Preferred Locations of your Hub
Table of Contents
The Hub serves as the brain of your security system. All other equipment, including sensors, panels, and cameras, relay information to this Hub wirelessly. The Hub, in turn, communicates with the monitoring team.
Recommended Installation Locations
- Your Hub can be connected directly to your Wi-Fi router, or it can simply be placed in a central area of your home. The tall, thin design of the Hub mimics the design of other network devices in order to prevent intruders from identifying the Hub as a security device.
- Near your router (it should be placed far enough away from the router to prevent signal interference)
- In a central, permanent location, such a bookshelf, where the hub is unlikely to be jostled or removed
- Attached to a wall that isn’t easily accessible for children or potential intruders
Locations to Avoid
- When choosing where to place your panel, it is important to avoid a few places:
- Locations where the siren would be difficult to hear
- Near a window where an intruder might see it
- Within four feet of large metal appliances such as refrigerators, televisions and washing machines
