I maxed the sensitivity for the sensor and it's amazing. We tested it a couple of times and it had great accuracy even with low light.

Hardly notice these sensors after mounted because they are nice and small. Adhesive strips for both corner and flush mount. Screws if you need them. I've always used the adhesive strips and never had a problem. Decent price

Easy to set up and work is very precise. Onlg complaint is the batteries die pretty fast in high traffic areas.

Super easy component to add to my existing SimpiSafe system. 5 minute install and configuration. The hardest part is deciding where to put the sensor (i.e. which corner).

Effective, easy to install, does the job! It took less than an hour to install. Maybe took a few hours of planning proper placement. Very easy do it yourself, I’m 69.5 years and I found it fun and simple to follow directions. Customer service was top notch!

I was amazed how well this motion detector worked. You should put these at about 5 feet for normal use which is a little different than the older motions.
The simplicity of just literally sticking it to the wall was awesome.
I highly recommend.

Easy Setup

Like the ads say... easy setup. I purchased several motion sensors and positioned them strategically throughout the house. Now I'm able to still walk through most of my home while the system is still active, while having full coverage on all exterior walls. The only thing I wish was if the sensors could be paintable in order to conceal them better, not for security sake, but just for interior design.

Easy to link to your current system and works great. I tested to see how well it picked up and within a slit second the alarm tripped. Works great.

I bought this as a replacement for one I had managed to break. The SimpliSafe alarm system is quite nice, reasonably priced and easy to install.

The good: Picks up motion fairly well.
The bad: No LEDs on the sensor. There is no way to see where coverage area starts and ends. Other products have LEDs so that you can walk around and see where motion is picked up. The only way to check for coverage is to turn the system on test mode and trigger the alarm. After the 3rd trigger, Simplisafe started calling me which was a pain.
Installation: You can only stick the motion detector either flat on a wall or in a corner. It would be nice if you could adjust the angle that it points at.

Instructions were very helpful and simple to set up. I have mine just sitting in various areas where they are not obvious. It would be a big plus if they came in other colors like black, brown, different shades of gray, earth tones possibly.

I wasn't sure how a motion sensor would work, but it really does work well and alerts if there's movement in the room. A nice addition to the covered doors and windows.

Purchased an extra sensor to add to my simplisafe system, the set up process is so incredibly simple. Adding extra components to the simplisafe system is one of the easiest things I’ve done when dealing with tech stuff. The motion sensor works as advertised and is very reasonably priced.
