What distance will this effectively pick up the motion of a person walking past?

The distance I used was about 15 feet and it picked up the motion of a human being. I threw an object such as a shirt or shoe and it didn't pick up the motion within the 15 feet. I hope this helps.

The effective range for this device without any obstructions should easily reach 50ft at full strength. I have personally tested it at a range of 25ft without any interruptions in movement or degradation to it's precision.

Maybe about 1 or almost 2 feet.. not very long but does the job if where you need it to go is not too far.

It would only give you the distance from the device itself to the target, or direct line of sight distance. It doesn't calculate "drop" from a higher vantage point.

It's hard to answer that in our measurements , it's an appropriate speed , not too fast and not too slow. Your not held up by it for more than 5 seconds. Best answer would be , the speed would be about the same as a normal person walks

it all depends on the strenght of the incoming signal. It could go as far as 3 miles in line of sight.

I only used this device for TV. However, based on its size, shape and weight I doubt that it would stay in place while walking and I'd be surprised if it did while running.

No, first off it will slow down in time. Second there is simply not enough kinetic motion to be effective. Get a rotation box instead.

Detection range side to side is real close to 180deg. It is quite sensitive of my movement even at the end of this range! Also, it does not seem to be activated by tree limbs blowing - amazingly. Distance for detection of a person (for mine at approximately 10 feet high) is about 40-50 feet. I am VERY happy with this item. It lights my entire path from the car to the house and stays on while I am moving. Very easy to adjust to preferences too.

I am not sure that would work. I think this device uses temperature changes to detect movement. For example, I have this right next to my front door. If I open the door (and it opens into the sensor) nothing happens, as soon as my body is clear from the door then the device detects something. Perhaps something using the contact closure module will be more effective.

if it connecting no farther maybe 200 feet might do it does not pick up very far at all even though claim long distance

The range for it to pick up motion is much more than 6 feet. I would guess about 20 feet. I base that on one I put in the front yard to chase off hogs. I activated its red blinking light by walking down the road, which I would guess to have been about 20 or more feet from where I had placed the CatScram.Edit: I should add that it is quite effective against the hogs, but is not waterproof. Even though I only used it against hogs sporadically and on clear nights, the hogs changed their behavior to rip up the neighbor's yard instead of mine.

It does sense movement to the side - Not sure how far - at least 3 ft. I absolutely Loved this for the 3 days that it worked! Even though Ad says Outdoors - The paper work says INDOORS ONLY ! ! ! On day 3, I had it outside, and there was a misty rain for 2 min. and the light never worked again.

Very Accurate and if you mark a way point you can get back there within 3 feet. Just mark the point where you start from, it's a straight line direction but if you are in an open field it can get you back without a problem.

It goes what ever speed you go. I suppose you could rig it, but I have to hang on so I couldn't do much "work" while walking.

Of course it depends on the fan setting, but I have noticed walking toward the fan from 15-20 feet away there is air movement on the medium speed setting

I believe so. We have our unit positioned far from our house along a lengthy driveway and it detects someone walking by or animal (deer) movement.
