What is the MegaHertz of a Honeywell 5898 Motion Sensor?
Like all Honeywell 5800 Series Sensors, the Honeywell 5898 operates at 345 MHz. It is compatible with most Honeywell and 2GIG Systems. Learn about the Honeywell 5898.
Added:

Do Alarm Motion Sensors Work Through Glass?
Motion sensors detect changes in infrared (IR) energy. This cannot be done through modern glass, so motion sensors do not sense through glass. Learn more about PIR motion sensors.
Added:

Where Should I Install My Motion Detector?
There are several things you should keep in mind when choosing a location for a motion detector. The ideal location for a motion detector is in the corner of a room and away from any windows. The device should be placed 6 to 8 feet off the ground. Learn more about where to install a motion sensor.
Added:

What is a Microwave Motion Detector?
A motion that uses microwave technology will send out microwave signals to determine the structures in a room. The signals will bounce off the structures and return to the sensor with precise timing. A change in this timing means that motion is present. Learn more about microwave sensors.
Added:

How Does a Motion Detector Work?
Generally, a motion detector will function using one of two technologies. These technologies are passive infrared sensing and microwave doppler radar. Some motion sensors are dual-tech and utilize both of these technologies for detecting motion. Learn more about how motion detectors work.
Added:

What is the best wireless motion detector?
Finding the best wireless motion sensor is tough. Learn about the best wireless motions on the market for every application. Whether its price, outdoor zones, long-range needs, pet immunity or low temp sensor integration that you need, Honeywell 5800 series motion sensor have you covered!
