Does anyone know if the motion sensor can be adjusted such that it turns on if an animal like a cat, dog or raccoon gets near?

I've yet to install the light but I believe it can be adjusted and in fact probably takes time before you get it the way you want.

Yes, we have ours mounted at about 20 feet above our deck and it will pick up our dogs. It also comes on inexplicably in the middle of the night. We guess it picks up birds or bats or some other creature.

absolutely! mine is tripped by raccoons all the time, right out of the box with no adjustment. Shouldn't be a problem

It is adjustable for motion sensitivity and where the motion sensor is facing. It will pick up animals. Our neighbors cat trips ours sometimes.

You have to buy the sensor separately or as a package. I love mine. It is LOUD though and outside of the garage, well any cat or breezing trees would set it off unless you had it in a sheltered area without critters. We have all kinds of critters where I live, lol it would drive me nuts. This is what goes with it that I have Ideal Security Inc. SK615 Residential Wireless RF Motion Detector

Not without modifying it heavily. It has a motion sensor that keeps it on low until movement is detected.

Motion sensors are not too sensitive, specially in the case of small pets. Try factory setting first, it should work fine.

it's not a weight sensor - cats and dogs "move", so why would you think they might not trigger it?

Just installed the alarm, and so far my medium sized cat has set if off three times. We've tried adjusting the sensitivity and location of the motion sensor, but no luck so far.

yes it can be activated by animals passing the motion detector anytime of day. One thing to be certain of is to keep the line of sight clear. I once parked my car in between the receiver and the motion detector and it did not work. Otherwise it is fantastic to give a heads up that someone is coming up the driveway. Mine is more than 100 feet from the house and on the wrong side of the tree it is mounted on.

Yes, this is a motion sensor alarm. It will probably pick up motion from your dog, unless you set it high enough that it doesn't cover the area all the way to the floor.I don't have any pets, so I can't say for sure, but I believe it will sense the body heat and motion of your dog.Hope this helps you.

We don't have any pets so we don't know for sure. We do know however that the motion sensors are adjustable up and down. We had to adjust ours down a bit to sense an intruder coming in the door. Hope this helps.

I haven't found one - aside from this, the two other products that I've found that are similar are the "Tattle Tale" which is triggered by vibrations, and the "Ssscat" which is also a motion detector. I've tried all three and the Ssscat is the only one that works with my cats.

I would think you could but it was not designed that way,I'm not sure how the motion sensor would work,,,

Yes, but keep aware of where you place the detector. It works fine except with furniture taller then your waist and somewhat close to the detector, that the cat can jump onto it. We placed our detector near a stairwell within 6 feet of a half wall and when the cat jumped up, it triggered it. We moved it a few more feet away from the half wall and it worked fine.

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

I'm going to say no for a couple reasons: 1) Its field of vision is very small and unpredictable. At best (maybe when the lighting is best?), ours only detects motion up to around 18" away; most of the time it's less reliable, and frequently doesn't detect motion 6" away from the sensor. I wouldn't rely on this sensor for anything important. 2) The exterior of the top does not appear to be weather-proofed. I could imagine water entry breaking it easily. We have a cat-jumping-over-gates problem and solved it with string. Our cat can jump up and land on top of a sturdy gate, even though it's narrow; but if we tie a mostly taut string across the space about 2" above the top of the gate, the cat is afraid to try the jump. The string (floss, actually) is too narrow for it to land and balance on comfortably, and too close to the gate for the cat to ignore, so it gives up.

I believe the "plus" system will trigger an alarm if the pet leaves a pre-defined perimeter. Because of the directionality of the RF transmitter/receiver, this may or may not be a good thing. It also eats batteries at a faster pace. For my cat, I new he wouldn't stay in one area. I have no problem finding him when I need to locate him.

No the motion sensor are not made for outdoor use & inside they only have about a 10ft radius in my house so you have to be strategic in placing them. I think I read that the Pet sencors are made so they will not detect the motion of anything under 30lbs. Hope this helps, I am pleased with my system & it was easy to hook up.

Yes. The motion sensors can be paired with a door or window in a room. They won't sound the alarm unless both the door or window and the motion sensor is triggered. Pets & people can move through the motion sensor's view without triggering the alarm until the door or window is opened. Then both are triggered and alarm sounds.
