Will my pet trigger a false alarm?

If you’re a pet owner considering a home security system, you’ve probably wondered: Will my cat or dog keep setting it off? After all, nobody wants to rush home because a playful Labrador decided to jump on the sofa.

At Provision Systems, we understand that your pets are part of the family, and your security should protect everyone without unnecessary disruptions. That’s why we supply and install Ajax Systems alarms, which are specifically designed with pet-friendly features to minimise false alarms.

How Ajax Systems Prevent Pet-Triggered Alarms

Ajax Systems use advanced motion detection technology that distinguishes between human movement and the movement of small animals. Here’s how:

1. Pet Immunity Sensors; Ajax motion detectors can ignore movement from pets weighing up to 20 kg and around 50 cm in height. That means most cats and small-to-medium dogs can roam freely without setting off the alarm.

2. Smart Signal Processing; Instead of reacting to every movement, Ajax sensors analyse infrared patterns, speed, and heat signatures. This helps them identify whether it’s a person or a pet moving in the room.

3. Adjustable Sensitivity; You can fine-tune the sensitivity settings to suit your home and pets’ behaviour. Got an energetic puppy? No problem, you can make the detectors even less sensitive to smaller, fast movements.

Real-World Example

A customer in Colchester with two cats and a playful Labrador was worried about constant alarms. After installing an Ajax alarm system and carefully positioning sensors away from pet play areas, they’ve had zero pet-related false alarms for over a year.

Tips for Pet-Friendly Alarm Setup

• Position Detectors Carefully; Avoid placing sensors where pets climb or jump, such as near tall furniture.

• Consider Height & Weight; If you have a larger dog, discuss detector placement and settings with your installer.

• Use Multiple Layers of Security; Door and window sensors add extra protection without relying solely on motion detection.
