In Far Cry 4, how do I spot alarm boxes in hostile outposts? - Sad African American female with tissue sitting on windowsill and crying while suffering from sorrow

So yesterday I played some more FC4 and tried to capture an outpost without being spotted. I almost succeeded but there was one enemy I didn't spot, who saw me and called reinforcements. I retried it after I took over the camp forcefully.

On retrying the same outpost a few times I finally spotted what the alarm boxes look like and took it out from a distance. (though the sound of the explosion of the alarm box warned the guards).

I see in the legend of the world map there is an icon for those alarm boxes. I have never seen that icon on the map yet, even when fully zoomed in. When hovering over the outpost icon on the map, it says how many alarms there are. How do I spot these alarm boxes?

I haven't played for a while now, but IIRC look for the poles with the loudspeakers; they each should have a yellowish light on top to mark them. That pole either has the box or a wire that you can follow back to the box that sets off that alarm.

As for placement, I've seen them on the edges and near the middle so there doesn't seem to be a pattern. And as the guards walk around randomly, some will be guarded and some not at different times. Use a takedown on any guards near the boxes and interact with the box to silently disable it.
