Motion Sensor Gen 2 Installation Guide

Updated 

Overview

Motion Sensors are always on the lookout for uninvited guests. They can detect motion within 35 feet, with a 90-degree field of view. The Motion Sensor Gen 2 also has Pet Mode to distinguish between people and pets. 

Before Getting Started

You’ll need to have a Gen 3 SimpliSafe® System installed at this location.

What’s in the Box

  • Motion Sensor Gen 2 with mounting plate

  • Screws (optional for permanent mounting)

If you want to mount your Motion Sensor Gen 2 on a wall using its adhesive backing, make sure the surface has been wiped clean and has had time to dry.

If you plan on wall mounting your Motion Sensor Gen 2 with the included screws, you’ll want to also have a Phillips head screwdriver available.
