Pet Friendly Alarms
Watchdog Alarms provides reliable security solutions to protect homes, businesses, and properties. Offering advanced alarm systems, monitoring services, and expert support, we help keep what matters most safe and secure.
Protection Without False Alarms
Smart security for pet lovers
Your pets are part of the family, so protecting your home shouldn’t mean restricting where they can move when you’re away.
Watchdog Alarms can design a pet-friendly security system that helps reduce false alarms caused by dogs, cats and other household pets while maintaining effective protection for your home.
Every home and every pet is different. We take into account your property, the size and number of your pets, where they are allowed to move and how each area of the home is used before recommending the right security solution.
Pet Friendly Sensors
Smarter detection for homes with pets
Standard motion sensors aren’t always the best choice for a home with animals. Pets moving through a room, jumping onto furniture or using stairs can increase the likelihood of unwanted alarms if the system hasn’t been designed with them in mind.
Pet-tolerant motion detectors are specifically designed to reduce false alarms caused by household pets while continuing to detect movement associated with an intruder.
Just as importantly, correct positioning matters.
When designing a pet-friendly alarm system, we consider:
The size and number of your pets
Where they are allowed to move within the home
Furniture they may climb or jump onto
Stairs and changes in floor level
Room layout
Sensor position and mounting location
Rather than simply installing standard sensors and hoping for the best, we design the detection around the way you and your pets actually use your home.
Pet Cameras
Keep an eye on them while you’re away
Security cameras aren’t only useful when something goes wrong.
With cameras installed inside or around your home, you can check in on your pets while you’re at work, travelling or simply out for the day.
Depending on the camera system selected, intelligent video analytics can also help identify different types of activity and reduce unnecessary notifications.
Whether you want to see if the dog has come inside, check what the cat has been up to or simply make sure everything is okay at home, your cameras can be accessible directly from your phone.
Mobile Alarm and Camera Access
Your home security system in your pocket
With compatible smart alarm and camera systems, you can stay connected to your home wherever you are.
Using the Alarm.com app or the mobile app supplied with your camera system, you can access features such as:
Arm and disarm your alarm remotely
Check the current status of your security system
Receive alarm and activity notifications
View compatible security cameras
Review recorded footage
Manage users and access
Your alarm and cameras can work together to give you a simple way to keep an eye on both your property and your pets.
Trusted Pet-Friendly Alarm Systems
We don’t just install pet-friendly alarm systems — we use them ourselves.
Our team understands the challenge of keeping a property properly protected while still allowing pets to move naturally around the home.
Cocoa, one of Watchdog’s own four-legged team members, has spent years around our pet-friendly security systems at home and in the office.
That real-world experience is one of the reasons we take the time to understand your pets and your property before deciding how your alarm should be designed.
If you have pets and aren’t sure what type of alarm system will work in your home, talk to us. We can assess the property and recommend a solution designed around the way you actually live.
A Security System Designed Around Your Home
Your home is unique, and your security system should be too.
Depending on your property and your requirements, we can design a solution incorporating:
Pet-tolerant motion detection
Door and window sensors
Glass-break detection
Smart alarm technology
Indoor and outdoor CCTV
Mobile app control
Professional 24/7 alarm monitoring
We’ll recommend the combination that makes sense for your home rather than trying to fit every customer into the same standard package.
