OUTDOOR MOTION DETECTORS WIRELESS MIAMI BEACH CORAL GABLES

Outdoor motion detectors wireless Miami Beach Coral Gables can detect movement, temperature, humidity, lighting and water, all triggering pre-set scenes. When coupled with Z-Wave sirens, strobes or alarms, motion sensors can enhance the security of your home, notifying you of activity in and around your home even when you’re far away.

What’s the best way to make sure no one’s sneaking around your house at night? That’s a no-brainer—a motion detector would have that creep behind bars in no time. But what kind of motion detector is right for YOUR home? That one’s trickier. With so many types and technologies, you might be tempted to throw your hands up and try your luck with a baseball bat—but don’t give up just yet! Here’s a handy breakdown to help you get the most effective protection for your lifestyle, without getting bogged down by tech specs. OUTDOOR MOTION DETECTORS WIRELESS MIAMI BEACH CORAL GABLES

WHAT KINDS OF MOTION SENSORS ARE THERE?

Driveway Motion Detectors

Get a lot of visitors? Mount one of these sensors outside and it will let you know if someone is walking, biking, driving, or riding a dinosaur up toward your house. Though mainly used for driveways, these alerts are also good for watching over other outdoor structures, such as stables, pools, or sheds. There’s a wide array of driveway motion detectors available, and if the idea sounds right for you, there are a few things you should consider before settling on one:

Range: If the sensor is too far from its accompanying receiver, it won’t help you at all. Shorter driveways will be fine with a basic model (most have around a 400 ft. range), but if your house is far from the street — or you’re trying keep an eye on private hiking trails or a warehouse complex — you’ll want to go for a special long-range one, which can beam its signal up to half a mile. OUTDOOR MOTION DETECTORS WIRELESS MIAMI BEACH CORAL GABLES

Response Type: Different driveway motion detectors also trigger different responses — some set off a sonic alert inside the house, effectively acting like a long-range doorbell (“it gives you time to throw some pants on,” as one user put it). Others are more security-focused, allowing you to network multiple sensors into a walkie-talkie, which then tells you which section of your property has been compromised. If you’re really ambitious, you can hack one so that it makes an axe-wielding clown fall out of a tree. Whatever works. OUTDOOR MOTION DETECTORS WIRELESS MIAMI BEACH CORAL GABLES

Motion Flood Light Outdoor Motion Detectors Wireless

A motion-triggered light works like a driveway alert, but instead of just letting you know when it senses motion, it turns on a light for the world to see. If the illuminated figure is a burglar, he’ll skedaddle, but if it’s you, you’ll be able to make it to your front door without tripping. Win/win. There are all different kinds of lights available, from “intimidating helicopter-style floodlight that pins you in place” to “welcoming, but still revealing, electronic lantern.” Some units let you choose your own light. Look for one that has a timer or a photoelectric cell so that it automatically switches off during the day, when it would be useless anyway. OUTDOOR MOTION DETECTORS WIRELESS MIAMI BEACH CORAL GABLES

Motion Detector Guard Dog Outdoor Motion Detectors Wireless

Want all the protection of a snarly German Shepard without any of teeth? Put one of these near your front door and it will “bark” angrily when someone approaches. Many models sense movement through doors and windows, so you can keep them snug inside. Some are fancy and change the speed, volume and type of bark depending on how far away the visitor is. Others can be set to less-fraught sounds, like bells or rainforest noises, when you’re expecting friendly visitors. It’s the most flexible pet you’ll ever have. OUTDOOR MOTION DETECTORS WIRELESS MIAMI BEACH CORAL GABLES

Security Alarm Systems Outdoor Motion Detectors Wireless

Indoor motion sensors are an integral part of most home security systems. When combined with other sensors, they help to give a home full coverage — if an intruder sneaks into the home in some unexpected way, his movements will get caught the second he strides towards your flatscreen TV. There are many, many types available, but before you get into design decisions (black or white?) or technical specs (how big do you want your area of coverage?), there are a couple of basic decisions to make:

OUTDOOR MOTION DETECTORS WIRELESS MIAMI BEACH CORAL GABLES

OUTDOOR MOTION DETECTORS WIRELESS MIAMI BEACH CORAL GABLES

Wired or Wireless: Wireless motion detectors are particularly useful because they allow you test different placements to find the most effective position. Set one too high on the wall, and your burglar might find it easy to sneak by; set it too low, and your dog will be setting off your home’s alarm every two minutes. With a wireless detector, it’s easy to find the sweet spot that nabs the burglars and nothing else. But keep in mind, most wireless motion sensors have a maximum range of 400 ft—so if you’re trying to protect Brangelina’s 5,000 square foot Los Angeles beach house, a wired sensor will be a better fit. OUTDOOR MOTION DETECTORS WIRELESS MIAMI BEACH CORAL GABLES

Pet-Safe: If you have a four-legged friend in your home, you’ll want to make sure he or she isn’t mistaken for an intruder. Some sensors are designed to be “pet immune,” and will ignore pets up to a certain weight. Others can be made that way by placement, testing, and masking. OUTDOOR MOTION DETECTORS WIRELESS MIAMI BEACH CORAL GABLES

HOW DO MOTION SENSORS OUTDOOR MOTION DETECTORS WIRELESS WORK?

