Will stationary wire fencing/metal poles activate alarm?

Not I don't think so. WE have a wire fence but it has wood posts. It has never been a problem. We love the reliability of this item!! We did have to tweek the adjustments a little because we are close to a road, but after doing the adjustments it has worked great!

No--the principle is induction of the coil, which requires a ferrous target that moves proximate to the coil. Depending on the level of sensitivity you could have a car drive by very slowly and it will not alarm. I have mine about 30 ft from the road and fast moving school buses set it off; a slow one does not. Interestingly but not surprisingly, a close lightning strike will also set it off.

The fence will quit working if it is cut through. There is an alarm on the box that warns you when the loop is broken with a fairly obnoxious beep.

Yes and no: No, damaging the loop bar itself does not inherently set off the alarm (which is what I think you are asking), but keep in mind that it would be almost impossible to cut through the loop bar (and remove it) without moving the lock body enough to set off the alarm; it's pretty sensitive.

Yes. This is function is called Virtual Leash. Alarm can be sounded when either the leash is broken or connected.

The circuit loop (wire) must be intact from the base unit all the way around the yard and back to the unit. In other words, if there is a break in the wire the system will not work. As mentioned in other answers, if there is a break in the system, an alarm will go off on the base unit alerting you that there is a break.My suggestion is that you buy thicker wire then what is included with the system. This is what I did. Admittedly, it cost me quite a bit more but I have less of a concern that the wire will break. I bought, '500 Foot Spool ProGrade XHD14 gauge AWG PE Dog Fence Wire'. Like i said, it was expensive but to me it was worth it. Hope this helps:) The circuit loop (wire) must be intact from the base unit all the way around the yard and back to the unit.

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, that's true, I just tried it. The thief will activate it at least momentarily before turning off the unit. I don't think think this unit was intended only as a bike alarm but rather a general motion sensor alarm because there is a single keyhole on the back of the unit for wall mounting. Hope this helps.

No, you need to use a two wire cable of the length needed to attach to your alarm system.

No, it will only set up an alarm in the control box or a bell wired to the box. It's a basic no frills alarm. I have mine about 175 or so ft from my house. Put it in a Electrical Junction box with a 2" pipe it focus's through to reduce the area size it will pick up to about a 1' diameter area 32" off of the ground. It only covers my driveway and walk-thru gates without picking up any dogs, etc.

Yes it will work fine as I have one on mine.As long as you buy the base unit for letting you know somebody has entered or left the alarm part of it

I'm really not qualified to answer that. Perhaps contact the manufacturer of the alarm to get their take on your idea.

if you are doing everything right there should be no alarm. i did find mine going off if the probes were not fully pudshed in at the meter end. hope this helps. the proper funtion for where vyou have the probes plugged in need to be the right selection .. like slelecting amps while pugged in to volts or visa versa ,will cause an alarm .

No, "alarming" is not a motion detector.It's the bell when someone press the doorbell. thanks.

I don't think the cattle guard will be a problem. I have a welded pipe and sucker rod entrance with metal gates. The sensor is about a foot from the bottom rod of the fence and it still works.

You would need to download an Alarm app to use it. The alarm function runs through the device.

I don't see why not. Once the device is lay down, right next to the edge and next to the door and you turn on the switch, the moment that any part of the door touches the metal slider........the alarm goes off! And it's not a toy, the sound is loud. I hope this helps.

None that I know of other than going with a wireless invisible fence system. They do not require the boundary wire. Let me know if you need one. Good luck
