Follow along for a simple, step-by-step process to get your sensor installed and working efficiently.
- Choose your mounting location. Tips:
- Select a location at least 7 feet from the ground
- The sensor detects motion the best from the side of the lens, so keep that in mind when choosing your installation location and the angle of install.
- Gather your supplies:
- Pen or pencil
- Hammer
- Small Philips head screwdriver
- Compact drill with attachment slightly smaller than the anchor size
- Mark the screw placement location using the mounting base and the pen/pencil as illustrated in the video below.
- Pre-drill the openings for the anchors. Ensure you use a bit that is thinner than the anchors so the anchor is able to grip and hold firmly.
- Gently hammer each anchor into the wall.
- Thread the screws through the holes in the bracket and insert them into the anchors.
- Tighten the screws with the small Philips head screwdriver.
- Slide the sensor onto the bracket and adjust the angle.
