The passive infrared motion detector installed into the solar security system triggers the light when a movement within its 180 degrees radius is detected. It can detect motions as far as 10 to 20 meters from the place where it is installed. There are some solar lights in which the motion detector can be adjusted to make sure motions like the one from animals will not activate the light. The length of lighting can then be adjusted as well. There are some that has a built alarm system where in the siren and the light are triggered at the same time but the siren feature can be turned off if wanted.
