Alarms with Dogs

ajfoggy · 03-18-2017, 04:23 PM

Since we got Dylan he has been in a crate at night or when we go out. Now he seems to have settled down we would like to get rid and let him have access to the back of the house.

The current alarm system has stand PIRs. So I was thing of swapping them for 45kg Pet PIRs. Or remove the PIR and fit vibration sensors.

What does everyone else do who has a dog??? Any recommendations?

If the dog barks to a knock on the door, then leave the alarm switched off.
No burglar is going to break into a house with a barking dog. They'll go find somewhere easier.

I've installed pet friendly PIR's for customers previously, always used the Honeywell range which have been reliable detectors with no false alarms.

He will bark but he hard looks like he is going to fend off some scumbags

Do you think this would be ok?? Quiet expensive I thought but upto 45kgs.

Is it as simple as disconnecting old one and connecting wires into the new one?

I've got the pet friendly PIR's on our system. Have a cat and a dog and they wander about at night downstairs without setting it off, but if my big lump of son gets up and forgets the alarms on, then the bells start screaming.

I can also vouch for the Honeywell, I don't have dogs but 2 cats who run around and jump on everything. 1 false alarm in 4 years

It's the noise that gets them running, not how tough the dog looks.

If he's restricted to a particular zone, can't you inhibit that zone when setting at night?

99% of alarms let you do stuff like this

Yeah but takes out half of the house alarm. That is why the alternative would be to get vibration sensors as well.
