Before you choose

What Should You Check Before Buying?

Use these presence sensors requirements to narrow your shortlist, then verify each requirement for the exact model.

  1. Check the sensing method and its stated detection limits.
  2. Verify configurable zones and exclusion areas.
  3. Compare mounting requirements and continuous-power needs.
  4. Test how the sensor handles still occupants and movement outside the room.
