Are motion detectors pet friendly

Hi

Can you use motion detectors with pets, we have 3 cats and don’t really fancy getting an alarm system if they set it off all the time.

Many thanks

Hi @raiderz. Typically, the Motion Detectors are pet friendly. However, if you have mischievous cats like I do, they can cause false alarms from time to time. This happens most often when they are climbing on the furniture rather than staying on the ground.

Arm in home mode that way the cats wont set the alarm off. Ive installed door and window contacts so if broke into the outside siren will sound.

Hi @user52953. That’s a great option as well! By default, Motion Detectors will not be armed in Home Mode, but Contact Sensors will. :slight_smile:
