Hello

im after a long range PIR detector for a customer, the gate is approx 14/15m from the corner of the house so needs to pick up that far. Any recommendations? All the ones I've seen so far are either very expensive or only have a 12m max range

cheers
 
clipsal infrascan. not the prettiest looking thing in the world but has a rated range of 18m and very rarely fails in my opinion,
 
Cheers mate, detection angle is pretty poor though

Yes, I noticed that! I've seen a few long range sensors and detection angle always seems to have to take a hit! If the sensor is at an angle to the gate (and positioned correctly - perhaps a bit of trial and error) then that shouldn't matter too much as the person entering the gate should still pass through the detection zone.
