I am confused. The description says "DETECTS"to 25'. So is it a motion detector? Then in reviews I read it last for how ever many hours. Which is it?

Not a motion sensor. Does not shine bright either. I purchased it and tried to return it within 30 days and the vendor refused.

There isn't any sort of motion sensor on this particular unit and therefore the comment about detection range isn't relevant. This unit operates on a light sensor, from dusk to dawn or however long the batteries allow (8 to 10 hours per full charge).

It is not a motion detector light. Not sure how long the light will stay on, but I have had them on for at least four hours and they worked fine.

I bet they meant to say "projects" to 25'. It works well depending on your application. It's one of the brighter and longer-lasting lights of this type and size - and I've gone through several different ones.

I've been using several in my kitchen for many years. I am 100 percent satisfied. Right now, I have one taped under a cabinet shelf (out of sight). It's about 5 feet from the ceiling fixture that contains 3 CFL bulbs. Other lights in the kitchen are LED, small florescent, as well as wall-dimmer based incandescent. The motion detector senses a person walking into the kitchen and sends a signal to an X10 relay to turn on all of the under cabinet lights. A turn-off signal then is sent after 30 minutes. It's great when you can walk into the kitchen in the dark and not have to fumble with a light switch. Be sure that the X10 relay is the "relay" or "switch" type and not the "dimmer" type.

Depending on the location of the camera, I have gotten between 60 and 90 feet for the motion detector to activate. The quality of daylight pictures is very good and the night quality is good as well.

Can't say about the metal barn part, but the 250' is no problem. I have mine about 800' from the receiver inside the house and it works fine. This thing has worked fine for a couple of years now and no false alarms. Cost more than the motion detector type, but much more reliable. Hope this helps.

Keep in mind the range for the motion sensor to operate is approx 40'. Also there is a visible red flash, while not very bright, may invite a vandals attention.

I'm afraid your Motion Sensor is exactly what it is - senses Motion and even wind... so, it will go off every time a motion is beyond a minimum detectable sensitivity.Best is to buy one, then set it up and see... if it is satisfactory enough, get the second one. If not, use it somewhere else, like checking for racoons/cats/possums going alongside house. It will go off, and scare the animal too. maybe will not come by that way again... hope this helped.

The range of motion I have experience is about 20 feet. That is in consistent way in which the sensor responds every time. I tried to expand that range an you can see that it is not that consistent in its detection, but that is my experience. either way putting it on a base before installing it to the wall or on the wall, my experience is that 20 feet is the most consistent range on this system.

this will only operate on motion that it detects.....if motion is obstucted, it will not detect....might I suggest the Fulcrum 20032-301. it is battery operated but you could stick it undernear the storage racks... it has great reviews...I am thinking of getting one myself for such a situation

You have the option of setting how long the unit will record for. For example, you can set it to record for 30 seconds upon each motion detection.

I did not buy a motion detector but I love the door bell. You may hae a good idea about the motion dectector. If you decide please let me know.

I believe the remote is supposed to have a 75ft range under ideal conditions. In practice, ours (outside, with no walls in the way) seem to have an effective remote range of 40-50ft. The motion detection range, though, may even be better than the 25ft claimed range.

Yes I had this set up to record 24 hours, and another identical cam on a separate channel set up only to record when the motion detection was tripped. The record time is determined by the setting of the DVR. Go for a bigger or upgradable hardrive.

The one I purchased works fine. It does have a very sensitive motion sensor with a wide angle. Check to see if there is any moving object within the swath of the detector.

It's a motion detector. It's installed in my bedroom closet and when all the lights are off and I've opened the closet door it turns on. Then goes off by itself. I like it a lot. A bit heavy for my use as it's really a porch light but, what the hey,...it fit my needs and it's attractive.

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.

I had read somewhere online that people had the batteries last 30days. I found that after 48hrs the motion detection started to be significantly less sensitive until I put fresh ones in again.

It's really not meant to be a security motion detector, will see you at about 5 feet away and light up your path....works great at that!
