With more than 20 years of experience in the security world, you have come to the right place for the answer to that question! Here you will find, among other things, where you can best install contacts, sensors, detectors and cameras. Where you are going to place the alarm system has a huge impact on its operation.

Install motion sensor

An important part of reliable security is installing a motion sensor. These sensors cause an alarm to go off. They are often sensitive to movement and heat, so that natural influences such as the wind have no influence. Choose a place where the intruder will walk by anyway. Do you have pets? Prevent a false alarm and hang the sensor high (1.20 m)! In addition, it is important that when you install a motion sensor that it is not hidden behind furniture or curtains.

Place camera

To clearly identify unwanted guests, it is important to place a camera in a suitable place. Install the camera in the corner of a room to minimize the blind spot (missing view) of the camera. Avoid corners above a window or door and don't let the camera film downwards. When you use an IP camera, the cameras capture sharp images from a distance. When you are going to install a camera, it is best to aim it at doors.

Place siren

Something that should not be missing in your alarm system is a siren. These places are best done in a place where the alarm is heard everywhere. This depends on the house, but common places are the living room, hall and stairs. The development of alarm systems has gone fast in recent years. There are different types of sirens with sound and light signals. Do you use an alarm system with light signals? Then you can place the siren in areas where someone is often present, such as the living room, bedroom or entrance in the case of companies.
