Will this sensor work through a window?

No. It picks up body heat to activate. Window would block that. However, warm sunlight or quick air temp change will cause it to activate.

Yes, very easy installation same as your door/window sensors. Follow instructions with your system manual if unsure. Then call your security monitoring company to confirm addition.

No it will not, you will need to put a virtual wall sensor in that area. You would have to move it yourself.

Yes, the door sensor should work on all doors, as long as contact is made the alarm will arm.The motion sensor might be a problem with large clear balcony /clear doors, quick moving shadows or car headlight at dusk might set off the motion sensor. Keep the motion sensor away for large doors and windows and you should be fine.We have the unit for 3-4 years and it worked perfectly, because we have walked into the house few times without turning off it first and it scared us each time ;)

The transmitter does work thru windows. My transmitter is mounted on a tree next to my driveway, about 100 feet from the house. The receiver is on a table in my living room. See my review for solving false alarms.

Somewhat. If a home is lined with radiant barrier or other metallic insulating material it will not work. Near a window allows it to function some.

Yes. We have four sensors with two receivers; two of the sensors were purchased separately. Both receivers (one upstairs and one downstairs) signal when any of the four doors are opened.

If the door has a glass window on it I would assume it would work the same way. If the window breaks or vibrates it should set off the alarm.

As long as the sensor does Not have anything i.e.- glass in its way it should work fine.
1816939
Yes but it cannot be behind glass as it is motion sensitive and will not detect movement thru the glass.

Yes. However, I use this on an outside security light, and it works well. As suggested, for an inside sensor, I would go with a switch sensor. I use one of these in my house, and it works well also.

If your only goal is to get a better signal by placing this in the window as opposed to next to you, that should work. This product is not an upgrade over internal GPS chips in most of the high end devices.

A glass window should not impede the signal. A metal screen or frame might interfere but it would have to be substantial.

Unless you have at least a few inches of wall surface inside your window frame, I'm afraid not. It needs to be nailed into the wall with a drill and it goes only straight across.

Yes, as long as you postion the GPS unit close enough to a window it can detect the satilite signal. Otherwise, the structure you are in will prevent the unit from detecting the signal and will tell you that on the screen.

Yes. We put one on the outside of our kitchen window so that we can read the outside temperature before we go out of the house. It works.

Possible. This motion sensor can only see about 30 feet if you point it down. Point it up and the wind will set it off. This means the sensor is close and receiver has a short radio wire on it which could possibly receive a sensor signal from a long distance.
