Can I use this to catch which neighbor is dumping dog poop on our yard at night?

Yes you can. There is no flash so the person won't know you are getting them on camera. Put a lock on it so if the person sees it they can take the card and there goes your proof. Good luck!

It's open at the bottom, so you can look up into. Even with a flashlight if necessary. And in our case, it's in the yard in view of the house, so I would expect to see occasional activity if there were any there. And as noted elsewhere, you would see some evidence of their presence, such as droppings.

Victor, I could not get this gadget to work at all. I had it installed facing direct East sun. I ended up trashing it just before I moved from my former home. It just did not keep stray dogs, skunks, raccoons, cats, mice, etc. off my property.

yes it can be activated by animals passing the motion detector anytime of day. One thing to be certain of is to keep the line of sight clear. I once parked my car in between the receiver and the motion detector and it did not work. Otherwise it is fantastic to give a heads up that someone is coming up the driveway. Mine is more than 100 feet from the house and on the wrong side of the tree it is mounted on.

I would guess that it would if you hold it close enough to the ground, but do you really want to crawl around swiping every inch of your property? Might be better off with one of those stand up metal detectors like people use for beach combing. Just a thought.

The LOC8TOR Lite doesn't alert you when your pet goes out of the "safe range". It does light up and makes a tracking noise when your pet is nearby so you can "zero in" on their location.

Yes but I do not recomend buying do to the large number of false alarms even after adjusting to the lowest sensitivity. Do not buy this detector for outdoor or driveway alarm.

could I set the receiver in the garage to listen outdoors to hear if my dogs are barking in my yard?

Not sure what you mean by "Person Detector". There are passive IR motion detectors with selectable sensitivity. They should allow you to filter out small animals, etc.

I don't know. Probably, I'd guess. Whichever one got the dial tone or called first. One other thing to mention...don't place the sensor anywhere a mouse might walk in front of it. I figured that out after the second time it alerted me (and the county sheriff) about a possible intruder at my lake home.

We live in the country. It's real dark out here. I think it's plenty bright for our use. It can light up the trash barrels around midnight if I think a dog or other creature is in it.

No , I don't think it will work. We purchased one for the neighbors dogs who are small dogs that bark constantly, and put it as close as I could, which is about 40-50 feet away, which is what they say. The problem is the dogs move farther away than that. Anyway, it is just sitting out there now, and the dogs are barking.

I was able to see all the spots from the pets of the previous owners of the house (eww!). They showed up more faintly than what my dog had recently done, but it was definitely visible. Make sure the room is completely dark and you shouldn't have a problem detecting any spots.

It works great for detecting motion in a narrow beam out from the unit, so if you place it such that the perp has to cross the "beam" to get to your door, then it will work for you. I don't know how it holds up outdoors but I've been using in indoors for over a year to catch a sleepwalker and it works great.

Yes you could pick up Giaridia or worms in the yard, especially if animals defecate there. It will get on the outside of the ball.

It will detect each and every person or animal that walks in front of it, no matter whether they are coming or leaving. Most likely, an ordinary porch light will not trigger it, a very large yard light might, depending on where the sensor is aimed.

Yes, i have two smaller dogs and it easily detects them teen feet away. Mounted 8 ft vertically.. Not Sue what sensitivity i have it on as the default worked great.
