Why do you need motion sensors?
Motion Sensors function is to detect moving objects based on the motion sensed in a particular area. It provides safety and security by
alerting whenever any motion is sensed.
A motion sensor is available for wall and ceiling mounting.
The ceiling mount sensor can determine the range of the object of person moving
till a particular extent. When it is wall mounted it can determine motion
around an area of approximately 120 degrees.
How to choose a motion sensor?
The foremost thing is to decide the purpose for installing
the sensor. If you want the motion sensor to detect the slightest of movement,
then make sure that you locate the sensor at a lower height where it can sense
movement immediately.
Different people have different needs. Some may need the
motion sensor to work at the slightest detection of motion and some might want
the other way. It is necessary that you should consider all the factors before
taking a motion sensor.
Once you have decided to buy a motion sensor, check for the
height of the ceiling. The height of the ceiling of your house does matter
because the motion sensor senses motion in a particular range. So if your ceiling
is very high, the motion sensor won’t sense it. This may lead you to believe
that the motion sensor is not working properly but the fact is a lot different
from what it seems. There are a few technicalities which you should consider
before installing a motion sensor at your place.
For efficient working of the motion sensor, you should place
it at a height as mentioned in the manual or installation kit. For better
understanding, we have provided a video of the working of the motion sensor
with the entire do’s and don’ts. Please watch the video before installing a
motion sensor to understand it better.
If you place the sensor at a long range, it may not sense
motion and would fail to work efficiently. If you determine the efficiency of
the motion sensor based on its cost, then that would be the wrong thing you
would be doing. Never buy a product just because it is cheap. Instead check out
for something that would be of your worth.
