Create a visual map of your monitored area by drawing your floor plan and placing sensor markers. This helps you quickly identify where activity is detected.

About Your Floor Plan
~2 min
The floor plan feature helps you visualize rodent activity in your space. When motion is detected, you will see it highlighted on your map.
Your floor plan will show:
• The layout of your monitored area
• The location of each sensor (A-H)
• Add a feature or two so that when you return, the orientation of the floorplan is apparent.
Don't worry about creating a perfect architectural drawing - a simple representation of your space works great!

Tip: You can always edit your floor plan later if you move sensors or want to add more detail.
It may be easier to sketch the diagram at the customer site, and enter it later on a computer.

Placing Sensor Markers
~3 min
Now add your sensors to the floor plan:
1. Find the sensor markers panel (labeled A through H)
2. Drag each sensor marker to its physical location on your drawing
3. Click a placed sensor to add a location description (e.g., "Behind Refrigerator")
4. Rotate sensors if needed to show detection direction
Make sure each sensor marker matches where you physically placed that sensor. This ensures motion alerts show up in the correct location on your map.

Tip: Use the location descriptions to remind yourself where each sensor is - "Sensor B - Garage Door" is more helpful than just "B".
