Domestic alarm (customer has cat & dog)

[p11jor]

So today I finally pressed the rcd tripbutton on my tester and with few little bits and bobs to put back together my nightmare rewire was out of the way!

I had joiners putting architrave over back boxes, plasterers clipping my cables, change of kitchen plans, the decorator was painting about one ceiling a weekend so the 2nd fix was dragging on massively.

Customer comes in, happy with job, there's me thinking I am going to walk out the door never to return then they ask me to fit a alarm, they said "they were not to keen on cables around the house" so I thought wireless alarm great!.....then they tell me they have a cat and a dog.....

Any advice on a alarm for this??

Cheers guys

if a sensor allows a 100lb body, a skinny burglar wouldn't be detected either.

Well yh ur right but thats wat it states, would it be to do with height aswell

i've only ever used the 40lb limit sensors. not seen the texecom ones.

as sparky says id go with perimeter,wireless vibs and contacts,pet sensors do a job for dogs,but cats climb,

Shut them in a room and omit the zone.

it doesn't matter if cats climb, as these PIRs go by body size, not like the old "pet trap" ones that just didn't cover low down to the floor.

What about the "double knock" type of PIR?

no good as they can detect an animal twice within the specified time and still go into alarm
