Is this sensor pet-friendly (can sensitivity be configured)?

It cannot be configured, but I have two dogs (under 20lbs) and they do not set off the sensors. However, my sensors are put at about shoulder height and the sensors may be more sensitive to animals if they are positioned lower.

There is not to my knowledge a way to trigger the PetSafe receiver with a remote. I use the PetSafe unit as boundary containment for my dog. I also have on her same collar a second box that allows sound and electric stimulant for training and correction.

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.

no, the sensor is housed in that little thing sticking up out of the unit in the photo. it's connected by a short wire to the unit so i imagine you could cut it and attach your own sensor to it.

I do recall reading about a remote sensor option. Their customer service was spot on with info when I called.

Hello Mark, Yes, the pet weight limit on these Pet Immune Motion sensors is 50lbs and less will not be detected. Thanks! www.FortressSecurityStore.com

Yes, they most definitely will. Unfortunately the motion sensors do not have a sensitivity adjustment. Perhaps you can make use of them by mounting them in any rooms where the pets aren't allowed, like the garage or a work-shed.

I don't know about that situation, however it is very sensitive and should detect sense that unless the sensor is infrared and may be reflected.

I believe that you can by using the settings switch, if that doesn't work....Duct tape over the sensor.

My experience has been that it is very sensitive and will activate with pets.

No. I wish you could, but it's a pretty basic unit. I was thinking of experimenting with it by putting some translucent tape over the sensor to reduce its sensitivity, but I haven't gotten around to it yet. I'll post another review if I do.

I have my set at our side fence entrance, where our dogs like to welcome "Dad" home after work. Yes, the dogs running up to the fence have set off the sensors. These are big shepherds, too.

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.

The sensor seems way sensitive to most area s I'm close. To but might be different on the amount of spacing you use

No it doesn't. That would be convenient since one of my dogs is more sensitive than the other.

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.

Yes, any metal will set off sensors. Will the cat be riding in a pet carrier, otherwise? Probably best to not harness the cat when going through security. It would stress out your cat. Exercise him hours previous to trip in an area he's familiar.
