Honeywell IS280CM Frequently Asked Questions
What Is the Coverage Area of a Honeywell 360° Motion Sensor?
A 360° motion sensor will have a larger area the higher it is mounted. But mounting it too high will prevent it from detecting the motion below. Learn about 360° Motion Sensors.
What Is the Range of My PIR Motion?
Every passive infrared (PIR) motion has its own range and field of vision. The range for one PIR motion can be considerably different from that of another. It is very important that you use a PIR motion with an appropriate range for the situation. Find out the range of your PIR motion.
Where Should I Install My Motion Detector?
There are several things you should keep in mind when choosing a location for a motion detector. The ideal location for a motion detector is in the corner of a room and away from any windows. The device should be placed 6 to 8 feet off the ground. Learn more about where to install a motion sensor.
Will Curtain Movement Set off Infrared Motion Sensors?
Moving but otherwise inanimate objects, like curtains, in an empty room can activate an infrared motion sensor, causing a false alarm. Read on to find out why.
How far out can a Honeywell motion detect movement?
Find out what the range is for your Honeywell motion detector.
Should I use glass break detectors or motion sensors?
Glass break detectors and motion sensors provide two different types of protection, we explain the differences so that you can choose the right device for your alarm installation.
Can I adjust sensitivity on Honeywell motion sensors?
Adjusting the sensitivity of your Honeywell motion detector.
Does arm stay mode disable motion detectors?
If your system is armed in stay mode, will your motion detectors set off your alarm?
A 360° motion sensor will have a larger area the higher it is mounted. But mounting it too high will prevent it from detecting the motion below. Learn about 360° Motion Sensors.
