Is the 100 degree field of view omnidirectional or directional?

It's not like the one in the picture.. The sensor on the one I got was flat, not bulging out.... IT'S BETTER than the one pictured and works GREAT.

I now have three of these units in my home, and I have given two others to friends. They are very effective in darker areas, as the attached light comes on when one walks through. The first controls I purchased are nearly one year old and are still coming on--and turning off--as needed. The only issue I have is that the light sometimes comes on when there is no motion in the room. It does then turn off, so I don't consider this a problem for me.
