running wires to the headend

[v1rtu0s1ty]

Just want to share again my almost final drawing. I still missed 2 devices. strobe and camera.

I remember that for camera, I need a COAX and an 18/4 run, right? Is it proper to put a camera in my front porch and near my backyard door?

Depends on the camera. Some use Cat5. For camera placement check your local regulations and possibly your homeowners association, if any, for camera placement.

Ok guys, I'm reading page 10 of M1_Installation&Programming_Manual.pdf

Auxiliary Power Connections (+VAUX)
Motion detectors, glass breaks, etc. and other devices requiring unswitched 24-hour power should be connected to one of the
auxiliary terminals, +VAUX. All negative terminals on the terminal strip are at the same reference and may be used whenever
a common (circuit ground) negative is required. Use caution when wiring the control to distribute the load devices among the
supply and the negative terminals evenly. NOTE: Circuit ground refers to any negative terminal connection on this control.
This does not refer to the earth ground terminal or to the common terminals of Relay Output 3. These terminals are not at
the same voltage potential and should not be wired so that they are electrically connected to a negative.

If you recall on my diagram, I have M1XIN in every floor. Do I also need to separate the 2 conductors from 22/4 then connect to VAUX for my motion sensor similar to what I did for smoke sensor but connected to SAUX? Or should I just connect all the 4 conductors from motion sensor directly to the M1XIN board zones? The motion detector is the Bosch blue line motion detector.
