How Does Gotcha® Work?

The Gotcha infrared sensor “sees” small temperature changes 
caused by the motion of people or cars within its Detection Zone 
and turns on lights automatically. It welcomes visitors and may 
deter intruders.

How long do the lights stay on?

Lights remain on as long as there is movement within the 
Detection Zone. Once the zone is vacated, lights will remain on 
approximately 5 sec. up to 15 min., depending on the time control 
adjustment. During initial 60 sec warm-up time, lights remain on.

Will the sensor detect animals?

Gotcha may detect large animals. 
You can limit animal detection by 
turning down sensitivity knob or 
by placing opaque weatherproof 
tape on the lower part of the lens.
