Home Surveillance With Your Pets In Mind

Riley Garrett

Pets are a part of the family for many homeowners. The safety and security of your furry friends can, and should, play a role in the design of your home surveillance system. You will need to take special precautions during installation and rely on unique features to protect your property and pets simultaneously.

Use Programmable Sensors

Many modern home surveillance systems rely on motion sensors to monitor your property. It can be inconvenient to have your pet constantly triggering these motion sensors. The authorities will be dispatched, and you will waste valuable time and resources on false alarms.

Harness the power of programmable sensors to prevent your pet from accidentally triggering your home alarm system. Programmable sensors can be set to activate only when items of a certain size or weight limit pass through them. Set the weight higher than the weight of your pet, and you will eliminate accidental triggers.

You can also install your sensors slightly higher than they would be installed in pet-free homes. This ensures that a human being will trip the sensor, but a dog or cat will not.

Implement Geofencing

Technology has revolutionized home security systems and made it possible to track the movements of anyone entering and exiting your home. This includes tracking the movements of your pet. You can fit your pet with a specially designed collar that communicates with a tracking system connected to your home surveillance system.

Geofencing allows you to establish a virtual barrier for your pet. If the collar senses that your pet has traveled outside this barrier, you will be sent a notification. Geofencing lets you track the movements of your pet more effectively to prevent having him or her be lost or stolen.

Incorporate Environmental Monitoring

Modern surveillance systems can do much more than just alert you of movement within your living space. These systems can monitor the environmental conditions within your home to help prevent fire, carbon monoxide poisoning, and other disasters.

If you share your home with a pet, you should always incorporate environmental monitoring into the design of your home security system. This type of monitoring allows you to identify when your pet is at risk due to changes in the environment inside your home.

You can call for help and save the life of your beloved pet in addition to reducing the amount of damage that your home sustains as a result of environmental changes.
