We bought a new house but haven’t moved in yet. The previous owners moved out months ago. What is this thing in the corner of the living room? They may have had a security system by ADT in the past. They have a Ring doorbell. I don’t plan to sign a contract with ADT. Any ideas? Should I try to uninstall it or cover it in the meantime?

    I know this is an older post, but I thought I’d chime in with my thoughts.

    This looks like an IR motion detector. What it looks like to me, at least. It looks like something that would sense the rebound of ir light as it passes from one area of the room to the next… It could be part of a security system, that I’m not positive about - we’ve never had an ADT system, but we do use the motion of sensors for home security as well as automation.
