#1 They each cover a lot of space. A movement of twenty miles one way or another wouldn't make much difference. So a movement of twenty miles one way or another needn't be considered an iron-clad tell.
And if you had a couple of them, you have to put them someplace and with their coverage, it hardly matters as long as they're both not in the exact center of the area to be defended. I'd wait for some leaked email or something as to what is expected, as opposed to the deployment suggested on the box.
