Recessed Door Sensor
Description
Our Recessed Door Sensors work similarly to our standard micro Door or Window Sensors, but can be installed inside the door frame to keep them hidden from view. They're a little more complicated to setup than our standard sensors and require a drill for installation.

- Slightly More Complicated Installation
- Good for Situations where it is Aesthetically Preferable to Keep the Sensor Out of Sight
- 1.7" long x .91" diameter
- Battery: 3.0V lithium battery

Where Should I Put It?
The Recessed Door Sensor should be installed in the frame, or casing, of a door or window. It's best, if possible, not to install the sensor in the moving part of a door. It's also best to install in the top (header) of the door frame.
How Many Do I Need?
Use a Recessed Door Sensor in any location where you wish to conceal the existence of a sensor for aesthetic reasons. There's no difference in the level or quality of security provided - this sensor is best used in cases where you don't like the "look" of our standard micro door or window sensors.
What Else Should I Know?
Unlike our other sensors, the installation of the Recessed Door Sensor is a little more complicated and does require tools, including an electric drill. If you're comfortable using a hand drill, the installation is straightforward - and we, of course, provide all the necessary instructions.
