.

yes it can be activated by animals passing the motion detector anytime of day. One thing to be certain of is to keep the line of sight clear. I once parked my car in between the receiver and the motion detector and it did not work. Otherwise it is fantastic to give a heads up that someone is coming up the driveway. Mine is more than 100 feet from the house and on the wrong side of the tree it is mounted on.

Do you HAVE to? No. If you want to mount a secondary siren in a hidden location, you can do so. Studies show people don't pay attention to car alarms though. It's the page to your remote that should serve as security.

I didn't hook mine to a motion sensor because it only last about 10hrs of run time. But using an motion sensor with a controlled outlet should work. This light came with a plug already installed.

This is a DUhhhhh question!!!! Of course you can!!! You don't have to get creative until you try to integrate it into an security panel, Because of the current draw, you need to get the security panel to trip a relay, capable of safely carrying the current draw of the siren. any sort of switch capable of handling 12VDC @ 500ma. should be fine ... A wall light switch will work just fine .For a nicer looking switch try an automotive store and they will even sell you the switch attached to a stylish switch panel.

Not really. I put two in a new motion detector backyard light, and they rarely fully illuminate the first time you walk by. Doesn't do much good if you have to keep going by a light to get it to turn on enough to be useful.

The 15 ft tethered float switch itself is rated for wet installation, so yes, it can go outdoors. The alarm module will need to be installed indoors or in a weather/wet tight box if you intend to use it outside. If you will use it in that manner be sure the power receptacle is weather protected in the same weather/wet tight box. On a related note make sure the alarm module is located where it can be heard. Mine is in the lowest level of my condo in a room below the stairs, but I can still hear it on the third level when I tested the system. It works quite well. Bill, (end user and Mechanical Engineer)

Yes. It will not come on during the day when it senses motion, but the little red light on the sensor will blink.

The camera is powered by a standard outlet. I am not sure if the camera can be triggered on by motion detection. We use it for a continuous live feed. It should work installed behind a glass window. You just might need to make sure to keep the glass clean for a clear image.

I used a standard 12v plug in DC converter to an outlet which is controlled by my sensor system. If the security light has an internal sensor it may be hard to use it power the siren.

I plugs into an wall outlet. Motion-activated sensor only. Been using it for many years. Best night light I ever own.

Yes, that's true, I just tried it. The thief will activate it at least momentarily before turning off the unit. I don't think think this unit was intended only as a bike alarm but rather a general motion sensor alarm because there is a single keyhole on the back of the unit for wall mounting. Hope this helps.

This connects to your local ZigBee hub. What you do with it from there is your business. So yes you could connect this sensor and a siren to your hub, and have the local siren sound when this switch was triggered.

The outdoor siren needs a 110v power source. It is triggered by the system wirelessly.

No, this siren can be used with a 9v or 12v DC adapter or input. It cannot be hooked up to a home electric outlet which is either 120v or 240v AC. So you can buy a 12v DC adapter and connect the siren and pluck the adapter to a home electric switch which you can then switch on and off.
