Description
Features
Compatibility
Compatible with your SimpliSafe Gen 3 home security system.
Full room coverage
Detects motion within 30'. The sensor has a 90° field of vision, giving you a full range of coverage when placed in a corner.
Detects intruders, not pets
These precision-engineered motion sensors are designed to detect the unique heat signature of people. Your dogs and cats under 50 lbs. won't trigger the alarm.
Simple to set
Set the sensor to be active only in away mode (so that you won't trigger it when you're at home) or both home and away modes (for rooms that you want covered with a motion sensor while you're home).
Battery pre-installed
The motion sensor battery is included. It's ready to work right out of the box and lasts several years.
Easy to install
Like all SimpliSafe technologies, the motion sensor is easy to add to your system. Place it on any wall in any room (ideally one an intruder would pass through), and tap Add Device on your keypad. You're ready to go.

motion sensor
||Posted .Owned for 3 months when reviewed.Simplisafe is a great alarm system. It is very convenient to buy at Best Buy. The alarm does not need to have an internet connection, since it has its own built in. This motion sensor caught the movement from a water leak I had. Saved me a lot of $$

SimpliSafeMotion Sensor
||Posted .Owned for 8 months when reviewed.This motion sensor works very well as it picks up motions at a good distance from the door and windows. The motion sensor always alert us of any movements or activities outside our home.

Needed another one
||Posted .Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.I recently bought a complete Wireless Alarm System from the SimpliSafe website, but needed another Motion Sensor because I installed one in a room that is protected by a SimpliCam, which I had not installed yet because I installed Sensors first. Rather than take it down and leave a nasty spot in that corner, I left it there and bought another one. Best Buy had them at my local store for the same price as the SimpliSafe website, so I bought one to, not only have it immediately, but also save on the shipping. The only thing different about it was the Retail Packaging.

Yup, it works.
||Posted .Owned for 7 months when reviewed.I use this in my tool shed. Great range to the base station. Have even surprised myself a few times when I opened the shed by mistake. So....I KNOW it works.

Good security system
||Posted .Owned for 1 month when reviewed.The Simplisafe components are easy to install and setup. Put base station on your wireless network. Put control panel in add device mode, detect sensor, name sensor. Peal off stickers on the back, chose your location stick to wall. Done. Works great. I had an issue installing a couple of the components because the wall surface was a little rough but pushing harder took care of keeping the components stuck to the wall. This is especially important for the motion sensors... If they come off the wall they will set off the alarm if the alarm is on.

Nice add on
||Posted .Owned for 1 month when reviewed.The basic package I bought four months ago had only one motion sensor in it and I needed three. The first one was installed in the most crucial spot in my home. I bought this now to add to the system; using BB reward points to get it a little cheaper since these never really go on sale, at Best Buy or on the SimpliSafe site. When I added/installed this I had to put the system into test mode. In less than 20 seconds after doing so I received a call from the SimpliSafe monitoring center making sure I was okay and that I intended to put it into test mode. Impressed.

Peel, press, and go
||Posted .Owned for more than 2 years when reviewed.Peel and stick really. The device communicates with the base the commands for programing, naming conventions, and suggestions for placement are very well thought out.

SimpliSafe Motion Sensor
||Posted .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).

What experts are saying
Q: Questionhow far away will a motion sensor alert? and whats the recomended height from floor?
Asked by nick.
- A:Answer I believe they show 30 feet but don’t quote me, I know the only I have set up is about 25 to 30 feet away when it detects me. I have mine set up about 7 feet off the ground maybe a little more. They say if you have pets to set them up lower but turn them button side down instead of button side up.

Q: QuestionHow long will it record motion
Asked by Sandy.
- A:Answer It will detect motion for as long as your system is armed. I have mine set up to detect motion while I'm at work and when I'm sleeping. You can set it up to trip the alarm when it detects motion or send a push notification to your phone.

Q: QuestionCan I put this camera inside mailbox to catch people steeling from mailbox
Asked by Mailbox.
- A:Answer Hi. The pictured item is not a camera but a motion detector There are cameras available but you would need to ensure your WiFi reaches. You would also need to figure out how to secure it so the person doesn't just take the camera. I'd recommend looking for a discrete location where the camera is pointed at the mailbox rather than something inside the mailbox.

Q: QuestionCan the sensor detect sound or record sound?
Asked by Sound.
- A:Answer Our Motion Sensor works by infrared - so it picks up heat signatures moving around in the room. But it does not capture or record sound in any way.

Q: QuestionCan this work in an attached garage during the cold winter months in Minnesota?
Asked by MLE001.
- A:Answer For most of our sensors, including the Motion Sensor, we have a recommend operating range between 32F to 120F. The sensor may still be able to function beyond that range, but with decreased performance.
