Pet-Friendly Alarm Systems: Protect Your Home Without False Alarms
Pet owners shouldn't have to choose between keeping their home secure and allowing their pets to roam freely. Modern alarm systems use advanced motion detection technology that can distinguish between people and household pets, helping reduce false alarms while maintaining reliable protection.
Ajax Security Systems feature pet-friendly motion detectors designed to ignore cats, small dogs, and other household pets while still detecting human intruders. Combined with professional monitoring, security cameras, and mobile alerts, Ajax provides dependable security without requiring you to restrict your pets.
How Pet-Friendly Motion Sensors Work
Traditional motion detectors could be triggered by pets moving around the home. Modern Ajax motion detectors use advanced digital signal processing and intelligent detection algorithms to help distinguish between pets and people.
When properly installed and configured, compatible Ajax motion detectors can ignore pets weighing up to approximately 50 pounds (20 kg) and standing up to 20 inches (50 cm) tall, while continuing to detect human movement.
Proper installation height and sensor placement are essential for reliable performance.

- Keep large pet furniture away from motion detectors
- Test the system after installation
- Use door and window sensors as your primary perimeter protection
Professional installation helps ensure sensors are positioned for optimal performance.
