    Most of the big names are ok these days. Risco (the old Rokonet) and Bosch Tri-Techs work well. Nothing is guaranteed though. As soon as animals jump on benches or furniture, walk up stairs with an open balustrade, or get a little too exuberant, there's an increased possibility of activation.

    The best course of action is no pets in areas with motion sensors.

    I have got Paradox 9 * DG75 detectors around the house. Lots of the time I leave the dog inside, he has never set the detectors off. The only false alarm I have ever had is from a bird that made its way inside through the roof and the open manhole when I was doing renovations. Just waiting for the GF to move in with the cat.... that is anouther topic all together.
    My parents have RX40's and a multi-shit dog, such a small dog hasnt ever set off a false alarm.

    Yeah the DG55's and DG75s have given me good results - the DG75 being the Pet version (is that also the wireless P/N)
    Mount them at the correct heights and adjust the pulse counts and all should be swell.
    The twin trip on an R* panel is useless but the intelliZone on the Paradox has been really good on the few sites I have it working on.

    Increasing pulse counts or cross-zoning (Paradox call it Intellizone) as a false alarm countermeasure can be a very bad habit to get into. I've had confirmed break and enters which caused a single activation on a single zone in a house jam-packed with detectors. There would have been no activation at all under both of those scenarios.

    There are very legitimate uses for both of those functions and they are not ideal for reducing spurious detection.

    correct.
    however on a site that the client wants their pets to cruise around the house all day without setting off the alarm it can work.
    It also works well for a shed scenario where you get insects and things...
    Doesnt it trigger both zones (multi) after a confirmed intellizone hit?
    the other thing is to reduce the time I think its 8 seconds by default.

    That's a band-aid. The only thing that should be setting off the PIRs, is Rob.

    Not Fido or Louie.
