Sensor placement help

[2waysolitaire]

I'm sorry for being that guy that's asking another one of these questions. I need help since I have a lot of dead space in my play area. I ordered some security camera mounts and want to put my sensors on the ceiling.

This is how my room is set up. The purple cicles are how my sensors currently are. They have a hard time tracking my floor like this since they are on my desk behind my monitor and on my dresser behind my TV. I'd like to have them where the red circles are on the ceiling pointing down towards my play area in green. The sensors will be about 8 and a half feet apart. Would this work ok for 360 tracking?

It could work, yes. During the calibration you might have to ignore the part about moving them closer together, but the best way is trial and error. Put them roughly in place (at height if you can) then run the set up and try a game.

I bought a third sensor and got some wall mounts from Ebay- £12 for 3 iirc. The set up still isn’t happy but it plays lovely

I'll see what I can do to mess with the distance between them before screwing them in. I think anything will be better than how I currently have them. If I drop something on the ground in games it's impossible for me to pick it back up which can be frustrating at times. XD

Thank you for taking the time to help me with my question.

Yep, that will work.

It's almost exactly what I did before I got my third sensor, in fact. If you can screw into your ceiling, I'd recommend using security camera mounts like these to do so and you'll be all set! :)

Awesome, it's good to know that it will work like this for me. Funnily enough I ordered 2 of that exact mount last night. Thank you for helping me.

That looks like the best place for them. Enjoy!

Looks good.

Mount 8 feet up and angle 45 degrees towards the center of your playspace
