    Which Rooms Should Have Motion Sensors? A Room-by-Room Guide

    Placing motion sensors in the right locations is crucial to getting the most from your home alarm system. Too few sensors can leave blind spots that intruders can exploit, while too many can increase false alarms and installation costs unnecessarily. The key is strategic placement that covers the most likely entry points and movement paths through your home.

    The hallway is typically the most important location, as it connects entry points to the rest of the house, meaning any intruder will almost certainly pass through it. Living rooms and home offices are also high-priority areas, as they often contain valuable electronics and personal items. Kitchens and utility rooms that have external doors should also be covered, as these are common entry points that are often overlooked.
