do you have to mount this detector on a wall? Or can it be placed on a counter, floor, etc

This is a carbon monoxide alarm, therefore you need to mount it on a wall, just like it says in the mounting direction.

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!

I think higher would be better. It only takes 2 small holes to mount it, and they could be filled later with spackle if necessary. The unit is not heavy and would not have to be at the very top of the wall, just up near the ceiling,( but where you could reach it to replace the battery when needed ).

Yes, you need to mount it to a wall. It comes with hardware to do it. Very easy to do.

The unit has a build-in stand so it can be 'relocate' at will. We did not get a wall mount. We really like the unit - good color and easy to set up.

It is not designed to be wall mounted. Depending on how much effort you wanted to put into it, it could be sit on a small wall mounted shelf, if you want to put that much effort into it.

I mounted on the ceiling. If you have the electrical wiring and box I can't see why you could not mount it to the wall. I really like it. Is mounted in the kitchen area with the lights aimed at the counter tops. Looks great.

One site I looked at, investigating whether to put up combination CO/Photoelectric or separate units, suggested that ceiling mounting can be defeated by a buildup of (presumably warm/hot) air, preventing a CO detector from timely detection of CO. The author suggested wall mount at least 2-ft below the ceiling, or even at eye level, of the CO detector, as it would monitor any CO-laden air passing it on its way up. I plan to have ceiling-mounted smoke detectors (ionization and photoelectric) on each floor with wall-mounted CO detectors appropriately nearby.

Since it runs on battery, you can place it anywhere. I put mine on the the hallway wall so all bedrooms can hear the alert. Using double side tape to affix it to the wall.

You could mount it in a wall. You would just have to cut a hole in your wall and possibly brace up the studs depending on which size you get. It is a front & back plate that screw together onto each side of the door/wall. The only problem that I have with this unit is that the 4 D-Cell batteries have to be replaced about every month give or take a week.

No, no wall-mount option / counter or desktop only. You could use Velcro or double backed tape - it's very light. There are others that have a place for a screw to wall-mount.

I have had mine since February and I never mounted mine to the wall. I haven't had any problems with it at all. So in my case it never needed to be mounted. I really think as long as it's on a level floor it will be fine. I hope this helps you.

I did not wall mount this monitor; however, if I were going to wall mount this unit and didn't have a shelf to place it on, I would build a small sconce and mount it on a stud in the wall. I would be sure the unit was secured to the sconce with a least two screws through the base of the unit.

I asked myself the same question until I realized that this product has no motion detector feature. This is fake. They only put a sticker on the box for the advertising. Let me know if you can do it otherwise let the product have a bad review.

There are two models. One has a motion detector, the other doesn't. You should not try to install a motion detector on any unit unless it is designed for it. You are better buying a unit that is a motion detection unit. Most motion units has a setting to function as day/night.That being said, I'm pleased with this unit as a dusk/dawn. I installed it on the house corner over the driveway to cover the front door, drive and garage.

I dont think it was meant to be mounted on a wall but if there is a will there is a way. You could drill a small hole on its sides very slowly and use a screw on each side to hold it up next to ur wall. Good luck.

Yes. You attach the mount that came with your detector, minus the suction cups onto the Mirror Mount. The detector can be remove from the mount by pressing the release button on the detector and sliding it off just as you would now.

Pretty sure it has to be wall mounted, though I don't see why it can't be on a counter, as long as your careful with it, but wall mounting is more secure. The toothpaste holder is removable, and it is part of the kit.

The Base unit only can be wall mounted, however I think you would be much better off using without the wall monunt.
