puzzled Posted June 12, 2009 Share Posted June 12, 2009 Could you please advise on suitable outdoor sensors to control outdoor security lights (already installed). I require 3 corner mounted sensors with a minimum range of 12 mtrs and 1 standard mount with a range of 20m (if possible). All will be exposed to the weather and all should be in black. I live in the countryside and do get deer & foxes in the garden, are these likely to trigger the sensors? Regards, puzzled Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Secware_Tech6 Posted June 12, 2009 Share Posted June 12, 2009 Yes standard sensors will be triggered by cats, foxes etc. However risco make a unit called the watchout that is designed to ignore cats etc. However deer is a different matter. The target size and density is similar to a person. If you have deer then a PIR is not a viable solution IMO. You should be looking at active beams.
