ᐅ Motion Sensor for Outdoor Lighting

We are currently planning the placement of a motion sensor for our new build. The house is 11m (36 feet) wide and is located 3m (10 feet) from the street. Outdoor lights on both sides of the front door, which is centered on the house, should be activated by the motion sensor. The detection area should cover only the 3m by 11m (10 feet by 36 feet) space in front of the house, as I do not want the lights to turn on every time a car drives by. Where should the motion sensor be installed? Centered above the door on the exterior wall, or under the eaves? What type of motion sensor would be suitable?
