Description
A motion sensor detects the body heat of a person moving within its coverage area. It is the sensor that protects indoor spaces, such as the living room, a hallway or the cash area of a business, and it complements the door and window contacts: if someone gets in through an unexpected spot, the sensor picks them up as they move.
Placement is everything. We mount it in a corner, at the height the manufacturer specifies, facing the main path through the home or shop, and away from windows with direct sun, ceiling fans, air conditioners and curtains that move, because those changes in temperature and movement can cause false alarms. If you have dogs or cats, there are models that tolerate small pets, and we help you position them to reduce false triggers.
We work with wireless sensors for wireless panels and wired sensors for zoned panels. Before selling you one, we confirm it is compatible with your panel.

Frequently asked questions
Can I use the motion sensor on my patio?
Indoor sensors are not made for outdoor use. For patios and carports there are special outdoor models, which we recommend based on the location.
Why does my alarm go off by itself?
Often it is a poorly placed sensor near a fan, direct sun or an air conditioner, or one with a low battery. We check it and move it if needed.
