Re: Motion Detectors: Infra-Red vs ??



Per G. Morgan:

That was my initial plan.   One of those jobbies that shoots a
stream and ratchets around a radius.

Posted something on misc.rural and, from the replies, it sounds
like deer quickly acclimate to almost anything that is thrown at
them: noise, lights, water....    There's an initial period when
they're frightened by anything unfamiliar, but it soon becomes
familiar.

One guy said this sprinklers actually *attracted* dogs and birds.

So I really don't know what the other half of this little venture
is going to be..... if anything.

But the detection/trigger part is good enough for now bc I also
want selected floodlights to come on when somebody's walking
around in the driveway or yard.
