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.

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?


doors and windows is the best way to go, with a motion strategically
placed inside incase. pet proof motions work great for dogs, not so
great for cats that can jump up and get close to motion. if you can find
a place where the motion is pointing where the cat can not get on
something and get closer to the motion then it will work well. otherwise
look out for cats and motions.
All I've been able to do is make sure no one walks on my ceilings. The
rest of the volume belongs to the cats.


Since we don't need to lock our doors yet it's not a big problem.

I'm with you. The day I have to lock my doors is the day I sell the house. I
just don't get security systems. Try moving to someplace safe.