There are four types of motion-sensing technology available, and each has its ups and downs. Here’s an overview:

PASSIVE INFRARED [PIR] OUTDOOR MOTION DETECTORS WIRELESS

All warm-blooded creatures (yes, even that lizard of a burglar is warm-blooded) emit infrared radiation. PIR motion sensors contain a thin film of pyroelectric material, which reacts to infrared radiation by generating electricity. A PIR Motion Sensor will trigger your burglar alarm when this influx of electricity occurs. PIR sensors are inexpensive, don’t use much energy, and last forever. They’re very common in indoor alarms.

ULTRASONIC OUTDOOR MOTION DETECTORS WIRELESS

Ultrasonic sensors can be active or passive. Passive ones listen for specific sounds, like glass breaking or metal on metal. These are very sensitive, but the downside to this is that they’re often expensive and prone to false alarms. Active ones emit pulses of ultrasonic wave (sound waves pitched higher than humans can hear) and then measure the reflection of the waves off a moving object. Dogs, cats, and some fish can hear ultrasonic frequencies, so an active ultrasonic alarm might unsettle them. OUTDOOR MOTION DETECTORS WIRELESS MIAMI BEACH CORAL GABLES

MICROWAVE OUTDOOR MOTION DETECTORS WIRELESS

Microwave sensors emit microwave pulses and then measure their reflection off of objects, in order to tell whether or not those objects are moving. These are also very sensitive, but they can sometimes “see through” nonmetallic objects and so might detect moving things outside of the target range. They also use a lot of power, so sensors are often designed to cycle on and off. This makes it possible to get past them, if you know the cycles. Electronic guard dogs use microwave sensors. OUTDOOR MOTION DETECTORS WIRELESS MIAMI BEACH CORAL GABLES

TOMOGRAPHIC OUTDOOR MOTION DETECTORS WIRELESS

Tomographic sensors emit radio waves, and sense when those waves are disturbed. They can “see” through walls/objects, and are often positioned in a way that creates a radio wave net that covers large areas. They are extremely expensive, so they’re usually used in warehouses, professional storage units, and in other situations that require a commercial level of security.

COMBINED TYPES OF OUTDOOR MOTION DETECTORS WIRELESS

Some motion detectors combine sensor types in order to reduce false alarms. However, dual sensors are only triggered when both types detect motion. For example, a dual PIR/Microwave sensor will start out on the PIR setting, because that takes less energy. When the PIR is tripped, the microwave part will turn on; then, if the microwave is ALSO tripped, the alarm will sound. This “double trigger” is great for avoiding false alarms, but runs the risk of missing real ones.

TIPS OUTDOOR MOTION DETECTORS WIRELESS

Don’t point your indoor motion sensor towards a window. This is a false alarm waiting to happen — a PIR sensor won’t catch a human through glass, but it could be fooled by a car headlight or concentrated burst of sun.

Don’t put your indoor motion sensor in a particularly drafty place, or near an HVAC vent. Too much hot or cold air blown onto the sensor could trigger a false alarm.

Motion sensors have blind spots. For example, a PIR sensor might not detect something that is moving in a straight line directly toward it. Do some testing, and if possible, build in some redundancy — for example, two sensors at perpendicular angles would make up for each others’ limitations.

Make sure your outdoor motion sensors stay clean! Dirt or grime on the front window might inhibit them from being able to sense motion.

¿WHAT IS WIRELESS?

 Wireless communication, or sometimes simply wireless, is the transfer of information or power between two or more points that are not connected by an electrical conductor. The most common wireless technologies use radio waves.

With radio waves distances can be short, such as a few meters for Bluetooth or as far as millions of kilometers for deep-space radio communications. It encompasses various types of fixed, mobile, and portable applications, including two-way radios, cellular telephones, personal digital assistants (PDAs), and wireless networking. Other examples of applications of radio wireless technology include GPS units, garage door openers, wireless computer mice, keyboards and headsets, headphones, radio receivers, satellite television, broadcast television and cordless telephones.

When we called, there was practically no wait time, and the consultant took her time to answer all of our questions. She spent over an hour customizing a plan unique to our needs.

Throughout the whole conversation, there were no pushy or high-pressure sales tactics. Not only was she knowledgeable, but she also created a plan that gave us the safety we wanted without upselling us on equipment and features. Whereas most alarm companies would be happy to add on features, she did her best to ensure we got everything we needed without unnecessary extras.

No Hidden Fees

Transparent pricing benefits you in the long run. When we spoke to Frontpoint security staff, they were very clear about their pricing. You pay a flat monthly fee, a specific amount up front for your equipment, and a cancellation fee if you discontinue the service before the contract is up. That’s it—and that’s pretty standard.

What you won’t find with Frontpoint are fees for moving with your equipment or a reactivation fee to set up your alarm system in a new location. To top it all off, whereas a lot of security companies will restart your term when you move, Frontpoint will continue your contract term from where you left off. And if your credit score is 600 or above, the alarm company will give you a $300 discount on your equipment.

  • Motion detectors, which sense changes in a room caused by human presence. Special detectors are also available for people with pets, to avoid false alarms.
  • Magnetic door and window contacts, which, when the alarm system is activated, form a circuit that breaks when the door or window is opened, sounding the alarm.
  • Detectors for smoke, fire, carbon monoxide and/or broken glass.
  • Panic buttons (hand-held or mounted in strategic locations).
  • Pressure mats placed under rugs to detect footsteps.
  • Closed-circuit TV system to allow monitoring and/or recording inside or outside your home.
  • Temperature gauges to detect if your furnace is broken and the pipes are about to freeze.
