Is the motion sensor pet immune?

The motion sensor is pretty sensitive. I have two dogs so I put it up on the counter to avoid them setting it off too much.

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.

This system specifically, I am not sure. I used to install systems for an ADT dealer. We used masking techniques to stop false alarms. Basically white electrical tape placed inside the lens of the motion detectors in areas that a cat or dog would be blocks false alarms. You have to take time taping and checking repeatedly so you know what areas actually trigger alarms. Block off stairs and the lower region to about knee height so animals on the ground won't trigger alarms. The location of the motion detectors matters as well. These motion detectors in this kit do not have processors for animals. That type of sensor is much larger having two actual sensors. The system will arm without the motion detectors.

Yes a motion sensor is just another form of a switch the light doesn't know what's telling it to come on and doesn't care. Good to go.

I have never used the motion detect, but honestly there are probably better units then this one since I didnt get the EXACT same unit posted.

Yes, but it requires a system to work, it does not work by itself. Here is a discount link http://fbuy.me/_1nu. Additionally this the first version of the motion sensor, the newer systems have a different sensor that only runs on batteries, this can run on batteries or be powered via a USB plug.

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.

The sensors are built into the unit. Likely it does not hurt you dog, just surprises and annoys. Kind of like my dog barking when I am trying to sleep.

My dogs trigger the sensor when they walk by the bathroom in the hallway. I have the unit set to run for at least 30 seconds when it senses motion. It turns on when anyone walks past the bathroom.

No pets should be affected at all. My cat pays no attention to the device at all. Friends of mine with dogs say the same. These devices have no affects on the animals at all. Hope this answers your question and helps you.

Motion sensor functionality is usually a feature of the dvr you use, not the camera. That said, my DVR has motion sensing and the feature works fine with this camera.

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.

Not without modifying it heavily. It has a motion sensor that keeps it on low until movement is detected.

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.

Hello Mark, Yes, the pet weight limit on these Pet Immune Motion sensors is 50lbs and less will not be detected. 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.

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.

It uses a passive infrared sensor. It doesn't detect motion per se, it detects heat or rather a rapid change in heat signature. It will detect people, animals, headlights, car exhaust, etc.
