UKEW PIR Motion Sensor Outdoor IP65-180° Smart Motion Sensor Switch for Wall & Ceiling, 12M Detection Range - Waterproof PIR Sensor Outdoor Security Motion Detectors, Energy Class A+

After reading several reviews, some good,some bad, decided to purchase. Some of the reviews mentioned range not as stated, I have fitted the sensor at the recommended height and can confirm the range is over that stated, in fact picks up people walking by at about 16M. The other negative reviews mentioned not enough space for wiring and not being able to secure body to baseplate, this caused water ingress. I only used a single flex and had no trouble resealing the unit. Although it has only been fitted a few weeks, it has been exposed to some very heavy rain without any problems. The contols are easy to get to for adjusting, I have it set so it only comes on when dark, this works very well. At this moment in time i would recommend this sensor.

The surface of a stippled wall caused the base plate to distort when fixed in position so that the body would not lock to it after wiring. I had to make up a wooden base plate to fit the item properly. A thicker less flexible rebated base plate would be an improvement to an otherwise good product - hence only four stars. The product does however fulfil all I require and appears to be working well.

Does the job for me and works from a good distance. Occasionally turns on with a fox running by or similar, but always works when a car or people come by too. Took my electrician 20 minutes to install and had to use his own screws for some reason, but now it’s up and works very well so I’m happy with it. Also a much decent price compared to another similar looking German version with similar specs.

Works well, but getting the unit to sit on the wall bracket was a pain, I did achieve it but next time I will buy a larger unit, giving more room to connect the cables into the block and close it up.

I say easy to install, but it was my electrician did the work. Bought a few of these and had them installed last year. So far working just fine. They blend nicely against the black facia boards I have so don't stand out.

I fitted one of these to the rear of my house about 3yrs ago, no problems at all. So after a disastrous time of fitting /removing and returning cheap alternatives to the front of the property I saw this advertised and decided to buy. It's been working now for a couple of months with no problems even through very wet conditions.

Good sensor with good adjustments. However, be careful, if you power this up in daylight it doesn't see to settle and leaves the lights on, but if you power it up in darkness it settles and works just fine. It might be me but even the instructions say it takes 30 seconds to settle, but try as I might I can't get it to settle in daylight (yes I did try adjusting the light level adjustment - made no difference). That said, when you power it up in darkness it works just fine and is reliable.

I fitted this about one year ago and it worked well until recently when someone visited and they asked for the exterior lights to be turned on. Upon investigation, I can see that the white plastic sensor cover appears to have water ingress which probably explains why it no longer works.Update August 2024: Returned the defected unit and received a replacement which also leaked within a few months….
