What pet detector would you lads recommend, ive used Texecom ' i wont see a pet but do' detectors. Ive blocked out the lower zones but feel im not getting a good coverage.

Hello Adi,

Regardless of the manufacturers 'blurb' you will compromise coverage with pet detectors,

Is there no alternative?

Got to admit to being a bit of a sceptic when it comes to so called 'pet friendly' detectors, i mean a medium to large size dog is going to be the same size a human crawling so, anyone knowing this would just know not to stand up whilst loading the dvd and video out the window, ok i maybe taking a slightly simplistic view here but i still think that if you've got pets, lock em in somewhere without a passive when you go out, no fuss no bother.

I take it pet DT's are the same as a standard pet PIR or do they offer a bit more performance?

Having a pet put in another room is not always possible.

Usually there is weight limit in crawling object. Depends of the detector but 38kg's with detectors that I have used.

Sorry guys I have got to disagree with you.

We've been using the DS820IT for several years now without a single problem.

They will allow several cats or up to 2 dogs so long as they can't get within 6 feet of the detector.

And they still pick up 'human' movement better than some PIRs

They're easy to fit and simple to setup too.

erm? there's a d0g in post?

What a bizzare forum this is

in my opinion a junkie thief weighs a lot less than 2 dogs...so does the dvd player he walks off with too........... give em a kennel thats what i say...

Not all customers want to lock there pets away or are cabable of doing it. One customer has a lounge, dining room and kitchen that is walk through (no doors) and a stafford who is kept in there.

If it was a moggy i would tell them to put it down i hate them, but a moggy has got a lot less IR.

I agree there is a compromise in coverage but if someone is ransacking a house its gonna pick them up.

As for perimeter protection i dont want any cables on show.

I might try PET DT's.
