Motion Sensor Gen 1 Installation Guide

Updated 

Overview

Motion Sensors are always on the lookout for uninvited guests. They can detect motion within 30 feet, with a 90-degree field of view. They’re also designed to distinguish between people and pets. If you have a pet in your home, check out the Pet Owners video on this page for additional installation instructions. 

Before Getting Started

You’ll need to install your Base Station prior to getting started. If you have pets, please watch both of the installation videos below.

What’s in the Box

  • Motion Sensor Gen 1 with mounting plate

  • Screws (optional for permanent installation)

If you want to mount your Motion Sensor Gen 1 on a wall using its adhesive backing, make sure the surface has been wiped clean and has had time to dry.

If you plan on wall mounting your Motion Sensor Gen 1 with the included screws, you’ll want to also have a Phillips head screwdriver available.
