Before you begin to install your security system, analyze the premises to determine your security needs. Consider those doors and windows which are more likely to be used as points of entry by an intruder, the ones that are poorly lit or the entrances that can not be seen from the street.
Sketch a map of the premises and determine which doors and/or windows need contact sensors and which areas of the premises need to be monitored by a motion sensor. We recommend that you put one door/window sensor on the door you enter/exit from most often, the other sensor on your secondary entrance and your motion sensor monitoring the bedrooms, (stairway or hallway leading to the bedrooms).
Below is an example of how to position your security system in a house.
You may choose to install a motion sensor to protect any valuables such as antiques or paintings. Point the motion sensor directly at the valuables and if they are disturbed in any way the alarm will be sounded.
