Motion Detectors

What do ADT motion detectors look like and where are they usually
installed? I live in a 3-family house, and the first floor tenants have
an ADT alarm system. Whenever I leave or enter the hallway, there is a
beep or chirp sound coming from inside of their apartment. I suspect
that it's a motion detector. What annoys me about this is, whenever
this sounds goes off, they open the door to see who it is coming or
leaving the house. It's driving me nuts. I feel like I am in a prison
of some kind.

I looked all over the hallway, but I can't find any kind of motion
detector. Is it possible that the motion detector could be installed
inside of their apartment and still detect motion from in the hallway?
All of the motion detectors I have seen are usually white bulky boxes,
but I don't see anything like that in the hall...

Thanks

They look like the most cheaply made toys available, and are usually
installed looking directly at West-facing sliding glass doors, heat
registers, or stairways (if pets are present.)

there are motions that are very small and mounted flush in a wall or ceiling.

the chirp is annoying you from *inside* their apartment?

not sure why they would have a motion connected to their system out in a common hallway though.

Here's my guess ...

the motion isn't chirping.
when you open the door, the keypad chirps.
it's called watch mode.
lets you know when a perimerter point is being triped while the system
is
disarmed.
different panels engage or disengage it differently.

I guess if your home alone on one side of the house, you'd like to know
when
someone, say opens a door or a window.
