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
6 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.
