Thought I was buying the best Outdoor PIR sensor for residential purposes, the expensive Pyronix XDL12TT-AM PIR with "tri-signal" technology (IR and Microwave). They are marketed as offering up to 24Kg pet immunity. I'm getting false alarms caused by the local rascal, probably weighing 5Kg. There doesn't appear to be a pet immune adjustment setting. Only beam length and height adjustment. The sensitivity is set to Auto (instead of High) but still I get a false alarm most nights (backed up by CCTV in some cases). Yes, I can adjust the mount angle but then I won't be able to detect a crouching intruder.
What are people's experiences of such sensors? Is pet immunity generally over-marketed BS? I have 6 of these and invested a lot of time and energy into installing them around the perimeter of the house, all of them have a similar problem. I really hope there is a hidden adjustment. Need to find a solution.
Thanks
