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.
