Re: Will pet friendly motion detector work with my dog?

["Crash Gordon" <webmaster@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Most pet pirs need to be mounted at manu. recommended ht (usually 7.5-8'),
some you have to becareful about how close underneath the pir the dog can
get no matter what size...so consider furniture placement as well. Watch
windows too...not that a pir can see through a window, but I like to put
pirs facing into the house rather than at, lets say a west window.

You may want to mix some glassbreak detectors in there as well.

Shielded wire? Why?

Masking pirs is tricky...put them in the right places to start with and you
most likely will not have to mask.

Yes there are pet pirs you can mount at 4 feet, like the Visionics mr-4000
flush mount with a #5 lens...believe it or not this pir is still around
after 20 years.

| Hi:
|
| I am pre-wiring my new house under construction.  I have a 76lbs greyhound
| that will be moving in with my wife and myself.  I am preparing to run the
| 4/22 shielded wire for the 8 motion detectors.  Each bedroom will have one
| motion detector.  My Living room / Dinning room / Kitchen (open floor
plan)
| will have 2 detectors with a ceiling that starts at 8 feet and goes up to
10
| feet.  Every detector's corner has an 8 foot ceilings.  The alarm system
has
| yet to be determined, but all the sensors will be hard wired.
|
| Will my dog likely set off the pet friendly detectors if I mount them up
| high in the corners?  Or, do I have to mount them down low, 3-1/2 to 4
feet,
| to create a "pet ally"?
|
| Is there a particular model detector that would work well up high in the
| corners?
|
| Can I leave the detectors up high and put a mask in them to restrict their
| lower detection?
|
| What do you think?
|
| Thanks,
| John
