PRODUCT SUMMARY
The Image Sensor is a pet immune PIR (passive infrared) motion detector with a built-in
camera. The sensor is designed to capture images during alarm or non-alarm events.
Users can also initiate image capture on-demand to
Peek-In
on their property. Images are
stored locally and uploaded either automatically when motion is captured during alarm
events or manually when requested by the user. Once uploaded, images are available for
viewing on the Alarm.com Website or an Alarm.com Smart phone app. The sensor is
battery powered, all wireless and simple to install and operate.

HARDWARE INSTALLA
TION
Choose Sensor Location and Mount
a. Determine sensor mounting location
based on installation scenario and criteria
noted in the “Installation Guidelines.” For best image capture, the target capture
areas should be centered in the frame. (e.g. If customer wants to capture people
coming through door, the doorway should be centered in camera/PIR view.)
b.
Determine desired mounting angle
for customer scenario; attach mounting arm to
sensor-back and re-attach sensor to sensor-back. The mounting arm attaches to the
back of the sensor enabling the sensor angle to vary based on the application. To
obtain the full 35’ x 40’ coverage area, mount the sensor at a 6
˚
downward angle. This corresponds to a “teeth up” orientation of the mounting arm.
For most smaller areas in residential installations, mount the arm with the “teeth
down” for a deeper angle (18
˚
). Secure the back of the sensor to the mounting arm
with the provided screw. If the camera will be mounted perpendicular to the wall, the
mount the sensor without the mounting arm/bracket directly on the wall, at a 12°
angle.

d.
Choose applicable mounting bracket
for customer scenario. The sensor
hardware packet contains 2 mounting brackets for different mounting scenarios.
Use the provided large screws and anchors to attach the bracket to the wall.
Flat Wall Mount
Corner Wall Mount
Mark location of bracket holes on mounting surface at a height of 8 feet for maximum
coverage area. (Leave at least 3 inches of clearance above the sensor to allow for
battery replacement without uninstalling the mounting bracket.)
e.
Place sensor with arm on mounting bracket.
Adjust the horizontal positioning of
the sensor to point towards the desired coverage area. To adjust positioning, lift the
mounting arm at least 1/3 of the way off the bracket and rotate the arm.
f.
Secure the mounting arm location
by sliding lock pin into the hole. Use the washer
and remaining small screw to secure the lock pin by screwing upwards through the
bottom of the hole in the mounting bracket.
(Note: To make it easier to adjust
PIR/camera field of view in step 10, complete this step after horizontal sensor
positioning is finalized.)
Complete PIR Testing
Verify that PIR coverage adequately covers area by performing a walk test.
PIR Lens and Camera Coverage Diagrams
Figure 1.Side View: PIR Lens Coverage
Figure 2.Top View: PIR Lens Coverage
As indicated in Figure 2, the camera coverage area is narrower than the PIR coverage
area. When installing, mount sensor where subjects are likely to be centered in or across
PIR and camera field of view.
D. Sensor LED
By default, the image sensor LED does not illuminate when activated by motion unless the
sensor is in test mode. The LED can be enabled via the Alarm.com Dealer Website for
each Image Sensor on a customer’s account. When enabled, the LED illuminates for 3
seconds upon motion activations (at most every 3 minutes while disarmed).
E. Image Capture Settings
Capture settings are configured automatically for each sensor based upon the customer’s
Image Sensor service plan so it is important to subscribe the customer to a service plan
before
enrolling the sensor into a network.
For more information on the Image Sensor service plan options visit the Alarm.com Dealer
Site (www.alarm.com/dealer).
SENSOR RESET BUTTON
Insert a paperclip into the hole on the front of the sensor to access the reset button. Press
and hold for 3 seconds to power cycle the sensor. Press and hold a full 10 seconds until
the sensor LED flashes rapidly to reset the sensor and clear it from its network.
(Note: The sensor can only be cleared from its network using the reset button if it is
currently not communicating with its network. If the sensor is still communicating with its
network, clear sensor by deleting it from the system it is enrolled in.)
