Modern technology is a wonderful thing. It helps us live our lives in a much more customised way. We can easily connect with friends and family through a myriad of avenues and it can also be used to help keep us safe and secure. The use of cellular phones has helped a large number of people out of potentially life threatening situations, micro chips in our pets mean they can traced back to us and returned safely even if they end up hundreds of kilometres away, and GPS tracking can also help us find stolen vehicles.
Burglar alarms have been around for a good number of years in their standard form, however with the technological advances they have also become far more personalised so that we can choose an alarm system that suits us, and our family.
Whilst alarms help keep our property and family safe, for many years they have not been 'pet friendly' and there have been many a time that the beloved moggy or family dog has set off the alarm in error. This is not only an inconvenience to the family but can be extremely distressing to the animal, particularly if it becomes trapped in the home with the alarm sounding. Fortunately there are now alarm systems that offer a wonderful solution to this problem.
Most alarm systems run off two different triggers - one of them is a break in the seal, this is when a door or window is opened and the connection between the points is broken, the other is the motion sensor where the alarm detects movement and assumes it is a human and then sets off the alarm. Clearly the connection system is not affected by animals, however the motion sensors are. This is where a pet-friendly alarm system comes into it's own.
