can the geofence be made not in a circle

yes, a geofence can be set with as many as ten points according to the manual. I have only set one with four, but can be done pretty simply. See manual page 14 - 15 to get details - (think you can download this)

Remember it is a "motion detector" not a size detector. Might try aiming the sensor a bit higher than normal, but at some point you will defeat its purpose.

It is best if the sensor is placed where nothing will break the line-of-sight between the sensor and the receiver, like a car, metal building, etc. The unit will sometimes NOT WORK AT ALL if placed where anything metal, especially things affected by a magnet, can break the line-of-sight between the sensor and receiver, but if the sensor is placed really close to the receiver, sometimes it works OK. I would not chance it to work if the vehicle was passing between the sensor and receiver. Hope this helps.

You can customize it within limits. The shape of the circle doesn't change. You have to move it around the house and experiment with the size of the outside area you want covered.

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

It will detect movement 360 degrees directly below the sensor in an umbrella-type coverage.... Otherwise, It can only detect motion 180 degrees.

We put ours too close to the entrance of our circle drive and it usually failed to alert for cars coming in if they drove close to that side. It never failed to alert on cars exiting the driveway. The range is really good so if you have room place it a few feet back.

Yes, also you can designate how big the moving object is that triggers within those fields.Using the "mask" option, the area for triggering can be non-rectangular or even non-contiguous.I use it to mark an area where a shadow moves during the day and designate it as a "no-trigger" area.

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.

Well heck I guess you could put it anywhere really, within range of the sensor. I had it in a window for several days before putting it up and it went off every time I walked by, a distance of a good 3-4 feet or so with a ~45 degree cone. Once I put it on the shed I mounted it directly above the door, and it goes off every time I reach the doors. That height is about 7 feet.

You can adjust the field in which it sprays but yes, anyone moving into sensor view will set it off. I have mine set so the walkway is just out of the spray area but we set it off every time we walk by.

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

Sort of. There is a nylon strap you can adjust the angle with. It's not as solid as a metal stop would be, but it works.

NO. Also keep in mind, fence gates are not a tight fit. Not only that, on a breezy day... your alarm will be going off every 2 seconds! You would be better off with a motion detector facing an area of none movement that would intercept any movement. Hope this helps.

I doubt it. We sewed the sensor onto a collar so it would stay right in front of the sensor and still had no luck.

No, but it can be set at an angle, hands-free, in landscape position. The screen rotates accordingly. Peggy

Unfortunately no they cannot. They use clips shaped like a triangle that requires three to be placed in triangle shape. You could just set them there but they would not be connected.
