I have a dog so I dont want it to go unless motion is detected at 4 feet and higher, will this work?

I would think the dog would trip it. I have mine on top of a refrigerator and it seems to trip pretty easy.

I have cats and a dog. It is difficult to set the alarm high enough to not trigger it. U have to be creative and try different angles. The alarm works well at four feet high. I take these alarms camping and duct tape them at about four feet or higher to the large camp tent that covers the kitchen area.

I believe so. We have our unit positioned far from our house along a lengthy driveway and it detects someone walking by or animal (deer) movement.

no reason why not. it doesnt work through walls. there must be a direct path between the dog and the unit.

Unfortunately the unit has a motion sensor so it will detect any movement including the two legged kind. I would suggest setting up the unit at the foot of the property close the sidewalk or flowerbed facing towards the house. Then you have to remember its there or you will end up getting wet if you forget to turn the water off when you go to do the gardening ... lol.

Should work very well. But remember that it will be 1 foot above ground level. My dog likes to stretch beyond his bed on thwe floor.

Yes, my small house cat sets this motion sensor off. The sensor is mounted 8 feet high and pointed down a 12 foot hallway. I relocated this sensor into the basement instead due to the false alarms.

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

I did multiple tests with my cats. The answer is no. The recommended height of the motion detectors are between 5'5" to 6'8". I put mine at 6ft, aimed it towards the ground. I made them walk through it (it was difficult, since cats don't really listen to you) , and they did not trigger the motion detector. Note that they are all under 20lbs.

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 motion detector range is about 15 feet to 20 feet but if you place one in barn the wireless signal should work no problem. Plus I believe Fortress makes a booster panel to increase the signal. Maybe you could mount the booster outside and that would work even better. My furthest sensor is about 80 feet and it works through my house over my garage and shed.

I would say yes. The sensor points up, but a tall dog could easily put its snout up to activate it. I have a golden retriever and it has never activated the sensor (yet). Worst case, you could remove the batteries and it becomes a manual lift.

Your best bet is to mount the transmitter high enough off the ground say 3 to 4 feet or more so that it will not detect the cats walking under it. This unit is one of the best out there for it's price and reliance. Well worth the money!

I don't know if this would work. Ours is set at a very low distance and doesn't go off until the dog is right on it, so it might work. If you just needed one section of it, you could twist the wires on the rest of the circle and have just one area be live

according too simplisafe cats and dogs under 30lbs won't set off the motion detector. if they are above that all you do is reverse the device upside down.

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.

Don't think it will because if the detector is covered it can't see motion.

Hello. We are happy with the unit and it works quite well. We have it at the top of our stairs and it keeps our two beagles off the second floor. We got the "stubborn dog" correction collars and, since you can vary the level of correction, it works as well as our outdoor invisible fence.
