how far will it sense motion

Ours is about 200 ft. but we live in the trees. It may do better in an open area. In fact wild turkey's set our off Saturday evening.

This motion sensing light with a 100 watt bulb will detect any motion. Since my light ficture was put in the wall by the builder it is 1 foot down from the ceiling on the wall and faces outward. The unit works as I walk into the room from my Kitchen. You will not have any trouble putting into the socket and then put in the light bulb. You will notice on the socket how to place it to let it detect any thing 360 degrees. Mine lasted over 10 years or better before it went out. This one is brand new and I think it will last until I die..I am 82

Depending on the distance, it will be less accurate the farther away you get. It should give a decent approximation at that distance.

It's kind of from the camera to infiniti (as far as the camera can see). Varies with the amount of light the camera "sees" + the size of the object in motion. One camera we have set can detect motion from about 40 to 50 feet away, with light from passing cars on the street further than that, maybe 60 feet. It records 10 seconds before the trigger event, then as long as there is motion to record. It has also recorded small moths that has flown in front of the camera (unexpected sensitivity). VERY pleased with this product & it's capabilities inside our home.

The sensitivity varies from unit to unit and also is a function of the size of what you are trying to detect. For example, a mouse is unlikely to trigger the sensor at 20 feet away, but a human being probably will. The sensor is motion sensitive and does not, so far as I know, detect infra-red heat. I have three units and their sensitivities vary from about 15 to 20 feet. You will also have to experiment with the aim of the sensors as the angle of view and the directionality of the sensors also seems to vary from unit to unit.

It should.. these sensors detect distances (from the sensors to the object that is close)

You don't indicate how close these trees are to the intended location. If you a putting it on a building, be sure to aim the sensor down. The are sensor blocks (small plastic strips) included with the light to block off motion area from affecting the sensor. We have an evergreen about 20 ft tall adjacent to the driveway and even with our high wind, the sensor is not affected. Sometimes you have to do a fair amount of fine tuning when you install any sensor light. We bought this one because it appeared to be able to sense motion even if mounted pretty high, higher than most other sensor lights sold. It is mounted about 23 feet up over our garage doors. It works perfectly everytime, but it did take time to fine tune the sensitivity and directional aiming of the sensor.

I placed the Frostfire about 8-9 feet off the ground and find that it responds to movement within a 10 ft. radius. I have a porch light at the door which is about 20 feet from the motion light. It does not interfere with the motion detector.

It depends on how sensitive you set the sensitivity slider motion-sensor. Too sensitive, and you get the breeze blowing any trees at a far distance. Ours works at about 300 feet and we had to turn the sensitivity to about 1/4 up. Otherwise, it records everything you don't want to record.

According to product details... "It will be in "dim light" mode until it senses motion; when sensing motion it will activate the "bright light". "Bright light" turns off 10 seconds after motion stops. Detects motion within 10 feet - 120 degree angle.

I think they consider 4 feet away to be ideal. You should also note the detector will only work on panel doors (you mount it on the top panel) and not solid one piece doors the swing upwards or carriage style.

Not sure what is being asked here, but the alarm unit will make it's sound if anything or anyone moves in front of the monitor/motion detector unit within a range of about 9 feet, in my experience with it.

It will detect/trip on any movement in its field of range. You can adjusted so it will aim high enough not to to cover the floor. Better yet, you can just set the alarm in "HOME" setting , just like if you're home , then the motion detector becomes inactive, just your contact alarm.

So far 2 feet but could be more it detected something but after 2 feet we were tired of fighting the same waves. Lol

I found it would reliably reach about 50 feet. Overall I was not confident with its directionality after letting my 3 year old disappear into a crowd. The device showed he was to my left, then to my right. It gave too much false feedback.

Shockingly very far away if you set the sensitivity all the way up. My home is 3000sqft and if I yell from upstairs it will respond... Not always correctly but you get the point.

I've not gotten the motion sensing to work very well. but i've not messed with it much. You can use it in anything
