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.
