I live in the Interior of British Columbia,
Canada and it some times gets below -30c. I
have had 2 Active Eye Motion Sensors
outside for over 3 years and they still
work fine. My cameras are inside so i cant
vouch for how they will act.

i don't know but i do know that alkaline
batteries do not work well in low
temperatures (i would try lithium aa or aaa
batteries)
