What is an inexpensive (but still decent) motion detector that works with an ELK system?
- Thread starter ghurty
- Start date
I have 4 Bosch blue line for indoor that work well:
Bosch ISC-BPQ2 Blue Line Gen2 Quad PIR Motion Detector
Sold by: J. A. Mac, Inc.
Condition: new
Quantity: 1
$38.45 each
I don't think these are the cheapest but they work well for me. I tried another type motion detector that cost $15 but it gave false alarms.
My 2 cents.

Found the PN for the Bosch replacement for the 835I:
ISC-BDL2
The issue I have with the ISC-BPQ2 is that even though it's a quad, it's still a PIR and succeptable to the same falses as a normal PIR, albeit on a smaller scale. Also not "pet friendly" which is huge if you're installing these in a lot of applications or have the potential to have an animal roam into the protected area (garage, barn, etc.)

I would recommend checking out Aleph's AL-40. It is a very cost effective motion sensor that comes with a pet immune lens. They are reliable, cheap, and I've never had a customer bring one back.
