We’re looking into getting a home security system, but we have a medium-sized dog and want something that won’t constantly be triggered by his movement. What’s the best pet-friendly home security system out there?

It’s great that you’re thinking about both security and your dog’s presence in your home! Many home security systems now offer pet-friendly motion sensors that are designed to ignore the movement of animals under a certain weight, typically around 40-50 pounds. Systems like Frontpoint, Vivant, and SimpliSafe offer motion detectors that can be adjusted or have pet-sensitive settings, so your dog’s movements won’t trigger alarms. I encourage you to read our article on the best home security systems for pet owners to learn more.

Another option is to place the sensors in areas that your dog doesn’t frequently access, like higher up on walls or in corners. This way, they can still cover the entire home without being set off by your furry friend’s movements. Be sure to double-check the system’s pet sensitivity settings before you commit.
