Can I restrict the motion detector so it acts as a doorway monitor (e.g. "electric eye") and ignore motion inside a room?

It does not look like it. You may be able to cover up part of the sensor with black tape to try and narrow it's view

I use black tape to cover up a part of the motion sensor lens. This allows you to customize the field of view a bit.

I don't think so, Richard. The device is equipped with PIR (passive infra-red) motion sensors that trigger audio playback at a distance of up to 12 feet. Any motion caught in the field will automatically set off the device after a 3 second delay.

i have mine as a doorway monitor but it is outside of my front door on my porch. as visitors walk up walkway the sounds of the amazon forest greet them as the landscaping in my front yard is a lush tropical feel. my neighbors call it the rain forest house! if you use it outside of the doorway it won't interfere with the room motion-only approaching motion.

If you want the motion detector to be less sensitive adjust the sensor downward.

It will detect/trip on any movement in its field of range. You can adjusted so it will aim high enough not to to cover the floor. Better yet, you can just set the alarm in "HOME" setting , just like if you're home , then the motion detector becomes inactive, just your contact alarm.

Camera Based Motion detection has always been problematic. the best ones let you set specific areas to monitor (like your desk rather that your whole office, or the gate and doorway rather that the whole back yard, etc). I haven't bought this one yet so I don't know if that feature is offered, but it is pretty standard.

Yes. I do. The door sensor transmits an open signal and can be read by as many detector/indicators as you want. The range however is limited. My second detector won't work in our bedroom which is at the opposite end of the house, about 50 feet away. So I located it in a spot I would see in the evening a little closer to the doors. If I were you I'd start with one and try it in the places you might want. If it works fine buy another. I like the system. I really thought it was going to be so so because the price was so resonable. It has been completely reliable I the past 6 months.

I previously answered yes by mistake. The outside motion detector flashes but not the inside monitor.

Hi it dose not have a motion detection. It is a camera lens what you wire into your monitor.

No, not without adding another switch to the circuit. The timer on the unit only goes to 20 minutes. The nice part is the timer resets every time it detects movement, I can set it for 5 minutes and it will stay on for as long as I am in the room and it detects movement and won't turn off for 5 minutes after I leave the room.

No it is not a motion detector. You can however add 2 more transmitters to it. The indicator light will show which transmitter is going off. This way you will know what door your company is at. Hope this helps you. I am very pleased with mine.

Yes and no. It doesn't have a separate motion detector however the dvr will process a change in the image it sends as "motion".

Yes. The motion sensors can be paired with a door or window in a room. They won't sound the alarm unless both the door or window and the motion sensor is triggered. Pets & people can move through the motion sensor's view without triggering the alarm until the door or window is opened. Then both are triggered and alarm sounds.

Check the manual for the motion detector. There were old ones where the electronic switches in the motion detector got, well, confused if they were feeding something other than an electrically simple incandescent.

There are two models. One has a motion detector, the other doesn't. You should not try to install a motion detector on any unit unless it is designed for it. You are better buying a unit that is a motion detection unit. Most motion units has a setting to function as day/night.That being said, I'm pleased with this unit as a dusk/dawn. I installed it on the house corner over the driveway to cover the front door, drive and garage.

Yes - there's a home setting as well as an away setting. Home is the window and door sensors. Away is for all devices - so motion detectors are active. Any detected movement would trip the alarm. I've had mine go off now twice - but not sure what set it off for sure either time. I may have to tweak their position slightly to avoid false alarms.

I don't believe it can. But I don't think it's really meant to be moved around. For example, the door sensor really only makes sense if it stays in a single room.

No. The motion detection would be controlled by the DVR. This is a standard analog camera with infrared for night vision.
1582206
Yes. If it is in the range of the camera, it will set off the motion detection.
