Is the HC-SR501 Human Sensor Module immune to pets?

No beacuse if they are entering the range of the beams then they will set if off.

I am not sure that would work. I think this device uses temperature changes to detect movement. For example, I have this right next to my front door. If I open the door (and it opens into the sensor) nothing happens, as soon as my body is clear from the door then the device detects something. Perhaps something using the contact closure module will be more effective.

I think the sensor is pointing up and out- it's a little hard to tell because mine doesn't always activate the first pass I make. I would think a dog could definitely activate it especially if the dog was interested in the smells.

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.

Hello William, These Pet Immune Motion Sensors use a 9V battery. Thanks! www.FortressSecurityStore.com

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.

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.

Good morning, I believe it will repel racoons, the reason I say this I have a Boykin Spaniel and he will activate the sensor. But he has to be fairly close to the sensor 15ft. My issue is deer.

I wouldnt be sure about that. All my three movment sensors are in the same floor the only way to know would be trying. Sensors are infra-red so no objects as wins moved courtains trigger the alarm. A living animal like your pet will butvyou can desable areas where they move. I have two alarms conected to the main unit (wireless) and believe me the noise would frighten any intruder.

I would not expect a problem since the sensor detects magnetic variances, I would ensure that there is at least 10 feet between the sensor and the cattle guard and ensure that the transmitter is positioned so the guard is not in between it and your receiver.

Not sure what you mean by "Person Detector". There are passive IR motion detectors with selectable sensitivity. They should allow you to filter out small animals, etc.

Wish I could help as I am all about these detectors, but I would reach out to the manufacturer via their website for that information. Sorry.

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

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.

only supposed to detect 50lbs or more. you can position the motion detectors to make it pet friendly. we have just 1 panic button upstairs. your keychains also have a panic button. we have three of the keychain fab things. i have no idea of the range.

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.
