Is it possible to beat an active PIR sensor which is mounted to a top corner of a room by sliding across the floor on your stomach? I saw this done on "The Gadget Show" today but wasn't sure if pet friendly sensors were used.

How do you get a 48 inch plasma out crawling on your stomach ?

If it can be done on TV yes they have beaten it but in a real break in scenario i cant see it happening.

i bet they didnt try it with a ceiling mount 360 pir :LOL:
 
Heat the room to body temperature and you can walk about quite freely without the sensor detecting you.

They can be defeated but not by pretending to be a pet unless your thermal image is smaller than size of pet the sensor ignores.
