If it's a smoke detector or a combo CO/SMOKE it has to be installed on the ceiling. A CO detector can be mounted anywhere at any height as the CO is about the same weight as air.
I'm not sure about the fire codes for placement in your town (10 ft. within any bedroom, 1 on every floor, photoelectric or ionization, etc.)
