Does it work like a motion sensor and does it only light up when someone walks by the light? I am looking for a sensor

No it does not work like a motion sensor. It does have a light sensor so if the lights in the room are on the nightlight will turn off. The nightlight will also go off if the sensor is blocked by people walking by it. I would really like to find a nightlight that would only come on when you are near it.

no, it is not a motion detector. it comes on when it is a certain level of darkness and goes off with a certain level of light.

I think this light would work perfect in that situation. I have experimented with the settings of mine and found that the motion sensor is just as sensitive in a lighted environment as in the dark. Also, the brightness is great enough to add extra illumination, even in already lit areas.

It doesn't flash, but the LEDs light up red when the motion sensor is activated, but it's not like a bright flash. There's other cameras available where it's advertised, black LEDs, those aren't supposed to light up when activated.

Yes, that is correct. It has a built in motion detector. The light will come on when it senses any motion and turn off after the prescribed amount of time (I think its 10 mins).

unfortunately, no. This light is as simple as take it out of the box, leave it outside, and at dawn it will come on standby and when motion is detected it will light up for 10 seconds or as long as this is still movement.

It has motion detection and light sensing. I installed one outside. It only lights when it senses motion at night.

Mine is detecting motion from 35' away from the side of the sensor, which in my case is ideal, while detecting motion from the front of the sensor at about 20' away, again ideal for my situation. It all has to do with the angle with which you set the sensor. You have to play with it a bit, to get the sensor set to the angle that works best for you. Overall, I'm very happy with the light/sensor function and would recommend this fixture!

No it isn't. It is a motion sensor that can be set for range and up to 10 minutes of light. It has a 180 degree sensor that activates the light if approached from the side. If placed correctly it will only illuminate when someone of around four feet tall is spotted by the sensor. It is an excellent way to frighten off a burglar when the lights suddenly come on. I highly recommend the product for anyone looking to upgrade security of their homes.

I have one and I'm pretty sure it is just a light sensor. without messing around with the electronics it only lights up if it is dark.

Any motion will turn the light on. I am not sure how long it stays on, but it is for a few minutes. There is an on/off switch. The "on" switch turns on the motion sensor. I have these lights in several places and find them very useful in dark closets, cupboards and especially the one under the sink. I mounted that on the side wall there.

It's really not meant to be a security motion detector, will see you at about 5 feet away and light up your path....works great at that!

Yes....light has 3 settings, off, dusk-to-dawn and motion sensor setting. I have mine set to motion sense so the light only turns on when I walk by it and I have it set to stay on for about 30 seconds after I walk away from it

Yes, it does. It is on at a lower light setting--not as bright as the motion sensor light.

It doesn't turn on in a lit area. I would say it would have to be about the darkness of dusk or darker in order for the light to turn on when motion is detected.

It has a light sensor in it. When it is daylight it does not come on. At night the motion sensor is great. The light is very bright, I use it in the entry of my garage to light the way. I would highly recommend it if a bright light is what you are looking for.

Yes, it is a motion detector. But it only works when the light level is low. I wanted it to work anytime there was motion, so I put a piece of black tape over the photocell detector and it works fine. I just couldn't make it work the way the instructions said, and tech support couldn't help. Good Luck. Terry

Hi Ginny Sorry, but the peephole does not have motion detect. It is going to take a picture or record a video when someone presses the bell.
