Keep Your Pets Comfortable—And Your Home Protected If you're a pet owner in Baton Rouge, you know how important it is to keep your furry family members safe. But traditional motion sensors often don’t work well with active pets—they trigger false alarms and frustrate both you and your security provider. That’s why more homeowners are switching to pet-friendly motion sensors designed with animal behavior in mind. How Do Pet-Friendly Sensors Work? Weight Filtering: Sensors can be set to ignore motion caused by animals under 40–80 lbs. Field of Vision Adjustments: By aiming sensors higher, they focus on human-sized movement while ignoring floor activity. Heat Differentiation: Dual-tech sensors use both motion and infrared heat sensing to better distinguish pets from intruders. Whether you have a playful Labrador in Highland Park or a curious cat in Mid City, pet-friendly sensors ensure your system works with your lifestyle—not against it. 🐶 Want to install or upgrade to a pet-safe security system? Emergency Alert Security has the expertise to make it happen without compromising protection.

Is your home security system keeping up with modern threats? For many Baton Rouge homeowners, the answer is no. Here are 5 signs it’s time to upgrade your home security system: You Can't Control It from Your Phone: Older systems lack mobile integration, meaning you can’t check cameras or receive alerts when you’re away. Poor Video Quality—or No Cameras at All: If your cameras are grainy, have blind spots, or don’t record to the cloud, it’s time to modernize. You Experience False Alarms Frequently: Outdated sensors or faulty wiring can lead to repeated false alarms—making your system more frustrating than protective. There’s No Smart Home Integration: Your security system should talk to your lights, thermostat, locks, and garage doors for full control and automation.
