Very sensitive and large vertical and horizontal area of detection. Includes optional sensor window minimizer to reduce side sensitivity. Excellent range to base unit.
No wires so installation is a breeze, in fact you can just set it down on a high shelf.
Have not experienced any false alarms due to reflected light or any other reason - it detects motion via infrared energy... heat. Will work when pitch black or in daylight.

Has an internal antenna.
If the base unit is just out of range or operates intermittently due to a weak signal, there is a 6" internal antenna (not mentioned in the manual)connected and wrapped inside the housing. The housing can be opened and the antenna can be extended vertically out of the top of the sensor housing by cutting or drilling a small hole for the antenna to exit the housing. This will extend the range somewhat.

I prefer not to have strangers install security in my home and I love this product. Very easy to install and works wonderfully.

I BOUGHT THE MACE PRE-PACKAGED SECURITY KIT. I HAD TWO LARGE ROOMS TO COVER EACH IS ABOUT 30 FEET WIDE WITH ONE BEING ABOUT 40 FEET LONG AND THE OTHER, 20 FEET LONG. THERE WAS NO NEED FOR THE DOOR SWITCH SO I'LL USE IT ELSEWHERE. THE EXTRA "PIR" COVERS ONE ROOM WHILE THE SECOND "PIR" DOES THE SECOND. NOTHING GETS BY AND, IT WAS AN EASY SET-UP. LESS THAN AN HOUR AND THAT INCLUDES TIME TRYING TO TRICK IT. THE KEYFOB, I LET MY KIDS USE IT WHEN THEY VISIT. I MADE ONE CALL TO CLEARIFY THE WAY SOMETHING WAS WRITTEN; EXCELLENT CUSTOMER SERVICE/SUPPORT. I ALSO BOUGHT THE ALARM HORN

Good product works well with security system. Easy to set up. Product is inexpensive as well and the nine volt battery lasts a long time.

This is the motion detector for the Mace wireless security system. It almost does everything it should but has some room for improvement.

First, it should be available in other colors than white. I would suggest they make a black version and a charcoal gray version.

Second, it should have a sensitivity dial just like the motion detectors used in outdoor motion-detector lights.

Third, it should have a switchable daylight detector photocell so it could be set to not react during daylight hours. This is because it has an issue with false-positive signals due to placement and light fluctuations during certain hours of daytime.

Fourth, they supply a adhesive "window" to restrict the angle of detection. This should be a clip-on plastic piece.

Fifth, the detector has a red LED light to indicate when the sensor reacts. This needs a switch so that the light can be turned-off. You may want the sensor to react and send a wireless signal to the base unit without flashing a light that indicates it was triggered. During set-up you would want to test when the sensor "sees" something so switching the LED light would be very useful.
