Im using HKC wireless PIR Cams with pet lenses in. I do get the odd false alarm but as i can take a picture via the app i dont worry. However these are internal devices i fitted them externally to test. We have done this on a roof, two HKC pir cameras. Yes there are false alarms, but because they are on the flat roof not that many mostly birds, and none at night. The positive is the fact that a false alarm has its picture taken and sent to the phone app, therefore the customer knows its a false alarm and just rearms the system. No need to go racing up to the house with his dog and baseball bat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sixwheeledbeast Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 I wouldn't be bothered with something that false alarms, you get complacent in the case of a genuine attack. Especially if it's something you have to manually rearm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Charnock Posted July 26, 2017 Author Share Posted July 26, 2017 I think I have concluded that outdoor sensors are a nonstarter, thanks for your help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PeterJames Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 I should mention that the house is not occupied full time, the staff live in the gate house. They need to know if intruders are on the roof when the house is occupied Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
