Does this mount to the ceiling like a smoke detector or could be put high on a shelf?

It doesn't mount like a smoke detector. I guess you can put it onto a shelf or wherever you want. I did not have any luck with it at all. They literally were crawling on it. Good luck

It does not work mounted to the ceiling. In fact it would be dangerous and is only intended for use with the stand.

It's not a shelf, but rather, a bookcase. So it doesn't mount on the wall; it sits on the floor. If you wanted to secure it to the wall for toddler safety purposes, you'd have to buy one of those 'baby proofing' type wall brackets separately.

I believe it is best to mount on wall and high to make sure dangerous air isn't hugging ceiling. You know, how smoke is high and they tell you to crawl down low where air isn't so bad. I have mine installed in bedroom by door because if you sleeping you need to know something is wrong. Be safe!

Two screws that are mounted. The back of the sensor has key-hole shaped slots that you align with the screw heads and twist a couple of degrees to secure. I used the screw mounts into the ceiling, but the unit is light enough that it's possible it may hold on a wall with some of the stronger command strip style pads. I never tried I though and wouldn't expect it to work for a ceiling mount.

I am an old time Alarm Guy - We have been installing CO detectors for over ten years. My understanding - CO is slightly heavier than air - But CO is generally caused by Heat Producing machines - Initially CO would pick up buoyancy of heat source which would support a ceiling mount. After CO cools, it will fall. NFPA 720 is using Smoke Detector placements andcoverages. My Opinion - The Best Location is a pillow height in bedrooms, That is where you would spend the most dangerous times if exposed to CO. My current unit is located on ceiling but I will place my new unit about 6ft of floor.I have been told that most "Smoke Inhalation injuries and deaths" are actually CO poisoning.

Sorry for the delay as I have been traveling. I don't really think this would work effectively on smoke detectors, I dont think the correct end for the pole is in here.

Mine sits on a shelf, it works fine. It is easy to move. There are four mounting holes on the bottom that can be used to hold it in place. It is recommended that it be mounted on the floor for extra security. Mounting bolts are included.

It's mounted 7'-10' high to be detected maximum distance up to 60'-70' (@75F or less). if just detects 10'-20' away that have to adjust sensitivity knob via clockwise to increase its sensing range.

It has to be mounted up at ceiling level. My husband used chains to attach it to the ceiling, and "walked" it up the chains to get it to the proper height. It is in the center of the work space, and it works really well.

I have mine mounted to a finished ceiling. When installing you will just need a stud finder to make sure you line up the bracket with a ceiling joist.

It is like a smoke alarm. I just replaced an existing one, so did not have to decide on location.

Even though it's a small travel detector, it is designed so that it can be hung on the wall. The front face snaps free and pivots from the back, similar to a standard wall-mounted smoke detector. The 9V battery is inside.

No. It's for wall mounting. If you somehow mounted on a ceiling you wouldn't be able to use the shelf.

Depends...if you dont plan on using fire place, i would check temperatures above fireplace when lit, check with safety codes for placement of items above fire place and would check to make sure there are studs located abovefire place for mounting.

The pamphlet inside the package recommends putting the detector in certain areas of the house that may become susceptible early-on such as stairs, near kitchen, etc. The height on wall is not specified. I have mine plugged in close to the floor. I am assuming it is calibrated to pickup on low CO levels before it becomes dangerous. You might have to call in and talk to their customer service people about the specifics.

Looks like a regular surveillance camera and can fool anyone who sees it. It hangs about 6 inches from ceiling and about the size of a soft ball, if that helps.
