3.3 Sensor Installation

Install the door/window sensor and PIR motion detector in strategic locations:

• Door/Window Sensor: Mount the two parts of the sensor on a door or window frame, ensuring they are aligned and within 1 cm of each other when the door/window is closed. Use the provided adhesive pads or screws.
• PIR Motion Detector: Install the motion detector in a corner or on a wall where it can cover the desired area without obstructions. Avoid placing it near heat sources or direct sunlight. The detector is designed to detect human movement within its range.
