The Smart Alarm Wireless Indoor Security Camera placed on a shelf.

Placement of your Smart Alarm Wireless Indoor Security Camera can vary from home to home. To get the most out of your camera, we recommend placing it in a spot that covers a significant portion of a room. 

Here are some tips to keep in mind when finding the right location to install your camera:

  • Place the camera in a room or area where subjects are likely to spend time in if there is an alarm

  • The motion detector is most sensitive to side-to-side motion with its 125-degree field of view

  • Do not position the camera so that only a doorway is in frame

  • Do not position the camera to look outside through a window or doorway

The following is an example of a floor plan and how we would recommend placing the Smart Alarm Indoor Camera within this home.
