Abstract
An apparatus and method are provided for a security device for residential and/or commercial buildings. A motion detector is installed on a fixture such as a wall or ceiling. A wireless remote is used after installation of the motion detector to set the motion detector to a walk test mode, eliminating the need for the installer to open up the motion detector to switch it to a walk test mode. After walk testing the motion detector, the wireless remote is used to set the motion detector back to a normal mode, eliminating the need for the installer to open up the motion detector and avoiding the problem of the installer forgetting to switch it back to a normal mode. The motion detector can also switch back to a normal mode after a predetermined amount of time by use of a timer.
