Difference between 360 and wall mount

[Saint106]

Hello, I am curious that whether 360 and wall mount(assume they have same properties ie. quad/DT) have a huge difference on their performance? It seems like most of the installations are using wall mount , do 360s have their specific application?

 

Any ideas will be appreciated

Touched on that in this thread recently.

360's are generally used where wall mounting is unsuitable.

Range is the biggest downfall of a 360 they dont see as far as a wall mounted detector. They are really only meant for applications where there are a lot of obstructions like a gangway in a warehouse, or arcades where there are lots of arcade machines that obstruct the view of a normal detector. Plus the PIR detects much better when you walk across its field of view, which is why most detectors are placed in corners rather than the middle of a room. Give me a decent Optex quad any day

Yes range is lame , some put them in for decor , and then bang on about it has to be top security and all that nonsense , I can get passed there 360 tho
