Nanit Pro with a small crib?

Hey all. Looking at purchasing a Nanit Pro but will be using it (initially) with a smaller crib next to the bed. As a result, the Nanit Pro floor stand can't be positioned on the long side of the crib since the bed is there, and will be placed on the short side of the crib.

Looking at the spec and details, it suggests that it has to be placed on the long side and won't work well if its on the short side as the orientation will be out and you get false alerts?
