Can I still have pets in the house and use my alarm system?

Yes, but with certain restrictions!  Animals and motion sensors and/or under carpet mats do not mix.

Most people that have pets must take extra care when “arming”  their alarm systems!

You must make sure that all pets are relegated to a portion of the premises that has no burglary protection.

Or, you could have the motion sensors and/or under carpet mats “by-passed” out of the alarm system in the areas where the pets roam freely before it is “armed.”  Or, your security dealer can design a “Pet Alley” into your system, which provides certain “clearance levels” in which the pet can move about within the motion device’s protection area.
