Question 1

It doesn't seem that it would work in a room that has a lamp on a timer due to the light sensor.  Any thoughts?

Accepted Answer

In my bedroom I have this on a timer and a lamp on a separate timer about 2 feet away.  When you put it "on" on a timer, the sensor does not work on the device.  The timer control the device.  I have it set to come on at a specific time in the early evening and go off at 11; same with the lamp timer.   I also have one that is always on in the living room to make it look like someone is in the living room sleeping or watching TV.  You can't see it working in the daytime, but you see it at night.  I am very very happy with this device.

Question 2

How much brighter is the FTV-11 compared to the FTV-10? Enough to warrant paying $15 more?

Accepted Answer

The FTV 11 simulates a 40” LCD tv. While the FTV 10 simulates the light from a 27” tv. The same company sells a FTV 7 that does the same as the FTV 10 but with less timer options.

Question 3

Can someone tell me, the blue lights means seven hrs or four ?  my instructiions were not in the box.

Accepted Answer

The small, solid blue light means the timer is on for 7 hours. The small, solid red light means the timer is set for 4 hours. For the instructions: The small switch on the back has four settings:  off, on (on all the time), 4 (hours after dusk), or 7 (hours after dusk). The writing on the switch is very small. Also, it is best to aim it away from the window and onto a wall.

Question 4

Does this device trigger false alarms when using a security camera that records based on motion detection?

Accepted Answer

All the security cameras I've seen and used detect motion by changes in light patterns on the central DVR unit if it is that type of system. Maybe some self standing cameras detect motion from infra red heat generated by people and animals like motion activated light fixtures do. So, I would have to answer this by saying it depends on your camera system. My systems have setup screens on the DVR where you can block out or desensitize areas where there is constant motion, and still get triggered by areas that are not blocked out.
