Please log in for more thread options I'm trying to catch a vandal on video. I've set up a camera, and I'm using X10's motion sensor (MS14A) as the trigger for the VCR. My problem is that the MS14A has a fairly wide angle of sensitivity, and if I aim the sensor at the area where I expect the perp to be, I'll catch every passing car in the neighborhood. Is there a way to constrict the angle within which this sensor detects motion? Thanks, -- DaveC me@privacy.net This is an invalid return address Please reply in the news group | |||||||||||||

Please log in for more thread options Yes, use standard black electrical tape to cover up the sensor. -- --------------------------------------- Brian Dye brian@tech-home.com http://tech-home.com --------------------------------------- | |||||||||||||

I put the sensor inside a tube, point the tube to the area I want to protect, and adjust location of the sensor inside the tube for angle of sensitivity. | |||||||||||||
