BlueToast 0 Posted December 8, 2017 Hello! I am looking for a PIR motion sensor that I could wire into our Hikvision DVR. This motion sensor would be for monitoring a gate that is 75-90' away from where the sensor would be installed. From the point of intended installation, 90' makes it to the hinge of the gate (it is a swinging/articulating gate), and either 75' or 80' to the opening point/where the gate is locked. I want to cover the whole gate plus some. I have sought high and low for a PIR motion sensor and am having difficulty as the ones that would work are not rated for outdoor use. For example: the https://us.boschsecurity.com/en/products/intrusionalarmsystems/detectorsandaccessories/motionpirmicrowave/motionpirmicrowave_products_54110 - Bosch DS720i Long Range TriTech PIR Detector (10.525 GHz). The location of installation is underneath 4-6' of roof underhang. Rain does not reach this part, but fine mist with wind might. Snow fall would not reach this spot. I am not a professional but an amateur doing this the first time and enjoy challenges, learning, and DIY. I would like to learn more about this. I appreciate any help and advice that can be offered.

tomcctv 190 Posted December 8, 2017 Hi. Rain or snow does not have to have contact with sensor. .... so just sensor under cover will not help I would forget trying to get a pir sensor to work at that distance. I would look at GJD wireless pir heads. Very reliable and last 4 years on one 9v standard battery Mount pir at your gate ..... set detection patern..... also control on and off and schedule from recorder http://www.gjd.co.uk/products/wireless-detectors 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
