The ZSE70 Outdoor Motion Sensor is a powerful tool for enhancing your home’s security and automation. Whether you’re setting it up for smart lighting, security alerts, or home automation, proper installation is essential for optimal performance.

If you’re mounting the ZSE70 sensor on drywall, you’ll need to take extra steps to ensure a secure and stable installation. This guide will walk you through the necessary tools, mounting techniques, and best practices to safely attach your motion sensor while avoiding damage to your walls. Follow along for a simple, step-by-step process to get your sensor installed and working efficiently.

1. 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.
2. Gather your supplies:
   • Pen or pencil
   • Hammer
   • Small Philips head screwdriver
   • Compact drill with attachment slightly smaller than the anchor size
3. Mark the screw placement location using the mounting base and the pen/pencil as illustrated in the video below.
4. 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.
5. Gently hammer each anchor into the wall.
6. Thread the screws through the holes in the bracket and insert them into the anchors.
7. Tighten the screws with the small Philips head screwdriver.
8. Slide the sensor onto the bracket and adjust the angle.
