I just hooked up the VT38a camera/motion
sensor/floodlight. How do I reduce the time
in between two motion detection periods. I
have set the minimun delay of 1 minute. So
as soon as motion is detected the
camera/floodlight go on. They switch off
after 1 minute. But before a new motion is
detected the module takes about 45 to 60
seconds to detect it. In this period even if
we walk past it nothing happens.

I'm not sure why it takes so long to detect the second motion signal but, I use the motion sensor on the floodcam and an extra eagle eye sensor just in case. The only problem I have been having is that after the off signal is sent to the receiver, the lights still stay on. the lights even turn on in broad daylight sometimes, but by using two sensors. It always rec. quickly.

THis horribly cheap crap takes time to "re-set" after every trigger.  The $20 motion activated Home Depot light on my garage doesn't need any time to re-set, but this cheesy, cheap crap they sell to us needs additional time.  I'm finding that when I get home at night, they don't come on at all until I've physically hit an on button to "wake them up"
