Visonic PIR Sensors


Recommended Posts

Hi i am currently replacing my old alarm  with a Visonic wireless system but after fitting some of the pet PIR's I am finding they are not very sensitive at all, they do work and I have moved them down the wall a bit but they still don't seem that good. Has any one got any tips or is this normal? Thanks a lot, Gary

They're are not great pickup on the default settings and are useless outside the strict mounting height in the manual.

Do they have a settle down time like the Honeywell , they trigger once in 3 mins something like that?

Are the Visonic one's classed as cheap?

depends on what you class as cheap. I think so yes, acceptable but low end. A decent hard wired pet tolerant sensor is more than a wireless visonic one. But i dont like them as a theory. If you have pets then peremiter protection is the way to go imho

Visonic do shock sensors look at adding those

 

I wouldn't if you can avoid it, inertia things with 1/2AA batteries they're expensive for what they are too.

In practice it's the right idea to go perimeter, just unfortunate the kit your working with.

So as said they sleep,  that might also throw you, if you testing the exit zone for alarm when it was already triggered or asleep

yes I have just looked at it I think is on the panel event counter (event counter: Here you determine whether an alarm will be activated upon continued motion (low sensitivity) or upon a single alarm event (high sensitivity).. Optional settings: LOW sensitive (default) and HIGH sensitive.) is this correct as their is noting on the PIR itself
