Will my cat and dog set off the motion sensors?

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.

It will not, it is made of material, lined on the inside for kitty comfort. There is only one metal ring at the top which is used for the leash. It shouldn't set off any alarms especially if you point it out before scanning.

Good evening, I have a Golden retriever and they work well with her. I have my motion sensors approximately 6 1/2 feet on each corner. I believe they are good for up to 80lbs. I've had my sensors for 6 months and they work as well as my ADT installed sensors. For added security buy the door sensors, if the motions happen to go off and the door sensors don't then it's the dogs. Just for the peace of mind. I hope this answers your question.

I am not able to answer that question regarding a pet. We placed our sensor above a door. The sensor still pick of movement from the door. So, I would assume, that a large pet might also activate the sensor.

My motion sensor is set about 6 feet from the floor and I have two cats. One is a Norwegian Forest Cat weighing 20 lbs and comes up to my knees. My other cat is a Ragdoll and neither have set off the motion sensor yet.

You would need to place the receiver outside the path of the animal. There is no sensitivity setting. I place all of my alarms 24" to 30" above the floor, in a place the animals can not access. Hope this helps.

According to GE yes the motion sensor is pet friends up to a certain size pet (it might trigger if large or larger size dog walks into room).

I have 4 of them around my house and no bugs or small animals have ever set them off before. It does sense my dog if she walks in front of it though.

Yes. If you turn the light off manually it will not immediately respond to motion to turn it back on, but after a minute or so it will resume the motion sensor function.

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, but it's buried in the 8 pages of instructions with very tiny print, and to get to the point where you disable the motion sensor, you have to go through a long sequence of setting other options. I did it once, but after a power outage reset the unit and the motion sensor defaulted back to ON, I disconnected the unit and put it in a drawer. I don't anticipate using it again.

yes small animals' especially dogs will set of the motion sensors and so will high wind.

your dog or cat will stay off when the alarm sounds. It is loud and piercing. it is a learned behavior. my dog stayed off the couches and I moved one around after about 2 weeks on each one he stayed off of them

I don't know for sure, but vibrations and movement can set it off. All it took was is a couple of times getting sprayed and hearing the alarm to train my cats.

I have my set at our side fence entrance, where our dogs like to welcome "Dad" home after work. Yes, the dogs running up to the fence have set off the sensors. These are big shepherds, too.

No. The motion detector is super sensitive to any movement. If you were going to go out without your pet, you would have to turn the motion detector off. Otherwise, your pet would set off the alarm. GL

The unit is quite responsive to movement near it. You may need to do an experiment with your cats to find out for sure, by using the chime function on the unit.
