[QUOTE="SPECIAL LOCATION, post: 531910, member: 250"] Also... How close are you to the main road? And what is the quoted range of the PIR detector? many sensors have detection ranges of 8 to 12m AND many properties are NOT 8 to 12m from the road.. It could be that your sensor is picking up the vehicle itself not the headlights? (but as the sensor is set to operate at low light levels, the cars will also have their headlights turned on at the times when the PIR triggers!) It could be a faulty over-sensitive PIR..? If its less than 12months old.. I would think you need to be contacting your installer to come back and fix the problem.. As legislation such as "Sale of good act 1979" & "Supply of Good & Services Act 1982" etc.. require ALL goods & services provided to be of 'merchantable quality' and 'fit for purpose'.. It could be that your installer has fitted the wrong product in the wrong location... in which case he/she should rectify the problem at their expense, or give you a refund.. . [/QUOTE]
