will the motion detectors be set off by small animals i.e. cats or dogs

Yes. Mice caused several false alarms with our system. We solved that problem with mouse traps. PiSector sells special motion detectors that are reportedly insensitive to small animals.

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

Motion sensors are not too sensitive, specially in the case of small pets. Try factory setting first, it should work fine.

Probably... but that isn't a bad thing since if it were a real dog your cat would probably set him/her off too. Ours is situated in an area and when we pass it barks, but I don'[t mind since a real dog might too. If you put it where your animal doesn't go then it should not be an issue..there is a limit to the range. Also I saw where someone put a metal plate behind it so it would not pick up movement inside their house. That's an option.

No cats in my installation but based on how sensitive it seems to be I would think it would pick them up if it was very close or directly over the liter box and their approach path does not have any obstructions that would block the sensor. Hope this helps.

The motion sensor will not set the alarm off it the pets are under 30 lbs. That is in the setup instructions. I have 2 schnauzers that are 25 lbs each and they have not set off the alarm as of yet.

Hello,The motion detectors are for indoor use only. If you put them outside, you will be prone to false alarms.The difference between the Pet Immune motion detectors and the regular motion detectors, is the Pet Immune Motions will not pick up on animals 50lbs or less. And the regular motion detectors will pick up on everything. Thanks!www.FortressSecurityStore.com

If the cats move in front of the sensor, at the height where is installed, they might activate the lights. otherwise, if they just walk on the floor passing by the room, the switch will not be activated.My dog comes and goes from our laundry area without activating and turning the lights on.

I haven't found one - aside from this, the two other products that I've found that are similar are the "Tattle Tale" which is triggered by vibrations, and the "Ssscat" which is also a motion detector. I've tried all three and the Ssscat is the only one that works with my cats.

They are not pet immune. You'd just have to angle them high enough so they don't detect pets. Or maybe cover the bottom part of the lens. The window sensors only detect someone sliding a window up. It's a transmitter/magnet. You put the transmitter on half of the window, say bottom half, and the magnet on the top half. When someone slides the window open it separates them and it goes off.

Yes, but keep aware of where you place the detector. It works fine except with furniture taller then your waist and somewhat close to the detector, that the cat can jump onto it. We placed our detector near a stairwell within 6 feet of a half wall and when the cat jumped up, it triggered it. We moved it a few more feet away from the half wall and it worked fine.

Yes they will. Being it is wireless the only animal that will be affected is the one wearing the collar.

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.

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.

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.

Yes. The motion sensors can be paired with a door or window in a room. They won't sound the alarm unless both the door or window and the motion sensor is triggered. Pets & people can move through the motion sensor's view without triggering the alarm until the door or window is opened. Then both are triggered and alarm sounds.
