Using a drill equipped with a hole saw or appropriate drill bit, carefully drill holes at strategic locations on the staircase wall or steps where motion sensors will be installed. Typically, these are placed at the top and bottom of the staircase, and potentially at landings, to ensure full coverage for motion detection. Once drilled, insert the motion sensor heads into these holes, ensuring they are flush or slightly protruding for optimal detection.
