It isn’t obvious from the included instructions, but the security system’s motion sensors seem to have a fairly narrow angle of view. They’re able to see a fair distance – one at each end does a good job of covering my 40’ central corridor – but if mounted at the recommended 7’ height it’s quite p…

Great tips, if you want to suggest coming with 2 adhesives, post in the #wishlist please!

Ref: your #1 about the angle/distance and can walk under it without triggering it. That’s by design, not accident. Their intent was to not pickup the movement of pets. So, knowing this, you can install the sensor upside down and change the degree it “sees”. I encourage you to look at 3M Command S…

Reviving an old thread here. I see the advice where it’s possible to mount the motion sensor upside down. Silly question, but how? It doesn’t hold in place on the provided mount upside down. Am I doing something wrong?

Can you post a picture of this “mount”? The motion sensor should just have the sticky tape on the back.

My sensors came with adhesive already mounted on the corner bevels of the sensors to mount it this way. Granted, the adhesive is crap and they hit the floor within a couple weeks, but 3M ultra adhesive fixed that real quick.
