    This motion sensor watches the back door and I want to put a book self there and move sensor to opposite wall. I looked at sensor but cannot open it - no screws on it... It is wireless but firmly attached to the wall and don't see any obvious way to remove from wall.


    Do I need to call out PhoneWatch to do this ? what cost ?

    If I attempt to do myself - I prob get a call from phonewatch but I know the password so I can give them the password and say all okay ??

    Any know how I open the sensor & steps to remove ? Thanks

    If I were you I would get them to move it, the unit is their property.

    Isn't this covered in that large fee you pay them every month.
    I know we'd cover this for a fee paying customer with monitoring & maintenance.

    You'll need to check who owns the system. How old is it? Check your contract and cold call PW and ask them, save you the hassle of it.

    What brand / model is it? Some systems when opened set a tamper which means that an engineer/ARC may need to reset this.

    It's a PIR camera, there is no need to check who owns the system, it's belonging to PW
