That one vaulted ceiling sensor took me 5 hours to get right

I was installing a glass break detector in a 20-foot vaulted living room in Henderson last Tuesday and the ladder kept sliding on the hardwood floor. Turned out the ceiling angle was messing with the sensor's range so I had to trial-and-error mount it on three different beams before the alarm panel stopped giving false triggers. Has anyone else had to fight a tricky mounting surface that just ate up your whole day?

Man, I FEEL your pain try a magnetic mount next time it saves hours of aimless adjustments.

Skip the magnetic mount idea. Those things shift just enough to mess with sensitivity and you'll be back on that ladder in a week.
