The Instructions on Installing the GE Security RCR-REX

Once your GE Home Security System is in place, install motion sensors for added protection. The RCR-REX motion sensor is designed to detect the slightest movements in your home. The hardest part of the installation is determining where to install the sensors. Since doors and windows on the lower level of your home have a greater break-in rate, it is wise to position your sensor so that it detects motion at these entry points.
