Will small animals or bugs flying around set the alarm off? I have lights on all night at two of my entryways.

We have one on our front porch and we keep the light on all day and night - no issues with bugs. You can adjust the angle if the alarm goes off for critters and there is also a button to adjust if too sensitive. We have one on our porch to tell us when someone is there (primarily to know when Fedex, UPS or USPS has a delivery) and one aimed at our driveway and very happy with them. It would be nice to be able to adjust the volume - there are only two choices, alarm (very loud) and beeps (can set 1 to 4 beeps on each so you know which alarm is going off (front porch or driveway for us).

I have 4 of them around my house and no bugs or small animals have ever set them off before. It does sense my dog if she walks in front of it though.

Yes. The alarm is triggered when a sensor changes state. So if you leave it open and don't touch it, it will not trigger the alarm

If it is moved or gets jarred it will make a loud "chirp" as a warning. I haven't had any false alarms with it. I believe if the alarm is triggered that it goes off in like 15 seconds unless the code is entered before that.

Many things can set off an alarm like that. The wind blowing or even an animal can set them off. We have a different brand and it needs to be re-positioned a little because it even picks up our neighbors when they are outside or leaving. We bought this one as a Christmas present which, of course, we haven't given yet. Ours sounds at night when some deer pass by. You might try to change the position a little and see if that helps.

My only answer is.....no it does not have any alarms, but it does send a constant red flashing light. Unless the prowler is brave enough to actually take the chance that this is not sending a signal, I think it will serve as a deterant.

I am assuming that even if there is a light it might not alert properly. I originally purchased the item so that I could have contact between the floors of our house. The intercoms did NOT work and I returned them.

No. The motion detector is super sensitive to any movement. If you were going to go out without your pet, you would have to turn the motion detector off. Otherwise, your pet would set off the alarm. GL

I wouldnt be sure about that. All my three movment sensors are in the same floor the only way to know would be trying. Sensors are infra-red so no objects as wins moved courtains trigger the alarm. A living animal like your pet will butvyou can desable areas where they move. I have two alarms conected to the main unit (wireless) and believe me the noise would frighten any intruder.

Yes. There are both options. You can set it so the light changes from "sleeping bunny" to "awake bunny" without noise. The other option is with sound and it sounds like a rooster when it goes off.

Not that I am aware of. Alarm will go off approximately 30 seconds after door is opened. This is designed to give you time to turn it off after you open the door.

Mine does this occasionally in the early morning when the bug population flocks to the light and triggers the sensor. I also had to trim the shrubbery beneath the light as a good breeze moved the leaves and triggered the light.

From my experience it will go off with almost any movement. Even a strong wind blowing against the window will set the alarm off.

No. The window alarms have a 3-switch slide button on the left hand side of the larger unit. The up position switches it off and the middle and lower positions are two different types of alarms.

If your window is low and the cat could reach and tap on the window glass, I think the alarm will go off. It will not go off if he is just nearby.

My experience is that it does not spook any animals. they are use to seeing lightning. I think you would manually have to shut if off each evening.

Yes. I have mine set with two alarms. The first one I set the sound level to level 1. What that means is as the light and sound gradually turn on, there is no sound until the very end. Then it is on at level one. Then the second one I set louder, because by then the light usually already wakes me up, so the sound lulls me out of bed if I haven't gotten up already.
