Will motion alarm with curtains moving

Question

Will the motion alarm be triggered by curtains  moving due to heating vent blowing air? I need to use motion detector for windows because sensors are not compatible with casement windows.

Great question @villagesecurity! The curtains moving and the heat vent is a combination that could certainly trigger the Motion Detector, as this is both movement and heat signatures.

I hope this helps! :)
