Can the sensor detect motion through glass - i.e. mount inside to detect motion on the other side of a window?

I didn't try it but would think it would work but the range would be limited more.

No it does not. I installed in a large glass fixture and it could not see through the glass. I moved the sensor outside the glass and kept tweaking the sensitivity, but was never able to get it to work correctly. The whole thing is sitting in my garage and I am now installing insteon switches.

English please??? I think you're asking if you can put the camera in a window. If that's your question I'd say, "no, the glass would probably block the motion sensing of the camera". I'm not sure about that but there's also the problem of the flash reflecting on the window and whiting out the picture. I'm just a consumer, not a scientist, so my answer is just a supposition.

Not sure which control panel you have but most like mine are motion activated as well as door activated. Could you possibly have something moving in proximity to the sensor?

Thanks for your interests. The window/door sensor can work as the glass break detectors. Because when the glass is broken, the parts of window/door sensor will be seperated, then they will send alarm to main device.

Not sure what you mean by working through opal glass fixture? The sensor is mounted on the post, below the fixture. It doesn't work "through" any glass fixture at all. If you mean to have the senor see motion through an additional piece of glass outside of its own lens, I don't know but doubt it would work as well.

I put the sensor inside a utility closet at the side of my house. It works great. I would think it would work just fine between a window and screen. Also, there is a round attachment on the back of the sensor that you could put a string around and hang it from that.

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

There is only one sensor and it is inside the unit. I don't think this is meant to be outside, it mounts on the wall in the drywall.

The answer is yes. Think of this just like a light at the end of your 3 way circuit. If the light would turn on then the sensor would also be engaged. The light (down stream) from the sensor will be on as needed when the sensor detects motion and no daylight.

My home security guys placed motion sensors lower the ground, then upside down...so the the sensor sees upward from where it's placed. This may work the same way.

It mounts flat to the SIDE of something like a wall or the exterior side of an eave. It is not meant to be hung either upside down or from a celing. I am sure it would still work, but my concern would be the sensor would be pointing straight down. You would have to be underneath it for the sensor to kick on.

My Amzdeal Motion Sensor is located in an unobstructed and works well there. In order to answer your question, I installed it in my bathroom fixture which is the closest thing I have to a recessed ceiling with a white -frosted glass cover fixture. Unfortunately it did not work.

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.

I would think you could but it was not designed that way,I'm not sure how the motion sensor would work,,,

The window sensors only work when someone tries to open the window. Some systems also have 'glass breaker' detectors if someone tries to break the glass, but I don't like those as any vibration can cause them to trigger.

Ahhhh, duh, only if the sensor is able to see motion! You need to ask yourself, can the sensor see any motion, from being covered by the shade? No? Then the answer is No. Who asks some of these questions......
