Smart. I like it. Thanks Ethan.

When they say 360°, they do they just mean "ceiling mounted"?
IMHO, it's unhelpful for Axton to do this, so vote unhelpful if you agree.

Interesting, I'd like to get my hands on one and do some testing.
A little pricey though.

I've used nano and some other Axton products (mostly exterior ones) with success. Very pleased with quality and support. Not a cheapo thingie, but you get what you pay for. It worth it, especially when you need reliable IR or IR/Visible light coverage.
