Looking for Motion PIR, not X10

[Threadhead]

I would like to start adding some motion sensors in locations to track movements, but I don't want to use X10 ones. Instead, I would prefer wired ones that go on the ceiling and have a 360º pattern. But I haven't found any.

Does any one know where to find a few?

I have heard good things about the tiny Visonic units, but no first hand experience.

I bought a nice cheap unit from AutomatedOutlet.com, but I haven't had a chance to install it yet, but the specs look good. But from what I have heard, I have to agree with Wayne, Visonic is a decent brand.

I have a few Visonic Clips that I've played with but haven't installed. Overall, though, I've been happy with what I've seen playing with them.

But, they don't fit your requirement for a 360deg view from the ceiling.

Electron,
I checked out AO, but didn't see any 360º PIRs. Just the standard corner mount with curtain/pet alley/etc. Did I miss something?

I am not sure about the pattern, I just mentioned them as they were relatively cheap.

Most of the good motion detectors are wired, 12 volt operated and have contact closures for their outputs. This means you need to supply 12 volts DC and have a way to monitor contact closures via a power flash, SECU16/Ocelot, Game Port Plugin, etc...
