Why did they cut out the portion around the IR sensor and not just drill holes?

That would be a question for the manufacturer. But in my opinion too many holes in glass that close together would be very fragile. If your worried about the naked part of your screen I would look at a otter box defender case or similar. I currently have one installed and removed the plastic screen protector , works great with the tempered glass screen protector.

They covered the front facing camera, but you are right the two other sensors are not covered. I can only imagine it would be extremely hard to center all the holes together when initially installing the glass. The glass edge may also affect the sensors some how if they were covered.

Not sure what drill holes you are referring to. There is a smooth cutout at the top for the ear speaker and ir sensors. It is smooth and clear everywhere else. Hope this helps.

It was probably just easier. But the protected glass is light in color so the measuring of the light signal probably wouldn't make a difference either. Or the signal is just stronger without that extra piece of glass covering it.

The sensor assembly is not repairable only because the internal components can't be obtained. But the sensor as a complete assembly can be used as a direct replacement for a failed sensor assembly. Just shut off power to the entire unit, disconnect the wiring inside the dual lampholder that is connceted to the sensor assembly, unscrew the sensor assemblyand remove it then install the replacement sensor using a reverse of the removal procedure.

It is an inexpensive sensor ... doubtful they make it in a way to be taken apart.

what I did was carefully cut out the piece of the grill that would normally go in between the two lighTs. if you cut it straight you will never notice that it was modified

It is out of around because of the way that they glued the LED into the connector. It's definitely a quality control issue

Sorry dont no about that,cause we just drilled holes and put it in a different place than our smoke alarm.we never owned one of these before..sorry couldn't help

The system is armed, not specific sensors. What you could do is remove specific sensors from the sensor & add it back later, but takes a bit of effort.

The model I bought had pre-drilled holes, though not great ones. I remember them being hard to get to. I will look at it later today or tomorrow and try to send a better answer if others have not already addressed this question.

Not sure what you mean by "pulled the sensor out with it". I have had the lens viewer pop off the base attachment around the rear LCD, but rarely popped the base attachment off the rear LCD.

The Ir sensor is in the bottom left corner there is a firmware update that is coming out that will make the remote Wifi so we wont have that problem anymore

If you want a narrower field of detection, there are little plastic shields included. A section of 5 or so, they are perforated so you can just snap off the number of pieces or thickness you want & insert it in the detector to block off part of the motion detector. I never would have known, but I had mine professionally installed and the electrician showed me this feature.

You do have to take the unit down as the hard wiring comes from behind the main unit. It isn't hard though. The hardest part is the unit dangling while you switch the wires out. If you can have someone hold the unit while you switch the wires it is easy. TURN POWER OFF, remove the unit, remove the wire nuts, undo the old sensor, connect the new sensor (reuse the wire nuts), and install whole unit back to house. It is cheaper to replace the sensor and not the hole unit.

The IR light gives away the cameras position. Try Wildgame blackout. Small and no lights to give away it's position

The slot is a hair over 2.5" edging into 5/8ths territory. There is extra space for the head of the sensor, you could perhaps fold the wire over the side for the install. If you are removing just cut the wire.

The hole is elongated and extends a bit down and to the right providing access for I presume, the light sensor, so the answer is yes.

That is weird. In the pictures it shows the IR window is covered. It is below the volume button on the right side. Are you sure it is not covered?

Cut off or cut out?? All u get is the light no thing else you have to customize or mount in an existing hole
