What to know before buying

Listing details to confirm

The listing describes the sensor as corded electric and also says “battery not included”. Its details list a maximum range of 3 Metres, while a feature claim gives motion detection up to 10m and presence detection up to 3m at a 3m mounting height. It also lists Wall Mount, but calls the detection zone 360°. Confirm the intended range, installation orientation and power arrangement for your setup. The dimensions are listed as 10D x 10W x 10H centimetres, so confirm these before planning installation. The stated 3-year warranty is a manufacturer description, not confirmation of coverage terms.

Only aggregate rating data is supplied, with a very small stated rating sample and a split between five-star and three-star categories. This is too limited to identify dependable customer-reported strengths or problems. It does not establish whether the sensor's stated coverage suits a particular installation.
