can the motion activation be triggered by a pet (dog monitoring)?

Yes. If it is in the range of the camera, it will set off the motion detection.

Yes. I purchased mine for that reason. To monitor which one of my cats was urinating in inappropriate places.

Fairly sensitive. No cats, so can't speak to that portion of the question but I would imagine so. I can turn it on by sticking a hand through the door. Seventy pound dog sets it off. You can shorten the on time to 1 minute without motion. You might also be able to screen the lower half of the sensor with some tape so the cat's only set it off when they jump on something.

I have a Weimariner. Tall dog. He is next to it all the time. It won't activate unless there is a body part directly above the sensor. He would have to put his head over it. Mine is a food a holic and has never done this. I would say you will have no problems.

I think the motion sensors could possibly pick up pet movement. I had trouble with my motion sensors without pets in the house, they were tripping for unknown reason.

Yes. The camera can be set to automatically record when motion is sensed by the camera.

I think the sensor is pointing up and out- it's a little hard to tell because mine doesn't always activate the first pass I make. I would think a dog could definitely activate it especially if the dog was interested in the smells.

You can. It will detect movement but the setup is difficult. I'm still hit-or-miss with the settings on mine. The instructions are very limited as to what each option you setup in the software.

Your going to need the other motion sensors, they are "pet" friendly and are designed to not go off with smaller pets. I believe that is another package with those units, they are only about $5 more each.

Yes it can, depending on how it is set. When we first set ours up we tested to see if our beagle, who is old, fat and slow, would set it off. Yep. But to be honest, this thing is a piece of junk. It may or may not work and will quit without any reason. I now use Loftek IR cameras, with my own security system I pieced together. They work lots better, have the ability to select not only sensitivity, but also security areas. And, if you get an intruder, you have his video.

Yes it can. It will detect body heat only and large pets. I would avoid placing the sensor in direct sunlight. It will stay on from 10 to 15 seconds.

Not at all, if you have small animals, you place the motion sensors upside down. There are very simple, clear instructions on how to place the motion sensors when you have pets in the installation booklet

Yes. I think so. The only problem I see is if the animal is so light and/or light on foot that it does not make a vibration to set off the alarm. I have cats and it is somewhat the problem.

I have two cats that have chased each other on occasion in constructive exercise daily past the motion sensor and the sensor has not recognized their activity. I have not checked the sensor for active participation in the system yet so I must do that to ensure it is working properly.

The motion sensor activation is typically part of the software running the camera. My cameras run 24 hours a day but the application only records the video when it detects motion.

it is a motion sensor, once you put your telephone numbers it will cal you and leave a message. the sound alarm can bve turned off. but if you have a pet it is not a good idea. get a IPcam to monitor home

yes the motion detector is sensitive to pets you have to adjust it trial an error

Yes! Just use the motion sensor mode and it will detect any movement and record it.
