Does the actual alarm unit need upgrading? or is it at the PIR level? or a combination of both? |
I reckon the more reliable method would be to use the window/door contacts, but these are susceptible to air/ground vibrations such as thunder etcetera(cos door and window frames DO rattle). If you've got decent frames then they are generally good.
PIR's - need to lower the heights and change the lens' for a pet lens - this cuts off the detection swathe into a level beam. This should be OK for the time being until the kitties learn how to jump up on the furniture and counters. By lowering and using pet lens' then you could "cut" the room down to waist or shoulder height so that anything below it would not be picked up (unless Mr or Miss Burglar goes around on hands and kness - not unheard of).
Anyhow, what are they doing in the house on their own anyway?
