Can
I make a different recording
for every transmitter?
Yes.
If you put one in your garage
and one in your backyard,
the recording for the garage
transmitter could be something
like, "There's someone
in the garage." and the
back yard could say, "There's
someone in the backyard."
This is how you would be notified
if someone trespassed into
those areas.
-
Is
the Sensor/Transmitter waterproof?
The Sensor/Transmitters can
be used indoors and outside.
They are designed to withstand
weather including rain and
snow but are not designed
to be submerged in water.
When installed outside the
Sensor/Transmitters do best
when in a covered area and
not in direct sunlight.
-
How
does the Sensor/Transmitter
work?
The Sensor/Transmitter is
a passive infrared receiver
(PIR). It detects movement
by the change it causes in
background temperature and
then transmits a radio signal
to the Receiver/Speaker that
movement has been detected.
-
How
far will the Sensor/Transmitter
send a signal to the Receiver/Speaker?
The Sensor/Transmitters will
transmit a signal in an open
area up to 1000 feet to the
Receiver/Speaker. Through
walls the Sensor/Transmitters
will transmit a signal to
the Receiver/Speaker up to
300 feet.
-
Will
tree branches trigger a false
signal?
It is possible for branches
to cause a false trigger.
The best location to install
the Sensor/Transmitter in
an area where tree branches
and bushes will not be blown
by a wind in the detection
zone of the Sensor/Transmitters.
-
Will
birds or dogs or cats trigger
a false signal?
The Sensor/Transmitters are
designed to ignore small animals
under 40 Lbs. To reduce the
possibility for a false trigger
caused by movement of a small
animal it is recommended that
the Sensor/Transmitters be
mounted at a height of 7 1/2
feet above the ground. The
lower the Sensor/Transmitters
are mounted the higher the
chance of picking up a small
animal.
-
How
often will the Sensor/Transmitter
send a signal?
The Sensor/Transmitter has
two modes for sensing movement
and sending a signal. The
(setup) mode that is set at
the factory identifies all
movement and transmits each
detected movement to the Receiver/Speaker.
The battery saver mode will
detect movement every 3 minutes
and then transmit to the Receiver/Speaker.
Removing the jumper in the
Sensor/Transmitter will setup
this mode.
-
Will
the system work through walls
of my home?
The system is designed to
function through the interior
walls of a home and exterior
walls of a home. The Sensor/Transmitters
have difficulty transmitting
a signal through aluminum
siding or metal surfaces and
are best located on a window
in that situation.
-
How
many Sensor/Transmitters will
the system recognize?
There is no limit to the number
of Sensor/Transmitters that
can be installed with a system.
There are 3 voice messages
that are available for the
Sensor/Transmitters to activate.
-
How
long will the Receiver/Speaker
work off the battery?
The Receiver/Speaker is designed
to function as a power back
up in the event of a power
outage. The Receiver/Speaker
battery will function for
up to 2 hours depending on
the amount of speaker activity.
-
Can
a Sensor/Transmitter be recognized
by more than one Receiver/Speaker?
The Sensor/Transmitter can
be set to activate an unlimited
number of Receiver/Speakers.
-
Will
the Sensor/Transmitter recognize
a small child?
The Sensor/Transmitter is
intended to identify children
of about 40 Lbs or larger
when the Sensor/Transmitter
is installed at a height of
7 1/2 feet above the ground.
If it is desired to identify
smaller children then the
Sensor/Transmitter will need
to be installed lower to the
ground. When animals are present
they may create a false trigger.
-
Will
the Sensor/Transmitter work
in the dark?
Yes, the Sensor/Transmitter
will work in the dark or in
full light.
-
How
long will the battery last
in the Sensor/Transmitter?
The battery in the Sensor/Transmitter
can last up to 1 year depending
on if the Sensor/Transmitter
is set to battery saver mode.
Temperature can also affect
the life of any battery. Operating
a battery at cold temperature
will reduce its life.
-
How
large of an area do the Sensor/Transmitters
monitor?
The Sensor/Transmitters are
designed to monitor a 40-foot
by 40-foot area when they
are installed at 7 1/2 feet
above the ground and there
are no obstructions.
-
Where
can I get additional Sensor/Transmitters?
Additional Sensor/Transmitters
are available on this web
site.
