I have had a Slomin's security system in my home for a few years and
have been satisfied. However, my fiancee just moved in with her three
cats. Now the motion sensor goes off when they use the stairway (at
least.. that's what I have witnessed for right now.. who knows where
else they will trip it off..)

I called Slomins and they just said disarm the motion sensor.. Well..
that defeates the purpose of home security, doesn't it? They acted
like there was nothing else they could do.

I read about Intelligent Pet Sensors, that are able to tell the
difference between an animal or a burgler.. However, that's all sales-
pitch. I have also read stuff from people saying they are a big
disappointment.

They work, as least ours does.

What do people with pets do in the case of having a home security
system.. Do they just not use motion sensors and use window and door
sensors?

We have five cats. Our sensors are activated by both motion and body heat.
Unless the cats come within approximately 1.5 to 2 feet of the sensor, they
cannot set off the alarm. Since the sensors are mounted at ceiling level,
this is literally impossible. At the same time, they easily sense a body
as small as a 5 year old child. After installation, we had extensive
testing done.
