Install motion sensors strategically in areas where detection is crucial, focusing on potential entry points and common pathways.
According to Arlo Blog, you should install motion sensors in key locations within your property. These placements are chosen to maximize the chances of detecting movement from potential intruders.
Here are the primary locations recommended for installing motion sensors:
- Entryways and other potential access points: Place sensors near doors, windows, or any other areas through which someone might enter your home or property.
- High-traffic areas: Install sensors in hallways, stairwells, or main living areas that an intruder would likely have to pass through after gaining entry.
- In the corners of a room: Placing a sensor in a corner often provides it with the widest possible field of view to cover the entire room effectively.
Basically, the goal is to protect places where someone may gain entry or areas through which any potential intruder will have to pass. By covering these critical zones, you enhance the effectiveness of your motion detection system.
