After purchasing a kit what to do and how to install and to make sure you can cover all the main entry and secondary entry points into the home. Coming to the placement of window censors is explanatory but the motion censors are best placed at the doors. Our simple diagram show a basic layout and where to cover.
Some simple tech knowledge..
When looking to purchase a smart alarm or any security motion cameras be clued up. PIR or Passive infrared sensor or PID passive infrared detector both work on the principle of motion detection using motion with some manufacture’s claiming that they will not detect pet movement. Each motion sensor will be activated by motion and with the window censors they become activated after the sensor is broken alerting the hub which in turn will alert the smart phone app / Tablet or set the the siren off hopefully deterring any intruder. To connect or download the relevant app please refer to the manufacture’s website of your app store.
