What are some of the more reliable photoelectric sensors out there? I can only find a Honeywell one that could be used for skylights.

high-tech laser unit may have detection range shortened in hot weather.
Hi Brian,
I think this should read Passive Infrared not laser. The laser is not effected by heat, wind or light. The laser also generates x/y coordinates that tell you the exact location of an event. This reduces the expense by lowering costs.

Outdoor detection, SpotterRF is the BEST way to go. That tech is amazing.

Anyone have any links or information on covert motion detectors? i.e, ones that are outdoor rated, have black or dark fresnel lens and are generally designed to be hidden?

Thanks Brian,
Is an option, but all my work is in the rural / wilderness area including forestry.
Will do some research on these and see if they are a fit.
Most of my solutions I use are modified for a purpose.
