Hi all,
I've bought a Pyronix Enforcer V10 with 4 x PIR's and 1 x Contact. I will be putting the contact on the door of my detached garage (only access), and plan on putting all PIR's in the house.
I am after feedback on the best design for placement of the PIR's in my home. Pictures below, red dots are where I currently propose to put them.
My questions/thoughts:
1) Over time I plan to get an additional 2 x contacts for the front door and the rear patio door.
2) Over time I could get more PIR's for upstairs if recommended.
3) Are 3 PIR's downstairs an overkill?
4) I've read contradictory information that PIR's should not be pointed toward windows/patio doors as it could create false alarms when it detects someone outside, or window clear for example - do I need to worry about this?
I plan to program to have the ability to:
A) Full arm (garage, downstairs, upstairs) e.g. when no one is home
B) Part arm (garage, downstairs) e.g. when sleeping
C) Only garage armed. e.g. when I'm at home
Downstairs
Upstairs
Thanks in advance,
Jon.
