So perimeter in a living room with patio doors and a big window.

 What would you run for that ?

I know what your saying pete but is still maintain perimeter protection is better. 

Agreed but perimeter protection would be better with, or without pets. However, its much harder to put siesmic detectors on every window and door, without having wires everywhere. 

I know that you have never been a fan of pet tolerant motion sensors, I used to be very sceptical, but I was very impressed with the bluelines when they first came out, and have never looked back, they just work.

A siesmic detector to the wind frame.

vibe x2 on the patio with a combined.

Big window I dunno, is it a bay, plastic etc?

 

The window is same side as patio doors and plastic . 

 

Not sure what to do now as sound like the Bosch PIRs are good then others say perimeter is better lol.

that's the reason they get bought. cheap

Just think your wanting a movement sensor to ignore movement. so called pet sensors are cheaper than doing it right. 

Most pros will say perimeter imo

 

Plastic will need more vibes as it absorbs shock

This is why many go for the bodge rather than the ideal 

It's relative tho. You say bodge some say budget solution.

I would never guarantee that a pet friendly sensor would be fine there normally see how you go on a retrofit basis.

A new install I wouldn't consider movement sensors unless in combination with perimeter.

 

I'm still very impressed with my 2 fat Labradors never tripping an e-line DT Pet* though, set daily as monitored

 

*Sorry OP these excellent sensors are no longer available in the UK
