Best Practices
The following are suggestions to ensure the effective installation of the peripheral devices:
For all peripherals installed using double-sided adhesive mounting-tape, first clean the surface
from dirt, dust, and oily materials to ensure that the adhesive adheres well to the surface.
PIRs and IPDs should be installed on a flat wall surface, or in a corner of a room.
PIRs and IPDs should be installed with the spherical lens facing downwards.
