1 min. readlast update: 07.16.2024

The Pir Sensors are quite sensitive. It is recommended for pets that the sensors be installed a minimum of 7.5 to 8 feet high, PIR sensors work by detecting changes in infrared radiation within their field of view. By adjusting the sensor's angle, you should be able to focus it more on human-sized movement while minimizing detection of smaller objects, such as your dog or cat. Aim the PIR sensor slightly higher so that it is less likely to detect movement at lower levels.
