Will the motion detectors pick up pet movements, therefore set off the alarm?

I do not have pets therefore it is difficult to give an accurate answer to your question. However the motion sensor is very sensitive to movement. I can imagine a large pet may easily trigger the sensor. I do not know how it would react to small pets near the floor.

From the information I gathered the motion detectors won't pick up anything under fifty pounds, but I haven't risked it. Another thing people recommend is angling the detectors such that they won't detect anything as short as a dog or cat. That doesn't really answer your question, but I hope it helps!

It will detect/trip on any movement in its field of range. You can adjusted so it will aim high enough not to to cover the floor.Better yet, you can just set the alarm in "HOME" setting , just like if you're home , then the motion detector becomes inactive, just your contact alarm.

I did multiple tests with my cats. The answer is no. The recommended height of the motion detectors are between 5'5" to 6'8". I put mine at 6ft, aimed it towards the ground. I made them walk through it (it was difficult, since cats don't really listen to you) , and they did not trigger the motion detector. Note that they are all under 20lbs.

I don't own this system - I would bet it has to turn off the motion sensors and only rely on the contact sensors. With only 5 contact sensors, you are rather limited on when perimeter defense you can set. I do like the RFID tag being capable of shutting it off.

Yes - there's a home setting as well as an away setting. Home is the window and door sensors. Away is for all devices - so motion detectors are active. Any detected movement would trip the alarm. I've had mine go off now twice - but not sure what set it off for sure either time. I may have to tweak their position slightly to avoid false alarms.

Not at all, if you have small animals, you place the motion sensors upside down. There are very simple, clear instructions on how to place the motion sensors when you have pets in the installation booklet

You can adjust the sensitivity of the motion sensors, but I wouldn't recommend giving the pets access to areas where you are placing your motion sensors.

Yes. There is a test mode which when activated chimes when any alarm is triggered (window, door and motion detector).

Your question seems to be about the MOTION SENSOR, Raymond. The Motion Sensor, when installed in a location as suggested in the installation manual, will detect physical motion in the area selected to be monitored. No need to test before installing. After the motion detector is properly installed, with the monitor activated for a time when you will be away from or out of the house, any physical activity in the area of the motion detector will trigger the alarms.

Yes mine will pick up the occasional cat but typically the alarm will sound only once for animals/people, twice for cars.

If the dog is tall over 16 inch's yes it will set of light. Also depends on how low or high you set the head of the motion detector in feet from the house or where ever you have it mounted.

No - once you put the batteries in, the unit will light up whenever motion is detected.

Hi, I have a small Dog and the motion sensor normally turns on with she passes so I will assume it will detect your cats as well. Regards,

Yes, it can detect people. The product is a infrared sensor not a motion detector. Anything that gives off the heat signature it will detect. It could be a person or the exhaust of a vehicle or a deer. Anything that gives off heat that is different than the ambient air temperature will set off the alarm.

The short answer is yes, if you code the sensors properly. The system sensors (window/door/motion) used together can be coded for what the company calls the power zone setting. This setting is used for the Pet Immune feature.

according too simplisafe cats and dogs under 30lbs won't set off the motion detector. if they are above that all you do is reverse the device upside down.

Yes, they most definitely will. Unfortunately the motion sensors do not have a sensitivity adjustment. Perhaps you can make use of them by mounting them in any rooms where the pets aren't allowed, like the garage or a work-shed.

This alarm is really a motion sensor, if you have a dog at home, this alarm is activated by the movement of the pet, this alarm works great in areas like 20ftx20ft medium.

Yes. If it is in the range of the camera, it will set off the motion detection.
