Abstract
An adjustable security sensor device is described. The device comprises a time of flight sensor, a user input element, and a processor. The time of flight sensor generates a first set of sample distance measurements based on a first position of the time of flight sensor relative to the reflector, in response to receiving the identification of the first position of the device relative to the reflector. The processor associates the identification of the first position with the first set of sample distance measurements. A second set of sample distance measurements is measured based on a second position of the time of flight sensor relative to the reflector. The processor compares a first range of the first set of sample distance measurements with a second range of the second set of sample distance measurements, and identifies a position of the device relative to the reflector based on the comparison.
