Will a medium-sized dog trip the motion sensors or can I arm the alarm with the dog inside?

Hello,These are pet immune motion sensors, and a medium sized dog will be fine. 30-40lbs. Thanks.

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.

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.

The alarm is rather loud so it should wake up a sleepwalker if he/she gets out of bed as long as the monitor is nearby or next to the sleepwalker. It won't go off if you turn over. It should be positioned under the upper-mid part of your back so that the most weight is on it. It will go off if you lift off of the pad but turning over doesn't seem to be an issue. Not sure about your dog but if the pad is mostly under your back, your dog shouldn't set it off.

Yes. I have the SC001 keypad in the house and the AA433 in detached garage with sensor. If someone can even get the door up an inch, both alarms inside and out go off. Works great by me.

There are some z-wave motion sensors out there that have a setting for pets. monoprice has one, cheap too 30 bucks. Below is from there web site. The sensitivity IS adjustable. The sensor comes with a little black jumper, when you open the sensor you can leave it off or set it to Test, Pet2, and Pet1. You can decrease the sensitivity of the motion sensor so that small pets(PET1) and large pets(PET2) do not trigger the sensor.

Yes. Be sure the sensor contacts separate when the door opens. The alarm will work any time the sensors looses contact.

I don't see why not. You would stick one part on the door frame and the other part on the moving part of the door, and when the door is opened the alarm should sound. The alarm is triggered when the two pieces separate.

It is not super sensitive. It does require direct pressure to activate, so a small dog would have to step on it. I don't think just pawing at it will work. How about hanging a bell from the door knob? Hope that helps.

I would say yes. The sensor points up, but a tall dog could easily put its snout up to activate it. I have a golden retriever and it has never activated the sensor (yet). Worst case, you could remove the batteries and it becomes a manual lift.

It is a motion detection alarm. Motion does set it off. I have found if you set it away from the edge of a shelf, that it will not have a line of sight to the floor and does not set it off. Depending on where you display it, if your dog is large, or gets on furniture, will determine if the dog will set it off. If its not a motion sensored alarm you are looking for then this is not what you want. It is a fairly sensitive motion alarm.

Yes it is a motion sensor alarm. It is triggered in response to any motion. May be you want to put the dog outside while you are away or tie the dog in the house but let her move outside the coverage area.

Our German Shepherd trips the sensor every time she walks by the bathroom. I shouldn't have placed the fan so close to the bathroom door! :)

Yes, this is a motion sensor alarm. It will probably pick up motion from your dog, unless you set it high enough that it doesn't cover the area all the way to the floor.I don't have any pets, so I can't say for sure, but I believe it will sense the body heat and motion of your dog.Hope this helps you.

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.

No the motion sensor are not made for outdoor use & inside they only have about a 10ft radius in my house so you have to be strategic in placing them. I think I read that the Pet sencors are made so they will not detect the motion of anything under 30lbs. Hope this helps, I am pleased with my system & it was easy to hook up.

My *2* 8 lb dogs did not trigger the switch and they were left in darkness. I think it's because of what the previous poster, Mark O'Russa said about where the sensor is located.

it is a motion sensor, once you put your telephone numbers it will cal you and leave a message. the sound alarm can bve turned off. but if you have a pet it is not a good idea. get a IPcam to monitor home
