Comparison mounting locations
The following comparison shows the advantages and disadvantages of the different mounting locations.
Ceiling & Ceiling 45°
Advantages |
Disadvantages |
---|---|
Offers the largest coverage area and is therefore ideal for larger rooms |
Requires access to the ceiling, which may require additional effort or tools for installation |
Provides 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 can be more demanding compared to wall mounts |
Suitable for environments with limited or crowded wall space |
|
Supports full functionality including "Empty Bed" (events outside the bed) or "Empty Room" (events at the door) |
Low wall mounting - wall at 1.5 m height
Advantages |
Disadvantages |
---|---|
Easier to install and adjust than ceiling mounting |
The coverage area is generally smaller than with ceiling mounting |
Suitable for rooms where ceiling mounting is not possible or practical |
May have limited detection ability in larger or irregularly shaped rooms |
Provides sufficient coverage for smaller or medium-sized rooms |
The placement must be carefully planned to avoid obstacles such as furniture or furnishings |
No support for "Empty Bed" (events outside the bed) or "Empty Room" (events at the door) events |
High wall mounting - wall with tilt 45°
Advantages |
Disadvantages |
---|---|
Offers a compromise between ceiling and wall mounting in terms of performance and detection |
Depending on the size and layout of the room, the coverage may still be less than with ceiling mounting |
Can provide better coverage than a standard wall mount, especially due to the tilt to optimize the field of view |
May not be as effective in rooms with high ceilings or obstructions |
Easier to install than ceiling mounts and yet better performance |
No support for "Empty Bed" (events outside the bed) or "Empty Room" (events at the door) |
Can be used in rooms with sloping ceilings or high ceilings |
Conclusion
- Ceiling: Best for maximum coverage and performance, but requires more installation effort.
- Low wall mounting: Easier to install, but offers less coverage and may encounter obstructions.
- High wall mounting: A balanced option with better coverage than a standard wall mount, but less than a ceiling mount.
Choose the configuration based on your room size, layout and installation option. It is recommended to use the ceiling mount or, if that is not possible, use the wall mount with 45° degree tilt option.
