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.

The result is a security system designed to protect your property while allowing your pets to continue enjoying their home.
