Frequently Asked Questions
The TILT1e-345 uses an internal accelerometer to detect the angle change when your garage door moves, rather than relying on magnetic alignment. This makes it much more reliable since garage doors can flex and vibrate, which often causes magnetic sensors to lose alignment and create false alarms.
Our Smart Shield Systems technicians typically install the TILT1e-345 on the top section of your garage door, positioned so it can accurately detect the door's tilt angle changes. The exact placement depends on your door type and construction, which our experts evaluate during installation.
Yes, when integrated with your 2GIG security system, you can set up custom notifications to alert you via smartphone app, text, or email if your garage door remains open for a specified period. You can also receive instant alerts whenever the door is opened or closed.
