Comparison mounting locations

The following comparison shows the advantages and disadvantages of the different mounting locations.

Ceiling

Benefits

Cons

Offers the largest coverage area, making it ideal for larger rooms

Requires ceiling access, which may require additional effort or tools for installation

Allows a clear, unobstructed view of the room, improving detection accuracy

May not be feasible in rooms with very high or inaccessible ceilings

Recommended for optimal performance

Installation adjustments may be more challenging compared to wall mounts

Suitable for environments with limited or crowded wall space

Supports full feature set, including "Empty Bed" (events outside the bed) or "Empty Room" (events at the door)

Low wall mounting - wall at 1.5 m height

Benefits

Cons

Easier to install and adjust than ceiling mounting

Coverage area is generally smaller than a ceiling mount

Suitable for rooms where ceiling mounting is not possible or practical

May have limited detection capability in larger or irregularly shaped rooms

Provides adequate coverage for smaller or medium-sized rooms

Placement must be carefully planned to avoid obstructions such as furniture or fixtures

No support for "Empty Bed" (outside bed events) or "Empty Room" (door events) events

Conclusion

  • Ceiling mount: Best for maximum coverage and performance, but requires more installation effort.
  • Low wall mount: Easier to install, but offers less coverage and may encounter obstructions.

Choose the configuration based on your room size, layout and installation option. Ceiling mount is recommended.
